I thought the last record was fantastic In fact I need to listen to it, its been awhile. Always loved seeing the posies live. This is good news.

Ive seen many many good shows at the centrum-lots of grateful dead I remember when it first opened.

truthfully I did not know much about the clash beyond combat rock and london calling at the time. A buddy's older brother took us. I was 16 and used a fake ID to get in. Yes, this was with the "new" line up. Not sure why they played such a small place, but I do remember it being the most packed and craziest floor I have ever experienced. I also got in trouble for coming home so late-he he. According to wiki, this show was part of a self-financed tour-could also explain the smaller venues. http://homepage.mac.com/blackmarketclash/Bands/Clash/recordings/1984/84-04-25%20Hartford/84-04-25%20Ha

Long long time ago (1984) I saw the clash at the agora ballroom in Hartford, CT-800 people Smallest Wilco show-the chance show in poughkeepsie-700 people Arctic monkeys-mercury lounge nyc-250 people Bob weir and ratdog-ridgefield playhouse, CT-500 people Ive seen the posies a few times at maxwells in hoboken NJ-200 people Joe jackson and Neil finn (separately) bowery ballrooom nyc-550 people thats all I can remember at the moment

a bunch more than 10 less than 20 radio city and tanglewood are my two favorites

Im digging it. But I am not happy that they are playing radio city instead of a smaller venue, and no philly gig!

aside from the Berkley run, oxford maine shows in 1988 were pretty darn good-Jerry sounded good that summer!

yes great live band

I will bring the stealth jaiger

he he Well it might start out that way. But the place will be rocking by the end!

had a feeling you might ask that after I saw that you are bringing the kidlets Im 6'1" But hey we can work it out!

scroll down to the orch layout center orch section you are 10th row on the right aisle actually you are right behind me Im row E seat 211 I got a single (I will be there for business and just decided to grab a ticket)

awesome, just awesome great venues and reasonable ticket prices cant ask for more

that remains to be seen but they certainly appear to be doing it in Europe-which is fine by me I dont begrudge pj for playing festivals when they do things like the four nights at the spectrum but the ticket prices-thats where PJ is disappointing me. anyway, I hope SG does tour and that they play some cool, medium sized venues at semi-reasonable prices

well this could be a good thing as SG was a great band but if they just go out and play festivals in a money grab, I want no part of it. If they are content to play their music in medium sized venues at reasonable prices, then I am fully on board. AS far as RNR HOF goes, SG has a long way to go.

Source: totally unverified ratdog board chatter. Never checked out the devils. I liked the recent P&F lineup with Jackie-but did not really care for the past line ups. For the most part, I have found something good in all of the post GD bands. Just something about JK trying too hard to emulate JG rubs me the wrong way. Its like they just watched Mark Wahlberg in Rockstar and the light went on. DSO is a fun night out, it is what it is-but seeing him onstage with Bobby and Phil, I dunno, its almost creepy.

Phil and Booby wanted "the dead" to continue touring. Rumor has it Billy refused and Mickey kinda said, "well if hes not coming neither am I" and that phil and bobby have committed to playing together for the next couple of years. Warren and Jackie do their own thing, so they scrapped this band together. It is kinda cheesy. I wish ratdog would bring back Wasserman. Seeing RD in small venues and doing their own thing was awesome. Once Robin signed on and they started playing more and more Jerry tunes, RD lost an edge IMHO.

nah as I understand it, it is a carvin made custom for JK

I went to opening night at the hammerstein. Not bad, but not good either. Jay actually plays mostly percussion and its actually one of the better parts of the show. Fake Jerry playing fake wolf? Well Im not loving it although his playing does sound a lot like JG.

they are playing Ace at the ratdog daze in negril Jackie green has also signed on to do a few shows they are having trouble selling the packages and just offered a discount everyone says its a blast, and the shows are intimate I see ratdog often. They are hit or miss. But every now and then you catch a really good one. Kinda like another band.

I loved Kimock with Ratdog and wish he was sitting in with furthur. And I enjoyed Warren in the spring-it was better than I thought it would be. Im not big on them trying to recreate the GD sound, but prefer when RD or PF create new interpretations of the songs I loved when Wasserman was in RD and they were playing small clubs-that was my favorite post GD group.

yeah I got a ticket outside the venue last night for $70, a bit steep, but less than "the dead" phil and bob sound grate together, chimenti is fantastic and the two drummers really groove-this band sounds really good and it will get better as they play more but the fake Jerry thing is just a little weird

Furthur 2009-12-08 Hammerstein Ballroom New York, NY Set 1: (8:25-9:29) Jam > Truckin' > Dire Wolf (JK) Doin' That Rag (JK) Ramble On Rose (BW&JK) Reuben & Cerise > (JK) Looks Like Rain Cosmic Charlie Set 2: King Solomans Marbles Hes Gone New Potato Caboose The Other One Days Between Scarlet Begonias> Fire On The Mountain Cold Rain and Snow Donor Rap Encore: Touch of Grey they sounded pretty good, good band and I really like the percussion but having John K from DSO up there was a little weird, almost creepy he is decent enough, but he emulates Jerry just a bit to

yeah they just started playing no way on this mini tour for the first time in many many years-I was lucky to catch it at the 10/28 show in philly brain of J does get played a few times each tour the ACL broadcast was pretty good eds voice was shot and the mix was funky-Mike was loud and Stone was very low in the mix but still a decent show-red mosquito with Ben Harper was great

for me, no question its REM I agree that the BBs were not played on "college" radio-but pauls boutique was huge at my school in 89-90 you could also add the cure to the list
