I'm just curious where folks are coming from. Personally I'm not that into Trey or John Mayer.

IMHO, TLEO was one of the worst songs of the set. That fucking falsetto bullshit was uncalled for.

You are right. After all the hoopla surrounding the Fare Thee Well tour to come back out as Dead & Co. this fall has made me a little bitter (not that I've seen either live). It's not a Trey vs Mayer thing, it's more about seemingly trying to cash in. That and Bobby wearing pajamas on stage.Quote:

One hell of a first show right there. I've had a pic for years w/Phil and Bob singing on the same mic during Stephen that was taken by a friend (I wasn't there sadly).Quote:

Some sleeper shows in 93 for sure but after that, I don't think there is any question Phish was the better show night after night. Saw more than my fair share of both but no question I listen to the Dead 10x more than I do Phish nowadays. That said, jam on is great way to get a quick fix on some of the more recent shows since I haven't seen them in a few years.
In recent years (2003 on), UM is my live band of choice, those guys bring it every night and very, very rarely have an off night.
Der, I jerry sound.Quote:

UM kills it, they know how to seriously create energy in a crowd and it's always a good time. been listening to them a lot lately.
Saw the band again last night. Feel free to reminisce and split hairs about what you think you know and your valuable opinions. I'll be enjoying great songs played by killer musicians.
I've been to GD shows that were horrendous. You'll never get a night like that from this band.
I know "deadheads" that have not seen one member play in any of their bands since before 95. Our group of friends never stopped. Not going to see Phil because jerry isnt there? Suit yourself.
We had a great time and on the way home were listening to Passaic 77 and I looked at my wife and she had that kind of peaceful smile on her face. I asked her if she was thinking about Jer. She said she was. We love and miss him, but still danc and sing (quietly) and go on with our lives.
There were no less than a dozen people I went to school with there. More if you count high school.
It's going to be a tough ticket. The venue last night was packed.
amazing how fast this is progressing. there were tickets everywhere on opening night in Albany. And less than two weeks later they sell out a good size venue on a Tuesday night!
yes, I realize that the GD had a major stronghold in New England, but still, this is impressive. My broken toe was the only thing keeping me away last night. I hope they go big with this, spring and summer tour!
Fenway!
Get your ears on a terrapin from last night. Best one I've seen in years.
Getting fired up for 11/17. is there much of a parking lot scene like in the "old" days (old in quotation marks as i only go back to the early 80s) ?
there was a bumping, mini Shakedown in Albany, got offered 'doses', by a kid who looked and dressed like Spaulding from Caddyshack.Quote:

My DCU no bathroom plan worked great. Tequila and mushrooms kept me from standing in any of those lines.
Uncle Johns was great, the nod to Allen Touissant with Get Out Of My Lifr was cool. Wish they had opened that one up a bit more, they kind of shoved it into gdtrfb
Solid Terrapin
Umm.. There called clam diggers!Quote:

Lady with the guy next to me must have been saving her thoughts up all day to share at the show. Spent lots of time with my hands cupped over my ears.Quote:

stanley jordan huh. Phil just has it going on so much. I've probably said it here before, but a buddy commented that seeing Furthur was like taking a sunday drive and Phil's bands are like driving in the indy 500.
we were joking that weekend, 'i'll see your John Mayer and raise you a Stanley Jordan'
It's all good, the heads that stopped going because Jerry died are just depriving themselves of hearing the music we love performed live by great musicians.

Damn. Now THAT is hot. Those guys play fluid, deep, and wavy jams with plenty of interplay and improvisation.Quote:

And he does it with a different pick up team all the time. Check out the shows from last weekend, old school.
Would love to go to terrapin crossroads for a home stand
Go!
It's fun. Saw Phil with Graham and Jeff Chimenti and crew a few months back. Phil is killing it.
Listened to 11/6-7 shows today. That lineup rips.
DSO ripped it up at the wellmont last night with the 3/10/81 msg show, monster setlist, from the rapid opening licks of half step you knew it was a high speed Coke show! Seems like this garden theme is really working for me right now. Tarrytown later this month.
Dance party baby!
^^nice! Got a two fer DSO week coming up. Boston and Portland.
Thoroughly enjoyed the dance party in Atlanta last night. Head hurts today! Hand't been to anything but a DSO show since The Dead in 2007 or so. Tons of fun! St. Stephen, Uncle John's, Franklins, lots of boxes checked. Good Times!
DSO in Boston tonight. Show #2500 for them which is incredible. They crushed it as per. Huge Morning Dew
Saw Dead & Co last night in Minneapolis. Really, really fun. Seen a bunch of iterations over the years (Phil, Furthur, Ratdog, DSO, Russo) and this was the closest to the "real" thing (and honestly far better than many of the mid-80s and early 90 shows I saw).Quote:

John M certainly did his homework though! While his solos haven't intrigued me his lead while not soloing has been really fun. Oteil is the real deal.Quote:
