The missus and I did the Friday Billy Strings show in Louisville. we also did the BCE show at the Enchanted Forest in Indiana. Nice venue! Enjoyed my time, said hello to Too Much Fun

Yes, he did, if I remember correctly

I got Covid from the Jubilee and then passed it to my family, so that’s about as exciting as it’s been for me. Looking forward to more shows soon

Lisa sang on Jack Straw and Birdsong. Trapeze artist on stage during Birdsong. DSO was flying through uncharted birdsong jam territory while she improvised death-defying trapeze moves to their jams…

Also a Midnight moonlight I believe

It was a full two set show. But I can’t remember all the songs. I thought Mattson was playing above and beyond his normal abilities- he looked like he was having lots of fun

EDIT: Oops. I see you realized it was Scott. That's Scott Larned on the vocals. I saw my first DSO show Fall 2000. Didn't see another until 2012.

If we were there, why didn’t we cross paths and say hello? Let’s do this at the jubilee. Even if under the cover of darkness of the night

I really hated to miss this. How was attendance?

I’ve heard 1968 Grateful Dead jams that reminded me of Sonic Youth, and vice versa

I love Dinosaur Jr. They are nothing like the Grateful Dead but J Mascis plays bone shattering loud electric guitar. I was a big fan of them and Sonic Youth a couple of years before I listened to the Grateful Dead, around 1991. heres J Mascis covering Box of Rain:

Last time I was in Columbus early for the Jubilee I grabbed dinner and then got a decent nights sleep and did as Rude suggested and got their bright and early on the day of. There are museums in Columbus. There’s Buckeye lake also

By chance did you go to the indy show 6/30/84? One of the first tapes I got in trades in the mid 90's, and I loved that show

Here’s Viola Lee Blues from this little show with a nice buildup at the end:

I saw you but I hid under the guise of stealth as one does…

PS: I’m sad I missed We Can Run. Don’t think I’ve caught that one since 2012

I realized tonight I'm a little rusty in the DSO show department, I'm really out of practice. So I'm glad I attended! The sound was really good at key locations. The crowd was pretty good, which made me happy. I wasn't able to leave Lex until around 6, so I arrived just prior to Mississippi Half Step. It was polished with all the right notes and high points. I didn't realize it was halfway through the set until they played Johnny B. Good. Chimes of Freedom was close to perfection. The slipknot was where I finally was finding my groove and it was a great jam. Weirdly enough, the Feel Like a Stranger "may" have been the best ensemble playing of that song I've seen the band do. It was really strong. I really enjoyed the Sunshine through the rest of the set. The Sunshine gives me the grooves that I need, and the gentle jam as Sunshine dissipated into drums was what I come to the DSO shows for. The beam & drums were awesome, the jams & space were my bread & butter, and the Dear Mr. Fantasy rocking. They band with much precision eased a transition into Days Between instead of Hey Jude, and that may be the first one I've seen DSO do, so I felt lucky-it was well performed. The Satisfaction was a great rock song and the Black Muddy River sublime. I'm always curiously fearful of new venues, but this one was pretty decent, with one exception: the alcohol pricing. Yikes! Looking forward to the Jubilee!

If you are over 40 and have time for multiple friends, let alone actually have 10 friends, god bless you, you probably do have time to go on tour, and I’m your biggest fan so go ahead and post the setlists

The westies are sleeping on us.

Yeah, that sucks. I should have known he was almost 70. I actually first saw him play with “Melvin Seals and the JGB” in July 1999, at Legend Valley. There was a High Times music festival. He had Judah gold on guitar for his touring band at that point, and they had released a live record. https://www.amazon.com/Welcome-Our-World-Members-Only/dp/B00000676L Merl Saunders was also at that show. Keep healthy, Melvin
