On the setlist link from the website there is a search engine which will allow you to see what was played last time at any venue. The last two shows have been outdoor shows. The last was 3-6-76 JGB. Before that was a two drummer elective... then yes two 73’. ... 6-29-73 and before that 2-26-73. But that was in 2015 and 2014 respectively which was four and five years ago. A tight is a tight stage and with all the equipment that needs to get on stage, there are only so many options.

In the late 80’s this red plaid went around our area. That was some interplanetary shit. God bless the fool who ate 2.

Is this to solve for taking purple microdot v. Bart Simpsons or something else? 🤯😜

theCause w/ Jeff Mattson and Lisa Mackey 3/23/19 Rex Theater Pittsburgh, PA Acoustic w/Randy Bauman on keys Dire Wolf Bird Song Monkey and The Engineer Rosalie McFall Cassidy To Lay Me Down On The Road Again Ripple Electric 1 Iko Sugaree Big River ? Country song sung by bass player Black-Throated Wind China Cat > Love The One Your With > I Know You Rider Might As Well Electric 2 w/ Randy Bauman on keys (most/all?) Shakedown Saint Etta James song (Don't Make Me Cry?) Lazy Lightning > Supplication ? Jeff Original ? theCause Original > Bertha White Rabbit With A Little Help From My Friends (w/ several guest singers) Jeff on everything. Lisa on 3/4 of it all. GREAT night. Some transitions to/from the jams within songs were a little iffy, but the raw power of it all more than made up for it. Lots of spirited play. The whole acoustic set was sublime, especially Rosalie and To Lay Me Down. Beautiful harmony between Lisa and Jill. Crazy surprise between China and Rider. Awesome Shakedown, and whatever that Etta James song was was just KILLED by Jill. Might have been my favorite tune of the night. Anyone know the Jeff original? It kinda reminded me of a Trey Anastasio composition, which is not a criticism lol just an observation theCause's original was a catchy tune as well. 15 "anymore's" to end the Bertha. White Rabbit. I've heard it a few times now, but I think this was THE one. Brought. The. House. Down. The people near me not familiar with Lisa were blown away. I was like, she's always like this! LOL No, the Rabbit was a really REALLY good Rabbit. Help From My Friends was played and even sung in that Joe Cocker at Woodstock-ish way, and was the perfect end to a great night. See you all there next year!!!!

And thanks Dino for taking on the role of show choices for each town for the tours now... Big thanks to Eaton for doing for so many years... That ain't no easy chess board to figure out and must take many hours of head scratching to get it honed in!

Before Florida happens and it all rolls into one, I just wanted to express somewhere: There has never been a best as best as this. I've done 10 full tours with this band now, and this last one stands out in general as the best yet overall. The toppest knotch playing (next level, unreal, unfair), the perfect clarity and presence of each musical voice, the afterparties, the places, the people.. West coast is magic. And it's funny how people all along the way would ask what the best show had been thus far - And it had honestly all been so wonderful I had no clear obvious answer. Until the very last night that is - Tour ended with an unexpected punch - The Saban show was a real gem. (Which Jubilee do you think we'll get the remaining '83 RR show at?) East coast gets too much love. East coast tours take everything I have to just keep going [I still for the life of me can't figure out why anyone lives east of Denver...] - I get home and need days to recover. The west however is totally rejuvenating - I returned from this one fully recharged and ready to take on the world.. West coast is magic. Highly recommend to anyone here who has never experienced what I'm talking about to someday make a pilgrimage to the promised land for some shows. Love you all so much - Thank you for everything. Praise DSO! P.S. Legit considering bringing a full on winter coat to FL...
