It may sound crazy, but for a moment I was on the fence for the first time in Jubilee history. I was thinking about the prices of VIP and then I thought about getting a cabin in the Adirondacks that same weekend for fishing and hiking for about the same cost. I was thinking how I’ve seen too many ‘76-78 shows from DSO and how it would probably rain. but then I realized I don’t get to see DSO enough. That when they play really well it never matters what the set list is, and they always play very well at at the Jubilee. I realized there are folks I only see at the Jubilee, and by May, my professional life is so busy I need to get away badly and listen to music. so I bought Gen admission tickets for the first time in years, and I’m excited to be returning. I’ve not missed a Jubilee yet, and I won’t this year either. See you in May. Hoping for weird set lists 🤠

One of my most exciting moments in seeing DSO was seeing the first "Who Was John" in Covington in 2013. I also really enjoyed seeing electric "Big Iron" in 2012

Im at a place where I’m less enthused by 1976-1978 setlists, so when I arrived & saw the set up and the Travis bean, I was a little bit let down (while also absolutely loving that Travis Bean tone, FYI). I decided to make the most of it, trying to place the show. When I head the Bertha>good lovin, I knew it wasn’t 76. When the three slow songs happened in the first set, I realized it had to be 1978. Why they ever needed three slow songs back to back, I don’t know, but DSO played them like consummate professionals. Eaton won me over with his slide guitar all night, and Barraco was playing really well. At set break I figured out it was 9/16/78, and wondered how the second set would actually go. it went fantastic! The energy grew and bounced between a great crowd and the band and it is in those moments I felt some lift off. it’s a reminder to me: no matter my headspace or what the set list looks like: when the band is playing well, it doesn’t matter what the set list looks like. I had a blast in Asheville! Thanks DSO!

Listen to the stagger Lee on the original show 2/7/1979, then compare it to the stagger lee a week before. I’ve never heard Garcia so slow before or after. DSO did a fantastic job, but the set list they played was: Set 1: Don't Ease Me In ; Mama Tried > Mexicali Blues ; Jack-a-Roe ; Looks Like Rain ; They Love Each Other ; New Minglewood Blues ; Stagger Lee ; I Need A Miracle > Bertha Set 2: Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain ; Dancing In The Street > drums > Black Peter > Good Lovin' Encore: U.S. Blues Filler: Love the One You're With

Actually I got home from my daughters theater performance and caught the second set from home ala streaming

The drums & space really spoke to me…really well done

My lovely wife will be singing backup for Lemongrass on Saturday so be sure to give any early dance moves you have to spare…see you soon 🤠

I’ll take the heat. The cold rain can go away

I remember Barraco fondly playing the Walrus during Phil tour 2001..always a good time

In my Grateful Dead tape collecting and listening career, 1976 shows are my least favorite. They still are, but DSO covering them has made them waaaaay more interesting. Especially when Jeff plays the Travis Bean

edit the comments about last years rains and multiple fests-I see that Rude already said that. I'm thinking its been less rain so far this year than last, thankfully

I love that original show- I would have enjoyed seeing this one

After I got off tour in 2001, I got married, had 3 babies, worked full time while full time getting undergraduate & graduate degrees and we had no family for 600 miles. Then as we worked our way into better jobs, we had many of the same experiences of no money or no time off that was allowed. All that to say: I totally get it. Even now, though I have more free time and flexibility, with my oldest about 20 & in college, my 14 & 16 year old are happy and healthy and still in school & participate in stuff that keeps us really busy. But I wish you luck on her time off for your mental health excursions, because trust me- I know how helpful they are

I just got a room and a ticket for June 17 in Asheville. Haven't been to the Salvage station, looking forward to a post-Jubilee pre summer show

The meyer sound at Legend Valley is top notch. Glad you are coming!

I feel lucky that Lexington KY has a good music scene for a town this small. Caught Brandon Bowlds & Friends last night and it was wonderful music. Brandon Bowlds, Guitar Dino English, drums Rob Barnes, Bass Brad Slutskin, Keys ~I~ Cantaloupe Island Yamar Floating Worlds Pretzel Logic Time To Move On Wash and Fold Done Being Sad Horn Contusion Tin Can Trust ~II~ Peaches En Regalia 🍑 > Freeway Jam Peg Spanish Castle Magic You Never Give Me Your Money> I’ve Got A Feeling Race To Vengal Harder They Come The Squirming Coil

Was in NYC over the weekend and saw Miles Davis bassist Marcus Miller play the last show of his residency at the Blue Note Jazz club. He had old Miles Davis band mate Mike Stern sit in on guitar. It was incredible!

Saw Bob Weir for the first time since 2016 last night. Excellent show! I was overjoyed at hearing Silvio again

You have my attention

Came to Nashville for Sierra Ferrell NYE show at Brooklyn Bowl. Great weekend, great show, happy New Year!

Barraco played keys for both Gov Mule and Phil & Friends. It was the “pseudo- Quintet”, Molo on drums, Barraco on keys, Warren, Phil, and John Scofield. whole xmas jam show and production was amazing. Scott Metzger did acoustic mini sets with his wife Katie Jacoby on fiddle to open and between some of the acts. Dinosaur Jr crushed their 30 minute set. Govt Mule, Tyler Childers, and Phil’s sets were back to back just as good as good can be. Music started at 7:00 pm and continued until 2:20 am

Phil Lesh & Friends, Xmas Jam, 12/10/2022 Midnight Hour Masons Children Brown Eyed Women Shakedown Street I am the Walrus Morning Dew Eyes of the World So What Help on the Way Slipknot Terrapin Station Box of Rain I think every song probably segued into the next song - awesome show- best Phil & band performance I’ve seen in 10 years

Christmas jam in just one week. For Phils band, Barraco is now the keyboardist instead of Medeski- which I’ll gladly take. Anyone else here going?

I saw them play this set list at the Taft in Cinci I think in 2017

Going to Christmas Jam 12/10 to see Dinosaur Jr, Phil & Friends, Tyler Childers, Govt Mule, Hiss Golden Messenger...going to be a good time
