One of my favorites from that tour,  "I need a script"

[Billy DeLyon]

DSO kicked some major butt on Day One at the Fred Morgan Kirby Center.  Loved how the first set closed with LLR, Scarlet>Fire.  Was a pretty quick Drums, went up towards the bathroom then heard them kick into The Other One and pulled a quick U-turn.  Lots of great jamming.  Don't recall seeing a Strange Man before.  They set the stage for an epic 2nd nite for sure

That is quite the interest '77 set list. It's like they played some of the second set in the first set. 😄

I'm not here to bury Caesar, I'm here to praise him.

 

The first night of Wilkes Barre has unfortunately turned into the ugly stepchild of the weekend.

And I get it because of the utter unreal stupendousness of Saturday night from start to finish.

 

HOWEVER, the first set Friday night, a re-creation from Spring  '77, was one of the finest first sets I've evah had the pleasure of seeing, Grateful, DSO, or otherwise.

 

Any 11-song first set that begins with Music Never Stopped (which I never saw as a show opener), and closes with Scarlet/Fire (which I never saw as a first-set closer), is really one for the books.

And I mean that literally.

I could be wrong but I believe this show was the only time ever that that combo happened that way. So that is pretty remarkable. And we just saw it.

 

I mean does does it even matter what came inbetween?

But if what came between is, oh I don't know, Friend Of The Devil, Brown Eyed, Ramble, and a completely gorgeous Looks Like Rain, and I do mean GORGEOUS, well buster, you've got yourself one heck of a set.

That's a keeper.

Not to mention that 1st set contained the Jack-A-Roe bust out.... ah, to go back in time and be on the Spring '77 tour!
