My feet are sore just from reading that set list!

Sounds like those shows were reminiscent of a few years back when Eaton had to tend to personal business. We got about six Jerry band shows. That was some pretty good lemonade. I took a rookie to a Phil and friends show late nineties. One nitrous hit too many and this chick is bent over at the waist and running full speed, down a slight slope, into the door of a small sedan, Head first. That drew a crowd, put a damper on the evening. She was covered in scrapes. So, I can relate and feel for ya. Bummer.

Is China/jam/rider the feelin’ groovy jam? Or did they stretch it out another way.

What is…Tea bailed?

I agree with Found. The set list looks like a recreation, early eighties except maybe for Tom Thumb blues, not sure, until late in the show it must be an elective. Cool how DSO messes with us just like Grateful Dead did.

So, I’m confused. Is the monkey left handed or is the wrench for someone who is left handed?

Agree. I think the announcement might have something to do with the venue announcement. That’s a large geographic area to feed the needs of a lot of Deadheads. Gotta be more show announcements coming. Also, the second year at freeman stage seems to indicate that there’s no more Bottle and Cork. Damn, I’m gonna miss that uneven dance floor.

I’ve had my tickets for Selbeyville De for a while now. Go to freeman stage website. They’re available now.

I’m not sure who’s in charge of handing them out, but I do believe it’s high time someone gave Bill K his doctorate in Grateful Deadology.

Amazing set list. Was Barney there?

His future is as doomed as Will Smith’s, their stock value has tumbled.

I found it interesting that there aren’t any actual Brent tunes in the set list.

Work got in the way for me. Dance in my space.

So, I just had an interesting point of concern brought to my attention. How in the fuck are we going to get to the Anthem if this ‘people’s convoy’ is jamming up the roads around DC? I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer but anybody have any insight on this?

I love that set list. DSO beating the Grateful Dead at their own game. Lost sailor>Tangled up in blue is such a great idea. Visions of Johanna on the anniversary of my favorite Visions, 3/18/95.

It’s gotta fit the vibe of the sixties. Born in ‘61, I saw it from my older siblings. Basically, we have a better idea for the planet than what our parents and leaders who didn’t get shot are showing us. Peace, love, and flowers. Not necessarily in that order. As far as the story about listening to the radio on the limo ride to the show, I bet they were hoping the DJ would play some Dead. …sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own…

Gotta be the band, that tune fits with the type of tune the Dead covers. That was my first thought, which flows right into another thought I have had for decades. I think the tunes that the Grateful Dead cover have to fit, sound wise, lyrics and ‘theme’ also. That’s why you never hear them cover certain times and why some tunes just don’t hang around. Its gotta fit the overall vibe of a Dead show. Jerry Band ventured out with Shining Star but he made it his, changed it up. That’s why day job got dropped. I think the sound fits but the lyrics didn’t. I never cared for ‘I fought the Law’, didn’t think the band should be covering it. Just my opinion. How’s that for a conversation starter?

Your grandfather is a pip? So cool. Thanks, Northeast. Looks like a latter day set list except for never can tell and St. Stephen. See you at the Anthem.

Nice. Not too many rest stops on that journey.

What about one from the night before. Acoustic.

It is quite the compliment to Dark Star Orchestra to have Bobby join them on stage. It’s not like he’s doing that for other bands. It reminds me of the story when Dylan was playing the Warfield when his career was in a slump in the eighties. Ticket sales were down. Jerry joined him one night and the place was sold out. At Jerry’s funeral, Dylan told someone, can’t remember who, ‘he was there for me when no one else was.’

I mean, it is Bobby, come on, but yea, watch the crowd bobbing and weaving at the beginning of Shakedown and towards the end everyone is kinda standing around. Even Lisa looked a little lost. I couldn’t agree more with the earlier post about Bobby singing Jerry tunes. It’s just not right. I think he butchers them. Haven’t heard much though, don’t want to have to unremember them. Bobby should just retire. The torch has been passed.
