Dead duck

There is a tour going round called “Live Dead ‘69” Not sure who is involved but it falls on a day I’ve already scheduled off so I plan on Checking it out. They are playing the same venue DSO plays when they come to Louisville. I looked it it up and it’s Tom Constanten, Mark Karan, Robin Sylvester, Slick Aguilar (Starship) and JGBs drummer and jay lane are splitting drum duties. Not sure if this is still the lineup but it was when the tour started in ‘17

Well I got some decent news. My youngest who is normally taking finals first day of jubilee, usually don’t care that he misses the jube every year because he is sketchy about camping in bad weather. This year with the lineup he has actually been complaining about not getting to go. Well over the weekend we were checking out his schedule and he goes to school the entire week after Memorial Day this year. So that means no finals on jubilee day and I can pull him out to come up early. May have both boys at the jubilee for the first time since year 3 or 4.

So Rude’s rumor scared Lukas Nelson into backing out of Jubilee 😂😆😆 but Marcus King Band taking their spot. Was looking forward to POTR but I’ve seen MKB and they’re pretty awesome. He sat in with everyone the year I went tobWanee

Did you just start said rumor? 😆😂 would be freaking great if that were were the case. Neil and Willie both on boys bucket list. Youngest would actually be disappointed to miss it.

Maybe that Low Spark baby gets birthed NYE or maybe jubilee? I preferJubilee for extremely selfish reasons

Appreciate your efforts man. Really helps those of us that dont make it to certain areas. Real aNice quality too. Thanks brother.

I’m not familiar with the area at all but if it’s an 8:00 show time you’ll be back out on the streets by 12. Unless they have some “no curfew” rule or something I’m not aware of. Hope this helps.

😆😂😆😆

Oh man. This hurts my heart to hear this shit went down. Hope this isn’t the start of a trend. I wouldn’t be able to identify any of the new fangled things either. As someone who has been bringing kids to shows for years I am used to putting myself in between them and the out of control and I have no problem telling some staggering lunatic that it’s time to relocate. But usually it’s just drunks. I’m very naive probably to the new trendy drugs that has our youth so fucked up and dying like crazy.

Local Billy strings show just announced for here in January too. Liking what I’m seeing so far from the lineup. Although everything after 3 nights of DSO is just gravy anyways. Can’t wait

I’ve always told the boys I want that to lay me down played at my funeral.

I respect the guy as a performer and a songwriter. He has a very dedicated fan base. And I know we can all identify with that. I’ve heard the same positive reviews about his live performances. I’d hold my tongue if I was ever up east. Lol. My boy has a similar dislike for John Mellencamp. And living in Indiana I have to tell him to dial it back. People love that guy round here. 😆😂

So before I start the story I’ll just apologize ahead of time if you are a fan. I am not but didn’t know I hereditarily passed the hatred down until today. Had a a meeting with counselors at my sons school today. Routine thing we do once a year just to make sure he isn’t falling behind in anything. Teachers each sent notes to the meeting and most were just usual stuff. “He is fine” ”well behaved” “no problems” Now some of you know how he is with his knowledge of music and it’s not limited to the Grateful Dead. I’d put him up against just about anyone in music trivia of 50’s 60’s and 70’s music. Anyhow then we get to his radio teachers comments ”Luke is very enthusiastic in my class and is a joy to teach.......... except when he often debates me telling me how Bruce Springsteen sucks and how overrated he is” I laughed through the whole meeting after that. Literally shed tears and offered to excuse myself. 😆😂😆 Again sorry if the Boss is your guy but I had to share somewhere.

Wonder what song brought this on?

My youngest just added that to his record collection last weekend. Killing time in Bloomington record shop picking big bro up at school on the way to Egyptian Room.

I’m ashamed I missed a home state show. Especially after the set list and venue reviews. After the mini run last week I couldn’t swing two weeks in a row. Also love going to Columbus but don’t think that’s in the cards either. Enjoy the road and safe travels everyone

I knew I was leaving something out. Thanks man.

My youngest who is a freak for the old school stuff said tonight’s may have topped Wednesday’s show for him. Got a lot of firsts for him. Oldest got to join us for this one. I may be on the bench from now til jubilee. Hopefully a date will pop up between now and then but enjoy the road and the shows because I know I sure as hell did. *Also may be missing 1 or 2 and order may be off but it should be close. (I had help) lol

He just turned 16, and I think he passed me in height just over this little 3 day run. Oldest got to join us tonight in Indy.

I let my son off at the door so I could go park and within 5 minutes got a text ’69 down and dirty. Guaranteed”. He was in heaven. Lol

The goods indeed. Highlights for me were alligator, H2H, maybe the best eleven I’ve ever gotten, lovelight, death don’t always sends chills. I dont think I’ll ever get tired of hearing any of the songs played in that “live dead” type 2nd set. Just exactly perfect.

I always assumed it was venue dependent. I may be wrong but like Egyptian Room in Indy never does it. So I just assumed it’s venue related. I could definitely be wrong tho

An hour and a half drive each way. I call that “local” 😆😂 will review if I make it

Anyone ever seen the Garcia project? Supposed to be in Covington (near Cincinnati) Saturday. Don’t think they’ve played down this way before or if they have I haven’t heard. They recreate JGB shows I think. I may try to make it up that way.
