These guys brought the goods here. BM proved once again to be one of the best DSO experiences of the year. So much love and joy shared amongst so many friends and likeminded strangers. So great to see so many of my loved ones. We will be back next year. Maybe bring the kids.

There was a Little Red Rooster tucked in there... first set...after H>S>F? I set a personal record last night. Three seperate strangers came up to me while I was dancing and brought me a cup of water. None of them were dosed either... (the drinks, not the strangers) Thanks, helpfull people.

Well well well. A night that begins with HSF is full of promise and tonight was not a disappointment. The bass was rumbling and all the heart cylinders pumping. The band went ahead and slid on into a SLINKY Red Rooster like an alligator sliding down the river embankment. Slide guitar had just that twang and groove - and Barraco finish it up with the Brent response. Sweet broken arrow... shot and miss ...such humanity and plainly frank. A nice cool breeze in the set. Cumberland kicked it and the ride began. Passenger let me release my inner tap dancer with a great piano solo, and Expressway rocked in out. I could’ve been happy there. Then a cowboy twofer kept the crowd hopping. But we are in song deep and ending with cowboy songs a weird option. Rubin and Cerise was a dream closer. Loveliness. I almost don’t know how to express my joy sometimes but it comes through in the dance. I love my tribe. :)) You make me so very happy. I’m so glad you came into my life. Fun second course! And I am so glad Alligator came out to play!! He was in solitary last night under the plastic on stage. Nobody took him home Friday to cuddle and he was out on the town tonight! Viola was funky as hell and got super fast just like we like it and ended in a completely new and original way, ha!!. And.... guys Baby Blue... 💕♥️⚡️💙 Thanks band! Always a treat. Thanks crew! ....What about Kenny? This ain’t a South Park episode. I saw his cute lady. Hear all is better. Thanks for finishing up tour here- 💯🤙🏼.

Night was fun. Great set list. Casey Jones was a hit for sure. I danced as hard as they played. Last show at Dewey for me, I got a 71. The birdsong was not what i was used too. Only because i am not well schooled in GD eras as most of you. I am learning though. Becoming more aware mentally then just the raw rhythm and b es st that makes my body move. The band slowed down after sing me back home. It's not a slight towards dso, they play as we dance. I judge the music on how it makes me move. If dead, and in a coffin, dso played at me funeral, I would jolt through that death to the music played. The whole show rocked, but you could feel the down beat after sing me back home. It was not the same. The music hit the band, as it hit a friend, she balled her eyes out during merl haggard, and then danced the rest with a man described as Ill , but so happy to be with us all. I am proud she gave a dance to someone who needed it. I hope we all do this for others. I shake my bum for those who can't get it, but the point.....share yourselves as you share yourselves with the music. So many people want to dance, let loose. When I mean dance, I dont mean head Bob, I mean, dont care....dance like you do naked and the house is empty. The blinds closed. The biggest gift we can offer is to offer safety and comfort. To be the laughable, so others dont look so laughable. To qualify, laughable when it makes us move is not funny, its smiles. Its knowing your energy is passed on to others. To be so ridiculous that others who care about being ridiculous, have a higher bar set. To be the extreme, only to shift the measure so ridiculous is normal. Thank God b&c removed the back bar. It sucked. But now it's gone!!! Thanks DSO for the memories, the people, the travel, and the insight. To give back a strength of being who you are rather then what others want you to be. You give that to me. You make me feel like superman. My glasses removed, my suit off, my chest out. It takes music to be a fool, but to do it as a man. The confidence in that is priceless, and again, you shared it with me this night.

Both shows were chock full of moments where we all seemed to just levitate together. The band managed to expertly communicate feelings of joy, wickedness, beauty, solemn truth, peace, love, doubt, strength, loss, and inspiration! Really, really great fun! The people - wow, the people! Put these things together and you’ve got heaven on earth The best of times ❤️

Dewey is ripe with gawkers and despite my efforts, I felt myself being recorded during the second night. I will not curtail my dancing enjoyment of this fantastically performed music. Praise DSO.

So Ed, what is it again that you actually do for a living? Who's sleeping with Sunny? Is that a blood splatter on the wall? Do these shorts make my ass look fat?

Does Uber run out here? Where can we get muscle milk and sushi? We need to eat dinner by 4pm? What time is check-in? What time is check-out? What is the actual showtime? Is there Re-Entry? Where is the smoking section? Does the venue have a coat-check? Where's my ticket?

I think Rude post was sarcastic tongue in cheek. I rarely hear these guys talk about saving the world. More like finding the nearest strip joint.

This must be true because when me and my buddies are on tour, all we talk about in the hotel rooms is how sad suffering in other countries is and how we want to make a difference. That’s why we like the dead. We cry all night thinking about sad stuff. That’s just the type of people we are. Ne’er a bad word about anything or anyone. You would think we were the salt of the earth if you listened in when our close group communicates. Salt of the earth.
