Seriously DSO blows the doors off of DeadCo, it’s like not even close. Nostalgic money grab and nothing more. Glad to see them calling it quits.

I'm working three DSO shows next week, I'll report back. But honestly Mayer is a way better guitar player than Jerry in a bunch of ways based on what I saw last night.
Just read up on last night’s show, that looked fuckin awesome.
Bummed to miss it, but at least I’m surfing.Quote:

That said I’m not a fan of John Mayer. Except when he jams the big guy’s tunes in a way no one else has been able to.
Oteil is just freaking fun to watch jam. Brings a smile to my face to watch him having a blast up there.
I’ll be ordering another show for sure. They are playing well.
Which would be a scathing slam if Jerry hadn't played them like shit for years, and then threw it all away with drugs. I assume you don't play guitar?Quote:

I’ve been enjoying all the people on social media gushing over Chementi this tour like he’s wearing the white jersey for best young rider. Dude has been balling on the scene since ‘97 with Ratdog.

Speaking of, what's the young drummer's story?
Ratdog, Furthur, Wolf Bros, Primus, Golden Gate Wingmen, Weir/Wasserman, he and Chimenti are old running matesQuote:

The way he just kept pushing Bobby back in this Throwing Stones is so freaking good.

Maybe ‘more precise’ (technically) is more what I mean. As I stated before, though, Jerry had that ‘Big Fat Soul’ that Mayer can’t touch. I actually wasn’t a fan of Trey in that role, he always felt like he was timid, (possibly a little nervous?) and still learning the material. However, if Trey had done 30 or 50 more shows, I am sure it would have clicked a bit more. Even Trey said as much.Quote:

Saw the Sunday show at Fenway. I was pretty hyped they played the early version of 'They Love Each Other' which my wife and I insisted be played at our wedding.
I'm a pretty big John Mayer fan in general, but there are few people (maybe no one) who could slide into a roll like that and pull it off like he has. Talk about expectations.
Jay was with Rat Dog when they first became a trio with Wasserman and Weir. He's been around long enough to take the seat behind the kit. He was also with Primus.Quote:
