  1. That's what I was referring to with Billy Strings in 2018, he was presenting tours with one night at multiple cities within driving range. With the Grateful Dead I learned fairly quickly that I had to do the full tour to experience the intricacies of each show and the different towns. Duprees Diamond news parking lot leaflets help teach me to tour and back in the 80's gas was cheap, so only time and distance had to be factored in. I venture to say that Billy has launched from Bluegrass in to full psychedelia, esp with his song SPINNING. I agree with you TB about his knowledge of music, life and vibrations. He now has sign up for presale before he chooses the venue so he can book one that is the appropriate size. I still would have liked to have been in Palo Alto just to get frosted again, can't believe the Californians didn't sell that one out. In my meetings with him before 2019, he was always kind, generous and easy to talk to and so were the other band members. that's when they were all in a van pulling an equipment trailer. In 2019 he switched to a tour bus, rightfully so, and started doing multiple night stands. (Louisville January 2019 Headliners). I've heard he 's been 200 shows a year starting back in 2012, playing everywhere he could.
  2. Currently in Columbus watching the 11th inning CLEVELAND playoff game, waiting for the upcoming OSU game, waiting for upcoming THE Who concert tomorrow night. Setlist looks like the first leg; however, the backstage blog tells the real story. Columbus should be a rare experience Edit: They starting playing Naked Eye and are now closing with Young Man's Blues after Baba.
  3. Goose announced their new year shows in Cincinnati after we had already committed to Billy Strings and a week in New Orleans to the end the year. Dead and Co is selling next year's Riverbend ticket October 14 for aJune 23 show. My buddy from Nashville wants to come up for the "final tour" show and I told him we would have to do cash or trade. no way I'd shell out $$$ now for next June. They'll have all that summer tour money in October, seems scammish. Plus it could interfere with the 2023 DSO show schedule. Hyryder folks have been chirping about goose since last new years show. Some cat just came up to me and said... go see goose
  4. Harbor no regrets. We are given maybe a 100 yrs to get it right before we make it to the promise land Jerry did it in 52. I'm still working on it at 58. I'd offen see poetry girl on here encouraging people to go easy on theirselves. I've found with each new discovery the ante keeps going up and the world becomes a new place. Channel what you gather with those around you. You do that very well with the forum. Even though we only met up at a Taft show briefly out front before the 83 St Stephen recreation, your writings here make it seem like you're an old friend I've known for years. The title of fall from grace is becoming stumble into grace. Which starts out with I Am Here and leads to I am Lost Unto This World.

  6. To Lay Me Down with Molly Tuttle. He's the quickest flat picker since Tony Rice and plays a lot of Cold on The Shoulder and Freeborn Man. First Wharf Rat came out of All Fall Down which rips on it's own. Anna always wanted to hear Oh The Dreadful Wind and the Rain, kudos for playing a Black Mtn Boys tune, he played that a lot, being kind. The excitement of a show is that he could possibly break out a Stranglehold, he is a master with the peddles and tripping out, Thick as a Brick was a treat, he knows his shit and anyone who knows what's going on knows their dead and presents it to the audience. 2018 was the last of 4-5 night runs close together with tickets prices $10-12.00, culminating with Pontiac three night Nye at the Strand Theater, shuttling us all from the Marriott to the theater and the band staying there with us all. Then the cap in Feb with the rat out of AFD, it was game on
  7. Hyryder Riverfront Live Saturday 9/24/22. Everyone should know the city as there was a landing made here last year for a two night stop. St Stephen>Cryptical was like a solar flare. Beautiful autumn night reminding me of the Scarlet Fire we got there some years back when it was called Annies. There was a St Stephen at that show also! Check out the stream for it was drippy. good to see Duck and all the folks who flock
  8. That show was circulating in video trades in the 80's. DSO timed their Europe excursion just right
  9. Peace be with you and your family.

Incredible performance, full band. Halfway through the show she stopped in the middle of a song and asked for the house to shut down the lights that were shining on the audience's eyes, apologizing that she didn't ask earlier.
  11. Am I reading the tour page correctly? Does it say every show is going to be a recreation from the 72 shows?
  12. Thought I saw you up at Hyryder on Friday? Hope you can make it up for the three set show on 9/24 opening with an acoustic set with female vocalist sitting in. Viola Lee Owen Blues⚡
  13. I was going to post on TDIGDH. The Aug 20 1987 park west Utah show. On that run RR>ToHellYouRide, I talked my buddy in to going to Tempe as my east coast friends headed north to DIA. We then had the 12 hr drive getting in PW parking lot around 2am. We'll at 4am I asked security where the line was going to form (GA like RR).he showed me, I went to my car got lawn chair, boombox we Hendrix at Woodstock, filled a bowl with hash and planted myself as first in line. Words started spreading around the lot that the line had started. By 6am there were a hundred people behind me and my rocky mtn crew with me up front. On the rail with a Big Boss Man opener. So calm and peaceful on the rail, I think the stage was the rail somewhere between hip and shoulder height.
  14. I'm really shocked the Frost shows haven't sold out, guess people don't know any more about Frosted Flakes.
  15. Met some folks at the Alpine Phish shows that were going. Apparently it's where the Blue Ox festival is? We drove through there 2011-2015 visiting Anna's parents in Riverfalls, Wisconsin and St Paul when they were still alive.. amazing country up there. Also met a couple from a small city in Iowa who said the 5 1/2 hrs drive to Alpine was the closest place for them to see shows. Felt for them. That Alpine lawn could be developed with tiers to off set the steepness and money could be made to invest in the lawn's sound system. Surprised nobody has done that yet. Lots of people were saying they wanted to hit it up but it was the next weekend after three Phish shows in Wisconsin. I bet my friend Tim McClendon from Sioux city SD was there. He's the person that recruited me.in Laramie.to take his extra ticket for the 4/6/84 Vegas..we.left from his house party that Friday night for the next day show. That encouraged me to get recruits for the Cincinnati drove to the Carrier Dome on Saturday October 20, 1984, I can recall doodling one more Sat night all over my college notes the weeks leading up to Syracuse.
  16. Sounds like she'd sign a hat. Right Too much fun? These tales must be told, thanks Chuck. I got to talk with Bobby a little at the after hours bar in Vail when he was there doing two shows with kimock and Kingfish August 1986. His voice was shot supposedly from free basing. During the shows he was glaring at me as his blonde girlfriend was dancing with me and pulling her skirt down to fuck with Bobby. My girlfriend, Nina got us in to the bar through Barry Flask. He invited her up to the hotel rooms; however, when I got on the elevator for the ride up he change his mind stating they really needed to rest. I wasn't going back to the campground alone, not when I was the one who orchestrated the trip. Bobby didn't say much, just kinda stayed on the outskirts. These were the dark days of the coma. By October 30 (Hunter opening for kingfish) and 31 (where kf opened for JGB) at the Kaiser Stone shows were happening and the onslaught of 87 was brewing. Sorry Tea and Ambassador Vegas for the drift and ramble. Did you get to some of those 76, 77 JGB with Donna shows? I heard JGB shows we're too much fun back then as they were only a couple of bucks..My Stone shows in January of 87 were only $10 for two sets, $15.00 at the Wiltern, $15.00 at eel river for three sets.

  18. The last time I was there was Jerry Garcia Band September 15, 1989. Then I had pavilion and the AKG460's>D5 in the 20th row center with two other tapers patched out. GDP seemed to pass out the pavilion with the mail order always getting peeps into the pavilion. This Phish series was all lawn for our crew and if you don't remember it's STEEP. My feet were a mess by Sunday with that slope. Toes all crunched at the front of shoes. Not as strong a run as Deercreek, but still rockin'. On a note of the sound system Alpine provided, tiny little speakers on the roof of the pavilion for us lawn folks. Not phish's normal sound. I loved that they didn't play Wilson in hopes to open Dicks on September 1st with it since Wilson is now Denver's new quarterback. Several friends of mine are trying for front row all sporting Wilson shirts. Might dew webcast just to see Jack and Kim.
  19. Harmonic convergence telluride 87, scarlet Fire morning dew at 14000 feet
  20. That was my only cal expo run and we all had to take our turn either running the deck or being FOB mic stand with the horn hat. 6 sets divided up amongst our crew (12 shifts). Really nice to see DSO taking it on. I'm sure the delivery was exceptional. It's nice when the play shows that are in the state they originally happened at. Certainly fills those that were there with joy. Took them 23 years to serve up Riverbend 85, we'll worth the wait.
  21. Roger Waters was too heavy on the radio hits. Did get an enjoyable The Powers That Be from the Radio KAOS album into The Bravery of Being Out of Range. Way up high are the best seats for this in the round production. Very Bloodyband gory. It was a good show,. go run and see.. definitely his last run , just wish he did only solo material. Fortunately no drunken screamers near us
  22. This also works for cucumber sandwiches.
  23. Billy Strings Friday night in Indy. Average show in a super packed Amphitheater where they had the house lights on all through the show. Boo. I'll tell you when he hits it hard; however, this was not the show. For one thing he's bringing on a violin player who has to add his lead to each song. And the violin takes up a pretty big space in the sonic world. All good except we didn't get as much banjo as we used to and Billy Failing is a bango player extraordinare. Dark Star was lingering all around the show, but he didn't make it happen. A lot of people around me were hearing it we were all hoping it would be a night full of diamonds. Also was looking for the HSF. Not to be. Almost seemed like Mr. Apostle mail it in which is not BMFS standards. Just saying. It's all fairly new as he's only 29, so there are years of development ahead. Billy stayed on stage long after the show acknowledging the audience after the house turned on music to stop. He still appreciates the magic of an audience. DSO knows this as well. They've been at it for 24 years. Hoping for some upcoming midwest shows to take my dollar.
