Bob Dylan and his Band. 

Psychedelic Furs with Royston Landon opener. 
homecourt show. 

Jeff played a very sweeeet Don’t Let Me Down in Brooklyn night 1.

Elvis in Philly!

A very fun night in a lovely new room. Jeff was engaging and feeding off the crowd response (despite yahoos).  Great set list, great vibe, great playing. Looking forward to tonight w/ son ( can’t miss him 6-5) and his girl. Will be extra special as we haven’t shared a room with Jeff (and the band) since the Beacon a number of years ago. Blessed/ can’t wait!

nice to see ya briefly after show, Paul. Really appreciate your reviews, too!

Jeff!!!

Awesome! Going tmrw but heading up to Brooklyn today to see if I can get a lucky ticket for tonight!

Seeing Georgia, Ira, and James tonight for first time since Sky Blue Sky. 
250 capacity 160 year old hall in area that is giving me serious “The Village” vibes. 

Random (non music) thoughts from dagwave:

transpo to resort was kinda long and dry. Prepare accordingly. Might have been bad time of day. Transpo to airport- great

- check in pain free

- don’t fail to be aggressive with room service - delicious and quick

- many walk up options throughout the day and night with easy bites as well as multiple serve yourself mini buffets ( pre COVID) 

- convenient bar locations and quick service. Multiple non- alcohol options too!

- size of resort great- big enough to get a little lost, close enough to any and all events moderate.

- background tunes throughout resort are always primo - it IS the Hard Rock

- solid dining options - probably good to reserve (never did) for the prime time appetites.

- kind, attentive, and friendly staff throughout- like Paul said bring lots of those beezlebub bucks.

- hope to excurt myself this time at least once.

- Clean, bug (biting bug) free experience - some interaction with very large lizard (like) reptiles and monkey (?) sightings. Really. I’m pretty sure.

Yes!!! Thanks, Paul. 

Has anyone checked on Paul since the Cubs ⚾️dismemberment??? Paul, breathe, just breathe.

I certainly hope this site's not dead because I prefer it over the social media groups. I was completely taken by surprise when I saw the announcement the other night. My little group of Solid Sounders lost the great house we had in 2019, but I understand that we procured lodging in Williamstown. I'm just excited that it's one month closer than I expected. 

Well said! By the way there’s a great downtown breakfast place right on the little downtown bridge. Fine lunch, dinner, and service. Stayed in Williamstown 2 Solids ago. Oh wait that’s Wilmington VT. Never mind…..

How was Billy K show, dagwave?

It was lovely and lively. Enjoyed w/ daughter- great vibe, super playing, great TEMPO. 
 

A lot of energy and smiles on stage. James Casey sang lead on one of 2 JGB songs. Saxophone and keyboards really filled the sound. Fine playing - hope a tour after respective summer commitments. 

String Cheese!

Billy and the Kids (w Billy strings)

first live music since SkyBlueSky!

Can’t Wait!
There were off site daily morning excursions/ tours subject to “reservations” and additional fees plus an event for Positive Legacy doing environmental clean up with Jeff. Should be announced later I’m thinking. 

Many non- alcoholic offerings from very skilled bartending crews across the resort.  Also saw a sign for recovery meetings on resort- Hard Rock should have info.

Pumped (more pumped) to see Ms. Mavis added to the fun!!!

Ditto!

Dang it, it seems I have too many friends with fear of commitment (for now....). Looks like I might be booking a room this week and finding a roomie later!
