How was the show? Where did they play?

Also agree, those 2 voices work really well together.

Watching the webcast of tonight's Phil and Friends show with Nels. Fantastic second set. Russo totally rules.

I will say this, Joe Russo is an awesome drummer

Been watching the second set tonight. Nels all the way through. I think this is great. Doing Help > Slip right now.

That thought never occurred to me. Heaven forbid. I had bought my tickets and booked my trip before Wilco was even announced, but I would be hugely disappointed if this morphed into something other than Wilco playing 2 days at Lockn.

Got home too late to do the webcast. Listened to the end of Box on the ustream. Did Nels play in the first set?

Wtf is up with Exene?? I've been a fan forever, but this is so out of whack. Another instance where its best not to know too much about your musical hero's politics, but I can't separate the 2.

I'm planning on doing the webcast tomorrow, I will report back. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

I agree. As much of a Jerry fan as I am, and as much as he meant to the entire GD gestalt, the bottom line for me is the songbook. I love the songs and the music. There's absolutely no reason these songs should die with Jerry. I don't get that at all. I'm really happy to go out and hear a night of well played GD music. I saw Warren and the Boston Pops last week, fantastic. Furthur and Phil and Friends qualify as well played GD music for me. I also don't get the JK bashing, but to each their own. I think his playing and singing fits right in with the GD music. I'd rather hear him sing J

Can't say I've seen any, but I suspect it will be more dependent on the particular venue. Given the extent of technical upgrades invested in the Cap, I suspect these will be quite good. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

ok, must have just been me. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

A day late with this, but I saw Dave Mason's Traffic Jam last night. Fun show, great collection of songs, and his guitar playing is still fantastic.

Agree, I love this album. I don't think it takes a back seat to anything in their catalogue. And those 2 songs are my highlights as well, particularly Primer Coat, which could be the single best new song I've heard all year. Thee lyrics and that story get me in the gut, and then that guitar hook on top of those lyrics. Exactly what good rock n roll is supposed to do. They played both when I saw them in Boston.

Looking forward to that webcast.

I don't know about that link, I clicked on it and my computer blew up. Maybe it was just me (but I've got a brand new computer), but be careful.

A free show at LL Bean? I'll be on vacation with the family, two summers ago I left vacation to catch Wilco at MassMoCA and Hartford, but I think I'll have to miss this one. Too bad. Wonder how many people they will let in for this?

Europe '72 show coming to a theater (hopefully) near you: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121723/Grateful-Dead-Europe-1972-Performance-Coming-To-Theaters

"Not to mention" indeed (cough) (cougn) (cough)!!! And let's just mention Jack and Jorma, TTB, Bustle in Your Hedgerow. All over it and I don't live anywhere near Virginia, unless you consider Boston near Arrington VA. So get on it Mr. Heartbreak! Petty is the least of the attractions for me.

I am new to the DBT over the last several months ( found my way to them after listening to Southeastern) so I don't have years of experience with them although I do have most of the catalogue now, I think the new album is excellent. I don't know what their fan base thinks, but I love it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Another good installment of Stormy Mondays on Jambase. Looks like they're going to do a multi-series retrospective of GD 1974, here's the first installment to download. Love these Stormy Monday compilations. Fall '73, Mile High in '73, http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121706/Stormy-Mondays-Grateful-Dead-1974-Retrospective-Part-1

The Fox Theater is truly Fabulous! I was in St. Louis from '75-79, not early enough to catch the Dead shows there, but I saw a number of shows before they closed it down before I graduated: Springsteen and Little Feat come to mind right away. A sister theater of the Atlanta Fox. So glad to hear it's up and running with music, they must have spent a lot of $$ to restore it I assume.

Good score on the ticket! I've been meaning to post this somewhere, I watched Isbell's JazzFest set on AXS TV, it was fantastic.

I'd be worried but for the fact Wilco's announced for Lockn' in September. So I take comfort that there will be Wilco in '14. all the members are taking lots of time to do their own things, glad to see that Tweedy will be releasing new music. It's the son in the band thing that weirds me out a little. Phil Lesh has done the same, I've never heard of anyone raving about that configuration of his band. Bottom line is new Tweedy songs should be a good thing.
