  1. do I care about the setlist? yes, and I agree that the internet has spoiled many surprises that happen at shows-But I am truly sorry if a band has NEVER surprised you with a song or a new interpretation at its show, even if you knew 99% of the set. Pearl Jam does it often. do I know which bands/artists mix up the set lists and those that play the same set every night? yes Do I hope for a past rarity instead of a new tune? yes Do I have a good time no matter what songs are played? yes, I just love live music.
  2. same here the opening sequence is insane after seeing some of the vids, I am starting to get the bug
  3. my first show 4/18/82 earthquake space I was like WTF was that
  4. 82 is one of my favorite years for dead shows
  5. Bridge School Line up: Saturday 10/23 Buffalo Springfield Pearl Jam Elvis Costello Merle Haggard / Kris Kristofferson Lucinda Williams Billy Idol Jackson Browne and David Lindley Modest Mouse Grizzly Bear Sunday 10/24: Buffalo Springfield Pearl Jam T-Bone Burnett's Speaking Clock Revue featuring Elton John, Leon Russell, Elvis Costello, Ralph Stanley, Neko Case and Jeff Bridges Merle Haggard / Kris Kristofferson Modest Mouse Grizzly Bear
  6. I really like the garcia studio records I received the all good things box set as a present-lots of gems in there Dead studio? I still listen to "skeletons in the closet" (best of), terrapin and mars hotel once in awhile
  7. perhaps aerosmith needs to consider the ticket prices in this economy
  8. Voices For Justice Robinson Center Music Hall Little Rock, Arkansas 8/28/10 Opening speeches from Rev. Thompson Murray, Capi Peck from Arkansas Take Action Video from Damien Echols Eddie Vedder: Rise It Rains On Me (Tom Waits) Lisa Blount: Mercedes Benz Greeting from Lorri Davis Bill Carter and Will Sexton: Something Made Of Paper Video from Henry Rollins Johnny Depp reading from Damien Echols' journal Eddie Vedder: The Times They Are A Changin' (Bob Dylan) Open All Night (Bruce Springsteen) Fistful Of Mercy: Fistful Of Mercy Restore Me My Father's Son Natalie Maines: Death
  9. saw the rhythm devils last night-very fun show knew nothing about them and went on a whim good time
  10. D'OH now thats a brain fart if there ever was one!
  11. I never referred to them as a cover band. And you are right about the JGB without Jerry-it is weird. Seeing JK sing mountain dew at a festie was just weird-Hard to explain, but Furthur just gets less interesting each time-like I said, I always have a fun seeing bobby and phil, but musically, it just doesnt grab me-it feels hollow. Seeing Melvin and Stu in a bar is more musically satisfying if that makes any sense. And for the record, I enjoyed the dead tour in 09-even though I am not a warren fan.
  12. sorry you are right she brings out the worst in me its not about the film so much as it is the greediness
  13. well heck, I can have a good time at just about any show-and I get your point-and thats what happened with me at coney island-the atmosphere, the people I was with and the SONGS-made it a grate evening cant say the same about the nokia or outside lands shows but hey, justin bieber could be playing red rocks and it would be fun! Safe travels and enjoy!
  14. Deborah you......... and whats the problem GDP? The guy is a real filmmaker. Damn, now they wont endorse any artistic expression regarding the old man-perhaps ther eis more to the story. how about waiting until you see it and then asking for a reasonable royalty. and skip all the JGB stuff so Ms koons gets S***!!!
  15. yeah the band did not plan anything for the 20th anniversary of its first gig the bridge thing is just a coincidence-truthfully but they are planning something for next year crashious-the hoodie dude-has been working on a hoodie that incorporates designs from the first real tour-which was in 1991 there will be something next year-probably the same as the last couple of years-three weeks in the US, three weeks in another part of the world but its encouraging that they are trying to sneak into the studio with all the other stuff going on EV should have some time on his hands to write some
  16. http://www.jgbband.com/blog/ melvin and the ladies from the JGB still tour small venues Ive seen them twice in the past two years, and its a great, low key, heap of fun. Ive heard that the Donna shows with the zen tricksters are also grate-but I have never seen them. Yeah, something is not right with furthur. Its weird. Maybe its because (rumor has it) Jill Lesh writes the setlists. Maybe its because the whole JK thing is odd. I had a grate time at one of the shows, walked out of two of them-which Ive never done before. I really liked the 09 dead with warren-despite the outrageous prices.
  17. just got back from a couple of weeks in SF saw furthur at the outside lands festie-and as much as I hate to say it it was not good-fourth time seeing them and by far the least satisfying maybe it was because they followed MMJ maybe it was because I expected more in golden gate park-they setting was perfect maybe its because I dont want to hear JK sing morning dew-travesty! maybe its because the song selection was so poor for a festie (although they did a smokin let it grow) great to see bobby and phil in golden gate park-but Im done with furthur Id rather go see the JGB with stu allen in a sma
  18. I wanted to go to this event so bad but no way Im trekking out to spend the weekend in NA Ma without a bit more great concept-I LOVE the idea of a wilco fest but the musical end of the spectrum (in terms of content and volume) was just a bit weak IMHO
  19. thats what I mean by self indulgent Neil always plays what he wants to play-and he always plays a large chunk of new tunes-not the songs he knows the crowds want to hear-and they generally do not play enz tunes Im not complaining-they put on a fantastic show-but id love to hear more of the deeper cuts from woodface (there goes god or italian plastic for example). They did play hole in the river from the first record. Precisely. Well said.
  20. saw them on monday at the bowery ballroom and it was fantastic the new record sounded really good self indulgent set as usual, but enough "hits" to keep you interested 25 songs, almost three hours Neil is always fantastic live highlight was a funked up "chocolate cake" and a beautiful "fall at your feet"
  21. Well Futhur was better than I expected. They sound pretty good, the got a little lost in the latter part of the second set-but over all a solid show nightmare outside that coney island venue surreal hearing and seeing the band with the cyclone, wonder wheel, the old parachute jump and the ocean in the background good time 6/26 MCU park, brooklyn, NY Set 1: 1. Chinacat Sunflower> 2. I Know You Rider 3. Black Throated Wind 4. Mully Gully> 5. High Time 6. Loose Lucy 7. Throwing Stones 8. One More Saturday Night Set 2: 1. Shakedown Street 2. Caution> 3. Jam> 4. Jack Straw 5. Play
  22. I know-the guy is very talented-I dont think he struggled last fall but agree he was trying to emulate Jerry way too much-which was kinda weird for me. But I am looking forward to hearing them play again. I dont over analyze these shows, I just go and have a good time-should be a beautiful summer evening. Last nights set looks good on paper Rochester 6/25 Set 1: 1. Not Fade Away 2. Here Comes Sunshine 3. Feel Like A Stranger 4. Truckin 5. Feelin Alright (?) 6. Strawberry Fields Forever 7. Cosmic Charlie Set 2: 1. Viola Lee Blues> 2. Bertha> 3. Viola Lee Blues> 4. Cumberland Blues
  23. good question one of the great innovators lucky enough to have seen him up close in 83 top ten show no question
  24. well Im going to catch furthur tomorrow and the alphabet soup after party (rumor has it we may see Chimenti and Weir there) we shall see perhaps I might enjoy JK more when Im just hanging back in a baseball stadium and listening to the music and not seeing a jerry clone up close should be a nice evening anyway!
