Island Bro

Now this one is out of the bag for late July: 50 yr anniversary of Watkins Glen; https://wonderlandforest.com DSO along with an Allman Bros band and The Band, band… should be hoot!!

I would be all over heading to these unique shows…always pining for a 3-pack, anywhere…especially out west in a beautiful and unique spot but gosh darn it this the only weekend that I’m fully committed to for Oregon Country Fair (DSO and members have played there in years gone by)…a soul nourishing event that I’ve been on board for since my first in ‘88… I sure wish Jackson hole landed the following weekend but alas…that’s how it goes sometimes! clearly will be a unique and magical weekend!

Though not from the band,,here’s some solid confirmation for ya: https://snowkingmountain.com/king-concerts/ maybe official band announcements by June? 😂 oh and tix went on sale today! Just follow the link above…Looks like $120 for 3 day pass for GA 😉

I do think they are extremely talented musicians and a tightness to the band that I can appreciate but their music never hooked me…lacking in some sort of depth and/or soul. I’m glad so many people enjoy them, but not my thing. Agree with Mango that String Cheese actually does something for me and can fully enjoy what they have to offer and the dance culture around that band though my live hits of that have been limited. Overall,,would rather go catch a really hot funk band for non GD music experience

I’d say hire Hardpan for logistics and tour announcements…I mean,,,he’s quicker than anyone else in this case! Seriously…early May…and still July dates and other summer shows yet to be announced?! This year looking like a C- for getting the full summer tour sched rolled out…I know there’s tons of details to be pinned down and more than I can understand about show announcements but most people have already locked in their summer plans and spent $ for shows and festivals…not to whine,,but……. oh well,,the shows will be kicking ass anyway.

$187 for all those shows (17 cds) in a box set doesn’t seem too unreasonable. Cream of the crop stuff in there 🤠

The backup singers/horn players added a LOT to that show…both of the gals voices were heavenly and I loved what the dude brought to Shakedown with his singing… Also thoroughly enjoyed Duane Betts’ contribution and the dips into Allman Bros… Good stuff for sure!!

Was still rolling after the 🔥DSO show…love me some 76….other one-comes a time-Franklins-Sugar Mag….wowzer!! Helluva He’s Gone and the Eyes-Music 2nd set opener kicked ass. Liftoff achieved during Sugaree in first set… was still rolling after the live stream so I circled back to check out Hyryder and see what you guys have been talking about last couple years…hell yes,,smokin rippers for sure…fun high energy tight band I look forward to catching live some time. kind of parallels Grateful Shred in my mind…who’ve also been gathering steam and starting to get out and tour a bit and on my radar. yes,,digging the free stream…very cool of the promoters to choose that path and provide the music for everyone… Anyone know how many attendees? I went last year and looks similar this year from the stream but can’t remember how many there were….

🤘🏼 about an hour to couch liftoff 🤩

Mars hotel set smoking hot fun to catch glimpses of Rick and Whitney shakin it out to them… I wanna see more of that band!

Yeah a March 1st summer tour rollout would’ve been helpful… ready to see the rest of the summer dates!!

I’d say even if the festival is free it wouldn’t be wrong to feel that way 😉 You certainly aren’t alone in your preferences 😜

I just never knew what Grace was up to before Airplane… Cool shit!

Wow just when Jefferson Airplane is beginning to feel like ancient history in the best of ways,,,the archeological digs turn up more evidence of psychedelic yesteryear reaching back just a little bit further than you’ve gone before… thanks for the history lesson, once again Chuck 😉

Looks like a fun one Nice slot for Piece of My Heart to show up…😀 Piece of My Heart> Foolish Heart seems like a rather nifty start to a second set

Did they lay down a filler on top of that fall 77 beauty?

Absolutely… ‘Twas a great way to dive back into the Warfield which I hadn’t been in since over thirty years ago seeing Jerry band shows there…such a beautiful old theater and Cotter had the sound dialed so well for that space with Skip well represented in the mix while he slayed dragons with Mission Control.

A weekend steeped in primo ‘78 DSO in a 100 yr old theater in SF with so much history and soul… The roof was blown out on Saturday night in the best of ways possible… once again the musical journey offered confirms to the cleareat of perspectives that they are TRULY A BAND BEYOND DESCRIPTION WOW ,,,thank you for a REAL good time 🙏🏼

Looks like a beauty Saturday night! I would lap up every drop of that 2nd set!

Have a blast DD!!

Hey I caught the Sam Grisman Project over the weekend and they are worth hitting up if they come to your area. Cool combo of electric and acoustic in each set doing a mix of GD, Jerry Band, and old traditionals that Jerry and David used to do…nice spread of music and the electric stuff had some juju for sure. Almost added the Sunday night Seattle show when we heard Dawg would be sitting in with them (now 77 or so) but couldn’t quite swing it. Fun presentation of music from a bunch of 30-something rippers…check ‘em out

Similarly to you Tea,,my first concert was ‘82 and I was 11 but it was for The Who…during their ‘82 “Final Farewell Tour” which is pretty funny considering they’ve had many tours since then 😂

Wow…that’s a big pillar to fall. His music has had a profound impact on me going back to a very young age. I’ve felt that his 1971 solo album, “If I could only remember my name” (which Jerry, Phil, Mickey and Billy contributed musically to and Jerry actually helped arrange and produce), lands in the category of one of the finest albums made. I’d say that about a lot of albums actually,,including Deja Vu as well,,,but that solo album is truly something special… Anyway,,thank you Croz for your immense musical contribution to this world 🙏🏼

My oh my…that there’s a true beauty!

Indeed,,,and the final St. Stephen ever played ups the ante on it even more 😉
