A leak! Did this list come from Snowden?

Longest- 177 miles from home in Needham MA to Cap Theatre in Portchester Shortest-about 12 miles from home to numerous Boston shows

Interesting, I say that 1990 MSG run was a historically great run. One of the last, but still a killer run for me. With second set of 9-20-90 being a pinnacle set. Boston 1991 another historically great run, maybe the last great run.

That entire show...

Have you not heard the second set of that 1990 Branford show (the Nassau one)? It's a highlight show, for sure. Starting right off the bat with the Eyes opener. Really a spectacular show. The nadir of the band? For me, '93-95 clearly. Never a fan of Vince, but at least in '90-'91 we had Hornsby playing piano. After he left Vince alone and Garcia falling apart in front of our eyes....was very sad to behold. I'm expecting Trey to be singing a lot of the Jerry tunes.

Inclusion of the 9-18-87 MSG show, and the pre-release of the Morning Dew from that show, speaks well of this box! One of my all time favorite second sets. A very good soundboard has circulated for years, and not a video of that show is up on YouTube. I'm not going to buy the box, I have no room for all those discs, but I think its great they're doing this.

Good clip from Australian tv embedded in this article. Funny that she's more well known in Europe and USA than in Australia (I find that hard to believe). http://www.stereogum.com/1805368/australia-discovers-courtney-barnett/video/

Not at Lockn'. Well, the only painful decision there is do I stay for the rest of this 2:00 a.m. show or go back and sleep? But until the late nights, there are no overlapping shows. What a relief. At Solid Sound, Saturday always presents some decision challenges between the comedy theater and the music. My wife plants herself inside the theater for all the comedy. I usually come and go. This year I particularly want to see Jessica Williams, but if she's on opposite Richard Thompson, I will be outside hearing music.

Has a daily set time schedule been released? I don't think so and can't find it, but just checking. I would have thought Real Estate would play before Wilco on Friday night, but that last email announcing the acoustic show has them playing after Wilco. Wondering what time Wilco will hit the stage Friday. I'm figuring an 8:00 slot. Anyone here have the details?

The sound system at SS has always been crystal clear. Perfect from my vantage point each time, regardless of the weather. I have no doubt it will be again for the Friday show. I was sitting in the mezz at a Portchester show and had no difficulty hearing the encore songs.

Looks like Saturday is just about sold out (only 250 tix left according to a sponsored post on FB). I wonder how many that means. However many, I know it won't be like the first year. Hope it's not more than '13.

I don't think this sentiment applies to Ryan Adams. Seems to me his interest in the Dead is legit. Didn't he put out an album widely seen to be an American Beauty offspring?

Glad to see them mixing it up. Looking forward to this set.

At the first SS, the gate to Joe's Field was not open all day. That may have been the case for SS 2 also, I don't recall. At the last SS the field was open all day as I recall.

As for the Strand shows, I can't point to specific shows, other than to say Steppin Out, which is culled from I think 7 UK shows during this tour, is freaking fantastic. So if you're looking for more single shows, I'd track down whichever shows the NFA>Bo Diddley>NFA, adn Rockin Pneumonia and Dark Star>Sugar Mag are from and get those. Not to say you shouldn't get any of the other shows represented on this set, get em all!

A monster bass player

Just finished watching the Weir documentary. Loved it, a "must watch" in my book. The guy went and created the reality of his dreams. The director does a nice job shining the light on Weir as really the most unique second guitar player. Could watch his guitar playing all the time, especially those '72-74 China/Riders.

Thanks for the review Tim. You going today also? I'd love to see Jason Isbell, but can't make it. Too bad, this likely means he otherwise won't be in the area for a while.

I've never been but it looks to me like it has to be the worst place ever to hold an all day and night music festival. My office is in a tower next door, and to look out on that plaza of concrete and brick makes me wonder how people can spend all that time standing on their feet there. I won't do it.

good song, I could listen to more of that

Another in a long line of Tinnitus Photography bands I've never heard of!
