Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 You will dig it! The Other One > Dark star sequence is very spacey. Maui Wowie, anyone? Apparently, I already have the Mason's Children, as they released it on the reissue of Workingman's. The rest will be new to me."It's mostly Maui Wowie but it's got a little Labrador in it.""Labrador?""Yeah, my dog ate my stash." Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 With apologies to jw harding -- I purchased the two webcasts at Fenway - out of the two nights, I think Passenger was the only clunker - Friday's Mayer's outfit was a bit funny - man, he can play. http://thoughtsonthedead.com/a-candid-photo-of-john-mayer/ Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Most enjoyable 2 nights in a row at Fenway I will spend until the fall ( fingers crossed )PIT for Fri and yes you could play checkers on John Mayers outfit on Friday ...Set lists were thankfully varies from Hartford and the people from different states and counties were great as well as the ushers ...

jw harding Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 With apologies to jw harding -- I purchased the two webcasts at Fenway - out of the two nights, I think Passenger was the only clunker - Friday's Mayer's outfit was a bit funny - man, he can play. http://thoughtsonthedead.com/a-candid-photo-of-john-mayer/Found a free stream and watched parts of it. Thought it was pretty painful. Mayer's playing is ok, too bluesy at times, music doesn't really go anywhere interesting or new though, but overall the guitar playing is fine. My main gripe is that since Jerry died, the band has tilted too heavily toward Weir - his cheese and melodrama is unchecked. Now with Mayer it's like Bob & Bob Weir Jr. The cheese is amped up so high it's painful. The way both of them sing Jerry tunes if fucking brutal, particularly the big ballads, which Bob has no feel for. The subtlety is gone. No one can emote the way Jerry could, and Bob and Mayer make that so obvious. Phil's voice is awful, but it least it sounds genuine. Some people like cheese, I do too, just in smaller doses. Oh, and Mickey Hart licked the beam, so fuck that guy. Turned it off and found this incredible footage of 2/14/70 to watch instead: https://youtu.be/gmPhb-tWgBg Why waste your time with Dead & Bro when there are incredible gems like that waiting to be uncovered?

The Inside of Outside Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Pitchfork and Jesse Jarnow's review of Dead & Co in Fenway. Seems about right to me: http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1233-coming-to-grips-with-dead-bro-john-mayer-and-the-improbable-live-rebirth-of-the-grateful-dead/That was well-written. I loved this line: "It’s hard to think of another tour this summer that’s as friendly to families as it is to psychedelic users. Besides national parks, there aren’t many institutions that serve both. But unlike members of the Grateful Dead, national parks don’t go on tour." Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Recently finished Jarnow's Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America - it was an interesting book, but Jarnow's writing bugged the hell out of me. At times, he wrote some dumb one-liner after each section/chapter - each sentence could have been cut and it would have been a much enjoyable read. Nice review though - Pitchfork covering a Dead show - who would of thought. Link to post Share on other sites
