Just got home from Steely Dead - They were really great. I don't know what I expected going in, but it was certainly exceeded. Some really excellent transitions - What they're doing resonates with my own sensibilities in a way I like and appreciate. My first time seeing A-Bear and I was quite impressed. Go see these guys. Truckin' > Black Friday ; Scarlet Begonias > Dirty Work ~ Here Comes Sunshine ; Night By Night ~ Loser ; Josie > The Other One > Josie ;; Shakedown Street > Kid Charlemagne > Shakedown Street ; Green Earrings ~ Samson And Delilah ; Deal > Reelin' In The Years > Deal ;;

Here to confirm that it was in fact awesome. My two favorite bands, melted into one. A bear, two keyboards, drums, bass. Homeboy from the lodge sat in on Sax but no one touring with them- surprising as horns are a big part of Steely Dan.

One I really want to see is Pink Talking Fish.

Which song is that? No, it's a random inside joke that no one here is inside of. Suffice to say that my hilarious and Brilliant friend was once talking, while under the influence of Lady L, about the nature of DNA and finished his diatribe by yelling "double helix!" While spinning and recreating the double helix. It was a 'had to be there's moment, one that will never be created again. Sakada was there, maybe he's lurking around the forums and can attest to the brilliance of the moment. All really good but I loved Green Earrings and the transition from Deal>reelin in the years was top notch. Way to go A-bear.

I saw DSO at Summerfest July 2003 the headliners in the big amphitheatre the night I went on July 1, 2003 was: The Dead - with Rob Barraco on keys and then Willie Nelson solid ...

Would love to get back to the Minneapolis Zoo - Been a while. And I'm pulling for more than 4 in Colorado - Maybe Dillon again, that would be siiick.

Seeing Twiddle tonight at Meow Wolf. A blur when I saw them last at the final Vibes, with so many bands back to back. Think I liked them a lot.
