Great for you roadhse. Ugh for me. I was invited to go down with one of my GD buddies, he had a connection for tickets, I couldn't make it for work reasons as I'm out several days starting tomorrow, turned out the seats were 2nd row center. He had a blast, everyone had a blast...I've seen several GD and post-GD shows in Hartford over the years (May '77 and Colt Park among the 2 most memorable -for completely different reasons), always a good take in Hartford. Glad you made it. I'm waiting on Fenway.

I always caught 5 of the 6 shows during those Boston Garden runs. Always skipped the first night. Yes, that Scarlet>Fire on 10/1 was a keeper. Was that the same year they did a killer Scarlet>Fire in MSG? My strongest memory of the 1994 Boston run was the Spanish Jam on 9/29. I hadn't heard a Spanish Jam live in so many years. I think I was the first on the floor to hear it coming and I literally jumped out of my seat. One of those GD moments.

Yes, this would have been a perfect SS weekend. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking forward to seeing them, and the new CK5 lighting rig Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I was going to go because you told me to, but I'm just too tired from 2 shows last week and a 7:30 meeting this morning.

The Keystone shows were from '72, right? That Live at Keystone album was always one of our favorites from the moment it came out. We wore out the grooves. The Keystone box is sweet. Never heard Biloxi

Did one of the three nights stand out for you?

Love what Hood has to say about this album and the times we're living through: "These are crazy times and we have made a record steeped in this moment of history that we’re all trying to live through. We’ve always considered ourselves a political band, even when that aspect seemed to be concealed by some type of narrative device i.e. dealing with issues of race by telling a story set in the time of George Wallace or class struggles by setting “Putting People of the Moon” in the age of Reagan. This time out, there are no such diversions as these songs are mostly set front and center in the c

Thanks for the heads up. I've got a lot of vouchers, both discount codes and free tickets. Each of the free ticket vouchers are for "free general admission" tickets. Is that what everyone else is seeing? I don't usually get GA tickets if seats are available.

Thanks for sharing. I suggest you share your story direct with the band on the Request A Song link for the show you will be seeing.

I agree about the tempo. Set 1 in Worcester, every song was at the exact same mid-tempo. Was more variety in the set. Pretty much why I think JRAD is the best take on the GD songbook.

Whenever I see this topic light up with a new post, my pulse quickens and I gasp for air and break out into a sweat! One of these days, I'll be rewarded with the announcement of SS '17.

Psyched for this one, it's been a long time.

The Cure

Well, the one Dead and Co. show I saw, in Worcester last year, I thought was excellent. Has me going back for more when they hit Fenway (and I'd vowed I would never see another concert in Fenway). I thought it was a really good take.

Seeing the show tomorrow. Listed as a 7:30 show. What time have they been coming on relative to show time? Any opener?

Wilco and Los Lobos, that's a dream bill for me. Jealous.

Working my way through the July '78 box. The St. Paul show, July 3, is pretty weak. I know there's better music ahead of me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't kick yourself too hard. I tried getting tix the minute they went on sale and could never get anything. I'm going to have to suck it up and pay more than I want, but I really want to see this tour.

As Mr. Tinnitus Photography put it in his Boston Calling review of Courtney's set: "Six strings and a cloud of dust." Pretty perfect right there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

"others" being Courtney Barnett, Jason Isbell, Gov't Mule, New Mastersounds...That's a bunch of "others" alright! Wish I was there. Have a blast R.Jam.
