They’ve been doing electives since I stared seeing them in ‘01, and probably before that. An elder Starhead may be able to confirm. Bueller? Anniversary recreations have usually been the exception rather than the the norm. The good news is that in recent years (like the course of this decade) they have become more frequent. The bad news is that Terrapin Nation seems to have faded away. It all has evened out, I suppose.

Home brew~ Jack Straw Sittin' On Top Of The World It's All Over Now West LA Fade Away CC Rider Positively 4th Street Just A Little Light Mama Tried Bird Song The Music Never Stopped Shakedown Street Crazy Fingers Unbroken Chain Playin' In The Band > Drums > Space King Solomon's Marbles Hey Jude > Playin' Reprise Attics Of My Life Around And Around E: Day Tripper Before returning, Shakedown broke into the jam they do in the early 70s Greatest Stories which was super cool. (If this one has a name, someone let me know.) Chad Wackerman sat in on drums for at least Playin' and Drums, possibly more. Attics had Jeff, Eaton, and Lisa singing. The first HOB I've been to that wasn't awful - It sounded great and had plenty of room and places to dance.

Link To Jambase... definitely astral traveling for this couch show.

I think we should start a movement to call for Terrapin Nation to be booked for an afternoon set at the Jubilee. Peace and Love, Doc

I had a great time last night. Venue was perfect for the size of crowd - plenty of space all around. Much more open floor than the old HOB. Show was pure fire and fun. Awesome elective set list with one great song choice after another. Jack Straw hit those big notes hard and you knew they were on. Always love to hear 4th street and they seem to play it with just enough frequency. I missed hearing Little Light from the G.Dead and other than a Phil show in 1999 I think this may have been my first. Love the song and they put some awesome slightly spacey touches on it. I was ready for some jamming and Bird Song hit the spot. Big OtherOne-ish jam in there, but most BirdSongs have it. Shakedown got the 2nd set off to a groovy start. I heard that same 70s theme jam as mention above I don't think it was 'tighten up' (from 70s Dancin') but could be... The rest of predrums had plenty of space for jamming and dancing. Post drums while not as mesmerizing as earlier parts still was great and the song choices again were superb. Played right up to the midnight curfew. This show was everything I wanted and needed and MORE. Another superb mid-week OC show Can't wait for Saban and San Diego!

Newbie here. I was at the Friday night show and I wish I'd have gone to Saturday too. What's not to like about a 77 show. I was surprised by their Friday night setlist. I figured they'd be playing setlists from the 2/16 & 2/17/82 shows. Last time I saw them was sf in 2015 at which time I think we're still playing setlist from same date in history. When did they start the elective setlists? Anyway, Friday setlist was pretty cool. I don't recall I've ever heard help>slip>stranger before. The slip>stranger was a very creative tease. In slipknot, Franklin's was ever so gradually emerging into focus when whammo! Full on stranger. I laughed in delight. Otoh, I've never been able to acquire a taste for the Brent songs, try as I have. Good excuse for a bathroom break. I like Brent in the mix of dead songs a lot however. Second sets for me tend to be the face melters. This second set was just that until tangled and Quinn. Maybe some day tangled, Quinn, or Brent songs will hit just right and I'll be forever hooked. I've only seen DSO twice, but the way they do space is just amazing. Most of the second set was a seamless jam. Wow! I'm getting chills as I write this. Anyway, I'm rambling. All in all a very creative and unpredictable setlist. Great time. On to Phil lesh and friends tomorrow night at txr. Yeah!
