Some shows are beyond description, this was one of them. My oh my. A wonderfully great recreation, incredible show and set list. Enjoyed the rotating perspective, like having a back stage pass or front row seat, very close to the band. Amazing music from DSO and great dancing vibe under the tent was great summertime fun for all of us lucky enough to be there. Sound system maybe not as good as other venues, not quite enough of Skip’s bass. That jam into truckin and the sequence that follows, I love how I could have heard Dead explorations like that from recordings, and then with DSO I get to actually experience it. A part of what made the Dead so unique during a classic era, and I get to see listen to it live still. As always, thank you DSO!!

First show since 2020 (pre COVID) and I wasn't sure what and how the band would deliver. So thrilled to say that they all rocked out with remarkable energy, joy and dedication to the music we all love. So glad DSO is still out there doing what they do, hope to see you all again soon!

It’s taken a few years but looks like things are getting back to normal. Pandemic baby changed our trajectory but still trying to get 15 a year which feels like nothing to us but to her coworkers it’s insanely excessive. She doesn’t tell them about the 26 month stretch with 9 flights, 100 Dso shows plus the jrad, deadco and 3 jazz fests in the mix. Sorta makes sense I got injured and never quite fully healed in that stretch. Fucking after party bands like 4 hours isn’t enough. Let’s see another dead band and dance 2 more hours. glad to see lots of you getting your fill last week and sounds like the band is on FIRE!!! And after the Woodstock bust out I’ve been playing CSN/Csny all morning. That band was a monster for 2 years. What if they got along.

Skip and I Trade off in first two verses and Lisa joins us for the whole third verse

Skip sung the other verses. The energy was unbelievable. There is a crater, smoldering, in Selbeyville, where they busted that tune out. I was front and center for the night. My knee cap is screaming at me this morning from stomping my foot to the beat, on that row of tiles they have running back to the mixing board. Apparently, I really needed a show. Just a really great, easy day that left me not dancing but just standing, watching it all unfold. This band is just so enjoyable. Their playing is mesmerizing. Jeff on Comes a Time was swimming deep. Never better. I lost control of my limbs while dancing to the jam in Dancin’ with some hippie chick I remember from a few years back. Afterwords, another girl standing there said, “you have some energy”. I said “I just worked a lot of shit out”. “I am cleansed!”. The sign of a successful show for me, I shake out the angst and recharge the batteries. Mission accomplished last night. Brought to tears twice, Comes a Time and Brokedown. Fitting lyrics for me. To end the show with “gotta get back to the garden” Christ, I’m a gardener. Woke up to rain on the roof, drove through rain to get there but things let off and the skies cleared for the show. Ran into a rainstorm on the ride home too. I went early and swung by the Nanticoke Indian museum in Millsboro on the way. They have a nice collection of artifacts to check out. Nice appetizer before the show. Perfect break from the daily grind, so appreciative for the entire band and everyone behind the scene. These people are dedicating their lives to us. Fortunately, they’re having just as much fun, getting just as much out of it. Thank You.

I did Lazy summer home this weekend. Highly recommend. Maybe same guy who owns the Trap owns this place? (I could be wrong) super cheap weekend. Not enough people to worry about bad bathroom conditions. Pool and shit. Reminds me of the black mountain KOA scenery wise. Cabins to rent but I reserved a car camp spot by a pond. Cool little Hyryder family owned place about 25 minutes from Deercreek. I literally stayed at a hotel off this same exit two weeks ago with Luke for phish. 2 weeks before that I did the ledges with Sammy and AC. Also this place is Right by the casino in Anderson and also near Uranus fudge factory. 🤣😆
