Meh. Hopefully they bring some more energy tonight.
Unfortunately no. We always offer our dog sitter the choice of staying in our house, she never takes us up on it. This weekend she decided she wanted to stay there, go figure.Quote:

Been following a friend on FB who has been following D&C all spring. She seems to be having a great time.
When the Fare Thee Well shows came out and I heard them it was pretty much "yeah, sorry I will remember the shows I went to and be good with that".
Watching some of Jesse's smartphone footy, the sets and music sounds pretty tight. It ain't the Grateful Dead but they don't pretend to be.
The ummmmmm D&C-heads??? that's another story. (Damn but people look stupid dancing in still photos)
That does sound sweet.Quote:

Fired up for lakewood tonight!
Always fun to go back to college for a few hours, regardless of the lineup!
Danno - sorry! Forgot to respond to you your Pm. Hotel worked great!Quote:

Chimenti's lead from Space into Days Between tonight WAS the Grateful Dead.
I like Bobby's take on Days more than Jerry's. Jerry was always mumble mouthing that tune. Bobby enunciates every word. Good stuff. I'm thinking about SPAC, anyone? Oh yeah, 1/2 Step from last night was killer.
Whatever. It's a cover band.
Nope. Sure isn't but I still dig it! I've come to realize, I don't want or need "it" to be the Grateful Dead. That part of the journey ended in '95.Quote:

SLC had me down. (Disclaimer- the company was superb as always. Thx Teleee. We will do it again! ) The band, from my perspective, was not good that night. Sets were uninspiring for me too. Didn't want to waste the miles on the car, time way from my family and a five day hall pass from my Wife to drive down the road.
Well, I was glad I did. I had a blast at the Boulder shows. We both left thinking this band has it. It ain't the Grateful Dead and it shouldn't be! It's nice to see the old boys play with passion again. Anyway, the music in Boulder gave a perma grin for two nights and certainly got me groovin'. Not the GD but that's ok by me.
They had a free stream of the ATL show last night. Probably still up. I was too wiped to watch. Sets looks great.
Edit: I watched/listened to the first set at ATL at the office this morning. Scarlet - shakedown was cool. Other than that, set one was just ok in my book. Probably a damn fine time there tho.
anybody going this weekend? Two shows at Fenway park :)
Only if my wife really wants to go. I'm not a fan of Fenway for a show and the scene truly sucks imo. I like the big tailgate experience and then flow into the show all stoked. Fenway is for baseballQuote:

FTW in Chicago rocked.Quote:

I can only imagine how much better they would be, if they carried on for the same time as D&C.
Phish with Bobby this past summer, was the shit.
I think you summed that up well.Quote:

I think a large part of what colored my opinion is that I am just not a Phish fan and never have been. Mayer is a fine guitarist and fits in well.
Perhaps if I had been in Chicago I might feel differently.
watching the Pittsburgh feed now, Easy Wind is totally in JM's wheelhouse.
I look forward to Dean's recaps every day now http://gratefuldean.com/smiles-miles...es-in-atlanta/
I watched the first tunes from last night as well. Easy Wind was the best of the three.Quote:

can't really disagree, but... really, nobody is going tonight?? DamnQuote:

Yeah a big part of Jerry's magic was the spaces in between the notes. I'm more of a John K fan, he might not shred like Mayer but he's got the soul for the soundQuote:

I will say in the few recent shows I have checked out that I've enjoyed Bob reeling in JM on some lackluster extended solos, really good to see him regaining the ability and desire to take the reigns when needed.
I've only heard recordings, like this one https://archive.org/details/plf2014-...cmc65xt.flac16Quote:

JM just keeps noodling around, too many notes in too small a space. I miss Jimmy Herring and Bobby together. I think Steve Kimock or Barry Sless would be so much better than Mayer.
Second set tonight was pretty damned good though after that high speed Dancin'.
He sounds good to me, and getting better every night. He's starting to play the quiet stuff really well. They killed it in the second set tonight. Will be at SPAC.
Definitely would like to get to see him more live but between Phil and Mars Hotel there are a good amount of shows on the web.Quote:

I've been seeing Zach for a few years now, he and Melvin were here in Portland, ME this Spring. He's got gameQuote:

Yeah, your are so much cooler than they are. You need to eat a dose or two. Crush your ego and whatnot. It's douchy guys like you that make Phish shows tiresome. I'll take the smiley, goofy teachers and their love of Sexy Jerry any day. Eat psychedelics, lose the ego.
Quit smoking mids.
Heady reply. Such a 3.0 Phish noob response. No one needs your ego killing the vibe at shows, guy. Will you ever be cool? Yeah, I think not.
Wait... Did you call him "Sexy Jerry"?
Yeah, ya like that? You can use it if you want.
Take a lap, ego-boy.
If it "ain't the dead and shouldn't be" maybe they should play tunes that aren't by the grateful dead? #coverband
