Summer Teeth of course!

The Radiators, at Tipitina's Heading to New Orleans today for JazzFest. Other than Jason Isbell and Beck on Friday, don't know who I'll be seeing at the Fairgrounds during the day. But the nights are set: Radiators tonight Daze Between Band (Eric Krasno, Dave Schools, Duane Trucks, Marcus King) at the Howlin Wolf on Thursday Gov't Mule at the Saenger on Friday JRAD on Saturday and hopefully Sonny Landreth and Tab Benoit at the Rock n Bowl on Sunday (if I'm still standing)

“I’ve always wondered what a career ending show would be like. Here it is.” Such a fun night. Summerteeth and On and On and On. Well worth the trip in from Boston. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a hard time concluding what it the "best" anything. But R.E.M. is certainly in the discussion, and makes my list of "greatest" American bands. Which may be a list of only 2 or 3. I was a young lawyer working in downtown Boston when I first heard Radio Free Europe on the BC college radio station. Within a few days I went over to the Harvard Coop record store at 1 Federal Street (I was a frequent shopper there) and picked up Murmur. Still remember bringing it back to the office and another associate asked who they were and all I had to say was "Radio Free Europe" and he knew. I was hook

Dave's Picks Vol. 26 announced as Alburquerque, 11-17-71. Never heard it but I'll never complain about a late '71 show. Or any '71 show for that matter.

Ha! Hilarious! I grew up an Islanders fan. We lived in Merrick, about 15 minutes away from the brand new Coliseum. I was in jr. high when they started ('71-72 season?) and my dad and an uncle got seasons tickets. Years of lousy teams. I had moved to Boston in September '79, but was home in Merrick when they won that first cup in '80.

Being in the audience last night for my one and only show of this tour, I didn't experience any train wreck cringe worthy moments. Perhaps they were there and I just missed them while being immersed in the entirely fantastic gestalt of being inside the Wang. But if there were any last night, they couldn't have been too major to escape my notice. Then again, I was psyched for this show like I haven't been for a GD related show in years. As I was getting things in order at home to leave, my wife said to me "Boy you are psyched. I can just feel the energy molecules emanating from your body." I wa

I thought it was funny when Phil came out for the donor rap and started talking about being back in Boston, he said this isn't the Garden but it's a nice fun place to play just as much. As if he had no idea of all the fantastic Dead shows that went down in that building when it was the Boston Music Hall. Particularly those Nov/Dec '73 shows that became my favorite DIck's Pick.

Saw last night's Bob and Phil Duo show, with Larry and Theresa back for night 2. I thought the show was Fantastic! Pretty much a perfect show for me. What a great vibe to the music. Hard to pick out highlights in a show that blew me away the entire night, but Black Throated Wind (2nd song of the night), Mountains of the Moon>Rosemary>Mountains and Morning Dew definitely come to mind. Exceeded my expectations for sure. From the Boston Globe's review of the Wednesday show: "But Weir and Lesh demonstrated yet again that one of the greatest catalogs in American music stands up to interpretat

Hope you make it. I'm in left center orchestra, row K. Reddish shirt and skull and roses hat.

I haven't watched more than a song here or there, but several friends who have been at these shows have all been floored by Weir's acoustic guitar playing. I'll get to check it out first hand tonight.

Bob and Phil Duo show. I didn't go last night. I'd be happy to see Larry and Theresa play again tonight.
