They have recreated that date at State Theater with JK back in the day. It was a three show run that started with 85/10/31, then 11/1, then I believe elective. I have vivid memories of the joint just going berserk during the Gloria. Great show. Praise DSO.

The Big RR again a highlight, the final jam reaching out to some new ground. Touch appropriate, and the Cassidy, Crazy>Uncle John a solid segment of the second. Great to have some family at these to run with, we dominated a corner of the bar and had great sound. Hooray for live music. Praise DSO.

Tuesday night Basement Dance Party #4 delivered an experience complete with the full range of human emotion and Grateful Dead vintages. To keep things 2020, the band blew a fuse during the first set, temporarily slowing the journey to the other side. The group persevered to achieve bliss somewhere in the primal second set. The third included an early Fire and Terrapin and the 18 minute space from 94/10/01 took all on a journey through the multiple time space wormholes. The dance lab has been the secure, underground operations center to escape the ills of the surface in 2020. Set One 80/28/11 Lakeland Civic Center Arena, Lakeland, FL Jack Straw, Peggy-O, Rooster, Tennessee Jed, Passenger, Deep (Blown Fuse) Elem Blues, Looks Like Rain, Deal.

Great stuff, Hardpan. That is a report. Praise DSO.

Just got home from local Dead. Great Time. Eagerly awaiting reports. Praise DSO.

In an ever evolving series, Basement Dance Party 3 pushed the limits of human endurance, fanning out to a broader range of Grateful Dead textures. The whole night brought high quality work by the band, and the ride home from DeKalb was absurd. I would love to have you all here for one of these, they have been fun. Music ended around 2:00, with full post show silliness and Australian Rules Football.

E: One More Saturday Nite. Praise DSO.

Last evening Basement Dance Party 2 surprisingly exceeded expectations, burning many calories in the process. A full serving of treats set the mindstage for the genius of the Big Man, he delivered in spades. The show had a nice long set break to refresh, and the energy in the room propelled the party to add on two unscheduled sets of acoustic Jerry. Hoe Down grande. Set One 83/10/21 Centrum Music, Loser, CC Rider, Cumberland Blues, Cassidy, Ramble on Rose, Brother Esau, BIG RR, Promised Land. Set Two 81/05/16 Cornell Shakedown>Bertha, Lost Sailor>Saint>D> Set Two 85/06/24 RiverBend S>Comes a Time>Other One>Cryptical>Wharf Rat> Round and Round, Good Lovin'. E: US Blues.
