Yea, for me and the wife it was after Pig died. Had to stop touring for a while after that.Quote:

Can you trip balls there? Is it all wharf rats and their grandkids??Quote:

I would have given you the soul nod, MMP, but now that you're on NTN it's an even battle!
Each ticket came with a mouth guard so I think you're supposed to roll on Molly in thereQuote:

For me D&C and JM in particular, just don't peak my interest enough to go out of my way (Boston) for a show at this point, but I definitely will keep the door open.Quote:

It definitely was hit or miss at times during the period but the addition of Bruce energized and challenged the band, especially Jerry, musically to go outside their comfort zone. Check out some of the rotating pre-drums/space 3 man jams that became a regular thing and the instrumental dueling in the middle of many songs (Althea, TN Jed, even some of the cowboy tunes) between Garcia and Bruce, some incredible playing that had the whole band truly on their toes and listening to each other intently.
Have a safe holiday weekend all!
Wasserman died. Bummer.
Tough loss. He was great fun to watch and listen too.Quote:

So I've made a point to listen to a bunch of recent Dead and Co shows and I'm still just not that into it. I couldn't finish the Bonnaroo show I was listening to yesterday on the road. A few great riffs here and there, but mostly so so. Just seems sorta slow and clunky to me. Transitions aren't fluid, they seem forced to me. I'm really not into John Mayer. Not worth my time and money.
Trying to recapture/ relive the past is virtually imposossible. The Dead have such a legacy it's hard not to constantly be comparing what is to what once was, but that's not gonna help. The Dead ain't The Dead anymore, The Who haven't been The Who for ever, The Stones, Waters and Gilmour, Neil, I'm sure there are lots of newer bands that have changed out a player and people will always say "it's not the same man". Heck, you aren't even you anymore.
I've been to plenty of shows where I thought it was great and then I'll run in to someone that was there and they thought it was just ok or even sucked (and vice versa). Who's right?
Gotta keep your ears open to the good stuff. Sometimes it does, but different doesn't always have to suck.
Now, Get Off My Lawn!
Same. And I really want to like them.Quote:

Nice to see that guitar.
If you have recordings of that show I want them.
Listening to the Boulder stream on the ride home from Dylan last night: go for the drumming. Still incredible.
Saw Dylan at red rocks last week--old man sounded very good. The anti-phone police were out in force and it was refreshing to experience a no phones crowd. Nice that he's taking a stand.Quote:

Bobs band is fantastic. Sonic elegance. Standards show. Bob showed swagger.
Agree about the Dead. Fun time and high quality (non Jerry) experience.
Fun start. Tonight should be good!
That was fun, and JM has some serious guitar chops.
Weird that they played mostly Jerry songs.
Got them today! Thank you very much!Quote:

The peaks were incredible. Mistakes were expected. This group has it. JM is doing his own thing and the more freedom the core 3 give him and Oteil and JC the better the music will become. I hope this group sticks as long as everyone can play and tour.
theres some extras floating around for Fenway Friday. 2 next to me and the mrs in the grandstands $75 each
^ahh, if I didn't have tics I would have grabbed the two next to you.
I'm in field bx 80 fri and stands 11 on Sat. I thought we had bought a field seat for one day.
Debating on vape or oney. The vape just stays hot for so long. Maybe I'll just roll a few...although this isn't Simsbury, but it is a dead show, right?
Multiple doobs.
I like to smoke em down to a good size roach, and send them off into the crowd.
I know, but it's Boston. I've always been low key stealthy with the kind. Getting tossed is never a good thing and I've seen it happen too often on east side. Although, the overall tolerance has certainly come a long way...with most.Quote:

D. All the above.
And that is my final answer.
