Unfortunately looks like I'll be missing them in Boston. Dang.

Wow. I'm in for the pre-order.

I got a shipping notice email from the Grateful Dead Store.

I saw that too. Don't remember if I saw it on FB or Instagram. Very cryptic, but must mean a live release from some BBC performance is imminent.

Pearl Jam. First time for me.

Huge bummer for all the fans who traveled from far and wide, and those who spent tons of $$ to rent RV's. Always good to listen to Billy Breathes. There was a recent podcase celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of BB, they had Trey on the phone for about an hour talking about it. Great stuff.

Excellent show, and I got to buy a re-release vinyl of Alone Together. We wore out the grooves to our original colored vinyl back in the high school days. I've seen Dave about 7-8 times over the last 5 years, it's always a good show. Physically he's old and creaky, he walks with an awkward old man limp, but give him a guitar and mike and his guitar playing and vocals haven't lost a thing. Remarkable. I thought Cropper has lost something off his guitar fastball, but his playing had his unmistakable sound, and it was great to hear his songs in the set, all those Booker T and Otis Redding and Bl

There was, but surprisingly not with Cropper and Mason. The way the show works is that the band comes out sans Cropper and Mason and does about a half hour of an opening set. During that set they did Change. The female vocalist in Dave's band is quite good and really let it rip.

Dave Mason and Steve Cropper

Same. Saw Beck in Boston last month, he finished his main set after 1 hour and 10 minutes. You have to be kidding me. You don't deserve an encore after playing for 70 minutes. There was no curfew issue, he finished his encore set by 10:40 at a venue with an 11:00 curfew.

I was in high school in the early-mid '70's and started in with the Dead, Allmans, New Riders, Hot Tuna, etc., and then Phish, Warren, etc, so I come from a place where my favorite bands always had completely different shows every night. The goal is always to see as many shows on consecutive nights as possible as there would likely be no repeats. So I'm not one for the pre-fabricated shows, some of which have the same banter, every night. I do see those shows but would never go multiple nights. And not to say I don't enjoy the big shows/big tours, but knowing there's a lack of spontaneity does

23 years ago today. Damn it always hurts.

Thanks for the report. I've been wondering, what did the Nels and Warren set consist of?

Not a bad song to start with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ryJB-FF_Jg I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? New sensations barely interest me for another day I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand On the tenth floor, down the backstairs into no man's land Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow What means to you, what means to me and w

Wondering if Oldham did any of the Dead songs he recorded for the Day of the Dead compilation? He's on there with Bird Song and Reuben and Cherise and I think one more.

As soon as I told my wife she said we'll go and see Wilco on Friday and head to VT after the show. One of the many reasons we'll be celebrating our 35th this year

Oh no. I will be missing SS for the first time. My friend's daughter is getting married in Vermont that weekend. Oh well. Sent from my LG-H931 using Tapatalk

I have an opposite take. Just speaking from personal preference, and knowing little to nothing about Dwight Yoakum, I wanted to see (and assumed based on the billing) Lucinda close. She was my headliner. And the headliner for many others, as there were many previously filled empty seats by the time Yoakum came on. I'd never seen him before and wasn't familiar with his music, but they are a good group and I loved the outfits! The sound mix was horrible for that set (see review below). I love Lucinda and love this current band, which has now been together for a good amount of time. She was the

I'm not dropping $500 for the Bakers Dozen, as much as I'd like to. I'm sure the remasters will sound awesome. But also too rich for my blood. That's a lot of freaking money.

I just noticed it's $500. Yikes.

Done. Now I'm going to grab the Baker's Dozen box. Expensive day for me.

Shit, I'd better order mine!
