The other Nashville lol I’m not there, but my woman is… I think they’re in the midst of 4/21/69 Boston DD

Thanks fellas. Love you guys, also unable to “like” a post Peace DD

Yooooo! PHX successfully opened 2026 up right! Set 1 had CRS, Mama Tried, Big Boss Man, FOTD (fast), Bobby McGee, Bird Song (strong), a RIPPING Jack Straw, Hurts Me Too that was my favorite version ever by any band that Lisa fucking slayed. Round and Round was appropriate, i.e. “the place was packed” lol The Van Buren is a relatively nice venue, but they need a bigger venue for PHX. The security checks and entry process took abnormally and excessively long, and the overcrowded scene was a bummer for many. (My crew had a hookup at the venue so I was not adversely impacted, but still…) So while the first set with just Rob on drums and the set list had all heads (get it?) on an early show — 1970-ish, set 2 opened with Weather Report. So we knew we had an elective set because LIG never opened a second set with that first set composition (Mama Tried in two slot, BBM, Bobby McGee, etc.). China Doll was lovely. St. Steve Not Fade GDTR Not Fade was smoking. Raucous and rowdy shit. One More Saturday Night on a tour-opening Thursday was a fun surprise. Got to say hi to Rob B after the show (yo Rob), mentioned that the last time we chatted was at the Mousetrap in Indy for Skeleton Crewe, so we got a kick out of that. And he was with some people I know. Small world, great vibes The band and the quality of play, plus the sound last night should have everyone super stoked for when you see them soon. Loved seeing everyone happy and healthy. Thanks for the shoutout, AC DD

Awful news. peace be with Rude and all of his loved ones

I was also there, neat show. Hyryder in Indy April 4 and 5, should be rocking.

Wtf, Tea, I’m MIA for a bit and now my thread’s no good? 😂

AZ proud to fire it up once again. New venue (praise Baby Jesus for the Van Buren, the Marquee was super aggressive with hipsters and heads ffs). Hoping for China/Rider, don’t care what era (beggars and choosers and all that). LFG!!

Happy Birthday, Brother! 🥳 DD

well in this thread, it’s Brent’s final show 😔

Summer Tour 1988 opener First VOTC to close the first set 6/17/88

What a wonderful lineup! Sam Grisman Project is special stuff.

Um, wow. Did all four. Thought I’d invite any questions about Sphere, particularly for those going to Dead & Company. Happy to share anything I can. It’s the best-sounding venue I’ve ever experienced. Then of course the immersive environment and visuals added to that: unbelievable. The band was up to the task, they were stellar shows. DD

I’m just impressed at this accurate and straightforward presentation of the setlist with zero edits 😝 thanks, found

Too many for me to count this evening; affirmative, many.

One guess only! 😝 What does Bobby have them play N1, set 1 opener? I’ll say Not Fade Away. Anyone going to that show? Chuck?

This is elective if that’s what you mean, RD.

There are no seats in the pit area of the Greek; the latter.

Yeah, I’m in this thread for sure. Heart sank when forum fell… Thank you and love to all involved. DD

TOOL 😈

Beginning to look like me trying to recall Tempe

Is Fire Alarm a cover? 😜

Two nights ago — Sam Grisman Project at the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale. Outstanding, check ‘em out!

East Coast bias 😝 I thought this would be like Hermosa or Redondo Beach haha

Althea and Sugaree come to mind for me… Dark Star but that’s an acquired taste 🤩
