I had a great time dancing all night. I had some bad news earlier in the day, but I just danced those blues away. Thank you.

Warren Haynes and keyboardist Danny Lewis from Mule. Such a beautiful way to end a spectacular tour 😉

Harrisburg, XL Live??

Well that’s quite spectacular. Love the Roseland Theater. Good dancing space and sound.

Registering a yes vote on the Pride of Cucamonga sandwich. Last one I consumed had King Bee center. Praise DSO.

saw them in Nashville in a wide open pit in 2001/2002. Got free tix from the radio station I worked at. The 1st 20 feet of the pit was a violent thrashing bloody mess but right behind it was awesome. Tix were $25. Tix for this tour Nashville were $200-300 and said screw that. Shits stupid now.

my 2nd Dso show was an acoustic Bloomington IN show in 2013 and got one. It was the only accoustic show I’ve seen. The caverns accoustic were cancelled. I do remember DSO bantering with each other and with the crowd all show which I didn’t even know was rare at the time. Me and a buddy were the only ones standing up by the rail in the pit and Eaton tells everyone to move up front into the pit as everyone else was seated.

Bingo. Praise DSO.

The latest official release is both '85 Frost shows. Let me make two things clear off the bat - it's cool that rather than the more typical 3 CD single show release there's a 4th CD here and it's 2 shows. Also, I'm one of the weird freaks who thinks actually collecting this stuff on media you can touch, with photos and the like, is a worthy thing. That said... I'm fine with an encore at the end of a disc after a 1st set should that be the way to get material to fit on what's obviously antiquated media (CDs). And moreover I put all this on a hard drive where all is in its rightful order. But... 4/27/85 Frost features a 2nd set opening sequence of Scarlet -> Eyes -> GDTRFB. The Eyes into Goin' Down The Road is rare enough, happening only 2 other times. Both, I suppose unsurprisingly, were also in '85. But Scarlet Eyes is a one off, and the 3 song Jerry set 2 opener is, please pardon the pun, eye opening. 🤨 Lemieux produces these things, so it's all on him; Scarlet -> Eyes is presented at the end of the set 1 disc. Eyes winds down into an "oh man what a sequence" transition into GDTRFB. After allowing the listener to be teased with it and grasp the first few bars of GDTRFB, the disc fades and the set resumes on disc 2. YOU CAN'T DO THAT! NO, NO, NO! This isn't some unfortunate cassette flip we're talking about. Come on, man! OK, rant over, but it hit me hard enough to write this post. Don't worry though, I already knew I need help. 😳

TOOL 😈
