    Had to look - 99 for me - the only time I ventured down to Deer Creek, Indiana to catch a show. It was a good one - Dreams was a stand out. When I saw them the next summer, Herring had already replaced Betts.

    Thanks for posting the setlist

    Noticed more Gregg songs than the later years of tours.

    Still miss Gregg, and know I always will miss seeing the ABB. So glad in retrospect that I went more that 20 times.

     

    Found this article that a few might have read, has some stories in it I had never read.. Old Before My Time..

    The first two are probably the best.

     

    Down to the Waterline is one of my favorite Dire Straits songs.

    Great song !

    Seen Mark Knopfler early 2000s and he was still rocking with a solid band.

    Got Brothers in Arms for the Encore,floated home.

    Saw him again a few years ago nice night but that 1st time was amazing.

    You don't know Mtn Jam bro?

    Lots of my friends that are ABB & GD also were unaware of Donovan's Lyrics or that there were lyrics ..

    Moving on Picked reasonable priced tkts Bob & Phil in Boston at what was once the Wang Theatre that Wilco has played prior.. Supposed to have some special guests ..

     

    Avoided the package 449 for two drinks and soundcheck

    Yeah - never saw a solo Betts show -- if he passes through Chicago - I may catch it. It has been a long, long while since I seen him play.

    Same here, saw him with ABB ( Just once ) a long time ago .. 98 I think ..

    Also would check him out if he passes through Boston.

    Read something about arthritis bothers him, but until last year he was playing local places in FLA where he lives.

    Already Great .. gave it a listen ..

    Initially, It does take me back to his more constructive 70's sound, then it goes awry.

    After starting bit of story telling filled with some good hooks, he incorporated A group of people saying words that were difficult to dechiper in one listen.

     

    More recently

    Another vote for Le Noise as a good song.

    Caught that tour and many others over the years.

    It's been an interesting ride in last 15 years seeing him LIVE. Hope he heads out again soon..

    Caught Dead and Company twice last week in Boston.

    Here's my .02 from Last Sunday Night

     

    Dead and Company - Boston N - 2

    Good Show Balanced setlist between Radio Classics from back in the 60s & 70s to deeper cuts.

    I need a Miracle Everyday was one of those GD AOR hits off Shakedown Street in the 70s that got huge reception.

    Dire Wolf one of Jerry's best songs imho, it was one of the deeper cuts and Mayer did a decent job covering it, and it was warmly received. Other standouts were Playing in the Band, Morning Dew and a singalong & energetic Casey Jones.

     

    Thankful that I saw the real deal of the original GD . But also thankful ive seem every incarnation since. Never have I had a bad night.

    This group has talent,gas in the tank,and plenty to drive it with. Here's hoping there are many more miles to go.Oteil is playing well and sings more than before, doing both well. Bob Weir is looking healthy again, and bringing renewed energy. I will continue to go along to their shows, and enjoy the ride.

    Anyone have a theory about why this current iteration of the GD has been so much more successful in terms of touring revenue than previous ones (such as The Other Ones, Furthur, or The Dead)?

    I was on the fence about John Mayer being a part of it.

    But after having seen a Worchester show 2 years ago I was a believer that this might work. I have since seen summer shows in CT, Fenway, and the two most recent Boston's .

    . The present incarnation delivers the most energized sand balanced Show since GD.

    Thankful that I saw the original. Nothing will come close to when they were on. I'm happy that they are committed to keeping this music alive by playing it live. Many of my friends feel the same. Reviews are often filled with the words this bamds on fire, sometimes they do lock in tightly on a jam, and get a well deserved hand for their efforts.

    Also I think the song selection is better and has some Radio hits evenly sprinkled to maintain the casual fan's interest.

    More than a footnote is Otiel's contribution he continues to expand his role by singing more and the fans at the show Love IT. I'm looking forward to seeing them again!
