Exactly my take when listening to the Sirius broadcast and the webcast of the final show. Musically, D&C sounded much better to my ears.

Thanks. Don't know anything about them.

Seeing MMJ at the Orpheum tomorrow. Have there been opening bands on this tour? The Orpheum site doesn't identify anyone else playing on the bill.

Damn, I didn't know they were playing. Never seen them, but I saw Rachel Price at Lockn' with Jack and Jorma in the Airplane set. An amazing voice, really incredible singer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

JRAD, definitely. I say that with such certainty, having never seen DSO. I have lots of friends who love 'em, and always encourage me to go, but something about the replication of GD shows always creeped me out. I don't even know if they still do that. Funny, I think Russo is an awesome drummer. He and Glenn are definitely my top 2 favorite rock drummers. I love the way they both play.

So, if D&C, DSO and JRAD were playing your town on the same night, who would you go see? I was going to include Phil in that quiz, but at least for me it depends on who's in his band on any given night, so I left him out. Of those 3, I know how I would answer.

Yes, just moved there last month. He and his girlfriend are 25. We were out to visit mid-October. Had only been to CO to ski, so loved being there in nice weather. We didn't want to leave. My goal is to now finally get to a show at Red Rocks. Starting today we are all celebrating wife's birthday in Austin. Landed this morning, never been.

Good move Mrs. Lammy! I know JRAD's coming to Denver, encouraging my son and girlfriend to go. Have you seen them? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The Boston Globe weighs in. http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2015/11/11/new-dead-dawns-with-good-company-worcester/wBsrNaMnwQf3GEIxgdoXlO/story.html?s_campaign=8315

Whether its worth $100 or some other $xx amount is a personal choice. I can't recommend you spend it, or not. I spent a little over $100 for a good seat in the lodge once I decided I wanted to go. But that's me, once I decide I want to go spending $125 for a single seat (I would think longer if this was a show my wife wanted to go to) isn't an issue. Also blew almost half a day of work to get out to Worcester in time. But bottom line for me is I had a great time (despite the sluggish mid-tempo of every first set song) and would go again if they were playing tonight. I think this is an exc

You got your Terrapin. A good one.

Last night in Worcester: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/127022/Dead-and-Company-Honors-Allen-Toussaint-In-Worcester

Had a fun time last night. Band sounds great, Mayer's playing is pretty much perfect in this setting to my ears. And Weir's playing better than he was 5 years ago. I think Mayer's raised the game of the entire band. Oteil and Cheminti excellent players, and the DRUMS are a huge factor. Last night's first set-execelletn song selection-could have used some variation in tempo- the entire set was played at that slowish mid-tempo. COuld have used some variation from song to song. Second set kicked butt-fantastic. Right from the Deal opener, into Uncle John's (where Mayer was doing his best

On the road, a music warrior. Thankful for the couple of times I got to see him at JazzFest.

That is fucking hilarious! That being said, I am super psyched for tonight's show!

Dead and Company

I bet that's real, or very close to 7:00 start. Figure this: first set 7:15 - 8:30. Long intermission, second set 9:30 - 11:00. Plan on 7:00 or very close to 7:00 start.

Watching the rebroadcast right now. I missed it last night. Set 2 just started.

Very well put. I didn't go to Chicago, but from what I Watched and listened to, this band sounds so much more focused and tighter. I had no intention of going to Worcester on a Tuesday night when this tour was announced, but I got myself a ticket and now I am super psyched. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And the Eyes>Playin is not too shabby

Got mine yesterday. Listening today. Halfway thru disc 2, into second set. Loving it, but then again I'm a sucker for '73 Dead, my single favorite year of their music. Going to leave disc 3 for a late night burn under the headphones. Like the Jerry bust in NJ story in McNally's liner notes. Never heard that one before. And at the end where he writes how Cutler called John Scher to bail him out. My daugter is good friends with Scher's daughter, and I grew up going to Scher produced shows in the NY/NJ area, so I get a big kick out of that. Sounds real good for the original 2track, excep

I hate going to the Centrum any time of year. Always traffic heading from Boston, and it's always packed inside trying to move around the perimeter promenade. I hate that Phish always plays there. And yes, I still call it the Centrum (just like I call the summer shed Great Woods whatever they call it now, and same with Harborlights). I can't keep up with all these name changes.

I just did the same on Monday. Looks too good to pass up. Got a single in section 124. Let me know what you end up doing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Based on what I've heard and reports I've read, I bought a Worcester ticket.

Dave's Picks 2016 subscription announced. I bought the subscription for the first time. DP 17 will be the Fresno July 19 '74 show, another '74 monster wall of sound show. http://www.dead.net/almanac?cmpid=dn/2015November3/AlmanacIsHere-main-image-1&eml=2015November3/2862202/6131962&etsubid=27625223
