Well I can't think of a better alternative.

Not much of a whiskey drinker, but I do enjoy Knob Creek, if available. I drank too much Old Crow in college, kinda of ruined whiskey for me. Though I must admit, Old Crow isn't bad for a cheaper whiskey.

I only heard two shows: last week's Cornell show and a show from 12.13.09. The Cornell show did not sound too hot while the 12.13 show sounded great. Have you listened to any of the shows (Here is the Archive link that Lammycat provided earlier.) I guess I would go, at least you should have fun your friends, right?

Are you going to go? I wonder if John K. is going to be play Dark Star Orchestra, too.

It looks like they are going to release another Road Trip set, too. from Gans' site:

I think I remember reading that Weir refused to do an encore and they did it without him. I think it may have been in McNally's book.

The Taper's book gave it a very favorable review, also. All, except Drums, were considered highlights. Does Archive.org only pull soundboard copies of those shows that are or will be commercially available? I don't think a soundboard of this show has ever surfaced. (edit: I did see a soundboard on archive.)

Did you correct him/her and say "the socialists"?

It would be great for an official releases of Sunshine Daydream; the only bits of that movie I have seen are the one's on YouTube.

Here is an official link to that July 7, 1989 cd/dvd set that I mentioned earlier.

Yeah, that is why I like Rolling with the Stones better than Stone Alone. Rolling is more of scrap book type of book.

That was my first Stones' book I read. Quite the read as a eleven year old or so. I think it may be one of the books that altered my adolescence (for better or worse ). It is an entertaining read but full of b.s.. One of my favorites is Wyman's Rolling with the Stones (Amazon link) . Lot's of cool pictures from his archives and entries from his tour diaries.

They did, as well as Watts and Wood, participate in the According to the Rolling Stones book.

yep, same here. Enjoy the evening.

I think they are finally clicking in this second set with Unbroken Chain.

Missed that. This 2nd set is not starting off very well. The UJB was a bit of train wreck, never heard this second song before. Peaceful Vally????

I don't think it's too fair to play some of the 5.8.77 show between sets here on XM. Man, this Minglewood rocks.

The vocals or the guitar playing; or both? I think he's alright. I would say I would prefer him than Warren Haynes. I love Haynes, but he very hit or miss with the Dead.

I wish they would stop Good Lovin, it gets old quick.

Jeff C. on the piano playing on Sugaree is great, great solo.

Yeah there was a nice delay/echo on Weir's vocals at the end. And you are right about this being a hotter ticket. I am sure the venue has a lot to with that, at least with me it does.

I haven't bought a ticket, yet. I might try to find one before one of the shows. I came across this on another site yesterday, not sure how true it is. It isn't up on Dead.net yet. Haven't heard the above show before.

Some nice Weir banter after Jed, it's funny he said John isn't a big shot like Phil and him. Just got in during Tenn. Jed. Down at my mother in laws, not he most optimal place to listen to a Dead related show, oh well

Just noticed that Devin Hoff will be playing Elastic tonight. Shame, no chance of Cline sitting in. The quartet he will be playing with though are all great players.

Was that part of the show that aired the footage/peformances from the Deadicated cd (A Tribute to the Dead for the Rain Forest)? I always loved Lyle Lovett's version of Friend of the Devil and Susanne Vega's cover. Actually the whole cd is pretty good.
