The show was solid. I'm not sure how Warren and various city symphonies practice for these shows but the CO symphony and Warren (plus drums, bass, etc.) were tight as could be. Jeff Sipe (Leftover Salmon, ARU, et al.) was on drums at the fromt of the satge and was a HUGE onus/contributor to the vibe. Warren on "Tiger' was cool but, and this isn't really a gripe, just a noticing, he didn't have/use much of the "tones" Garcia used to get out of it. It didn't really jump out as "Tiger!!" to me. Different guitarist, different styles/preferences, of course. Some of the tunes seemed a little rus

The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration w/Warren Haynes (and Melvin Seals 3rd set) at Red Rocks. Melvin, Ray White (Frank Zappa guitarist for a good turn), and some local talent for free in City Park last night.

Didn't Eddie only share the vocals on "Hunger Strike" (and maybe some backing vocals on a couple others)? Doubt he'd show up just for one tune....(even if it IS the best tune on the album).

Ridiculous 1st set last night from Bill Graham Civic Aud. Seek it out if you missed out..... Also, Fishman and Page (AND Joe Russo on drums), as well, along with Infamous Stringdusters make up of P&F 1st night Lockn.. CRB are the friends night 2..

When Alice felt unwanted after Mike and Carol married and said she was leaving.

Great, thanks.

Awesome photo! Do you mind if I share it with a pal or two through personal text?

Weir! No doubt....

Weir sat in with Sir Paul tonight. Wild.

Apparently, Rob Wasserman has passed on. Dang.

Sweet!

Excellent, glad you appreciate him. A buddy from VA, who used to own a bookstore in Roanoke, turned me on to him after he met him as a customer, and found out he was a "local" writer. They became friends and I believe Martin even included him as a very minor character in one of his books. I've yet to read his most recent one, The Jezebel Remedy but look forward to it.

Yeah, that was pretty cool.

Great American String Band (short-lived) with Garcia on Banjo, Grisman, Taj Mahal on bass, a couple others....: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lp0e4AWCCs

Caught Leo Kottke/Keller Williams last night. Mellowest concert ever....

Joe Russo's Almost Dead

Nice. My favorite.

With a BASF, you most certainly will eventually need the pen.

Nice. They've been selling out everywhere. Wanted to see him/them at Red Rocks but sold out quickly....

Headed to TXR next weekend. Never been. Should be a hoot on Sunday.

Listened to it a couple weeks ago. Lots of very good tracks.... Here's a really good track: http://richrobinson.net/news/426666/premier-of-the-first-single-from-flux And another: http://www.hennemusic.com/2016/06/black-crowes-rich-robinson-streams.html

Ah, didn't make that show but what a wonderful show! That 1st set often gets overlooked, for obvious reasons, but is very solid. I love the Jack Straw-> Bertha opener and the Masterpiece and Birdsong are top-notch.

I can't access the link from work but now I'm wonder what spring '90 show....

My good pal flew out from CO for the shows and just posted his "vid" of this from that night and it sounds great!

Hmmm. Jane's Addiction's "Ripple" (possibly the best GD cover ever, imo) is nothing like a straightforward take on an original. A Reggae take on "Estimated" (not necessarily a huge leap, but still), the Dr. John New Orleans-style "Deal," etc.
