  1. Darrell Scott Bluegrass Band at 3rd and Lindsley 8/31/24 Urge For Going Kentucky Morning Red Bird This Weary Way Charlie and Ruby Raji's Romp With a Memory Like Mine Banjo in the Holler One Hand on the Wheel Jesus Was a Capricorn Never Leave Harlan Alive Helen of Troy American Tune River Take Me Encore: It's A Great Day To Be Alive Any time with Darrell Scott is soul enrichment, always a different take on each song and killer guitar, lyrics that reach deep in to the human experience. This was extra special with his Bluegrass Band
  2. 3/5 of a Mile in 10 seconds was performed by Mattson and friends at last year's Jubilee. Got to revolution, got to revolution....
  3. It's been a few years since the midwest wasn't included for fall>NYE. My last DSO NYE was Indy. Shakedown at midnight!
  4. https://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/asxcards/JazzIsDead2024-08-11VarietyPlayhouseAtlantaGA.html Just added to sugarmegs
  5. We stayed at the B/W in Anderson for Phish. Glad you made it. I've heard nothing but good vibes from folks each year at the next show after Lazy. I've got a connect in Kokomo that's opening up his house as a place to stay after the free show on Sept 21st. Anna and I will be there and more are welcome.
  6. Well not exactly last night, but Wednesday July 13, 1983 9pm at Bogarts in Cincy Peter Tosh then up in Ann Arbor on August 6th 1983 at Michigan Theater
  7. https://archive.org/details/gd1987-08-11.sbd.gans.miller.92056.sbeok.flac16 Beginning of the run to the Harmonic Convergence on the 15th at Telluride. After checking out High Time played at this show today from 37 years ago, check out the one from 13 days ago on a recent sugarmegs's upload of Skeleton Krewe at Mulligans Bar on the Blue in Wailea, Maui Hawaii with Barraco joining in on How Sweet It Is ~ A Tribute to Jerry Garcia: Harder They Come Sisters & Brothers BEW Lazy River Road Catfish John Like a Road Tore Up ****** Second That Emotion Sitting Here in Limbo Midnight Moonlight> Simple Twist> Midnight Moonlight ++++++ High Time NFA ~~~~~~§
  8. I've been studying these recent shows, esp with Alphonso Johnson on bass. Glad you got one in and that Kimock is still going for the gold ring deep inside. Another recent show was like 4 songs that was dark star laden⚡
  9. Going through some boxes looking for my folder of Emmylou stage setlists from 1996-2002 (50-60 to update setlistFM) and came across my first post Jerry setlist. It was a Ratdog show at Bogarts 11/6/98: Easy Answers, Bombs Away, Baby Blue, Young blood, Used to Love Her, Travels Alone, LL Rain, LR Rooster, Sailor>Saint, TOO>drums>Throwing Stones. E: JBG That was my first time back with a GD experience after Robert Hunter's Bogarts show in 1997 and his Newport in Columbus on 11/2/98: Star Baby Gap, Judgement Day, Jack Straw, Box of Rain,Deal, Silvio, Doin' That Rag, AIM AT THE HEART, Cumberland Blues. # 2 Mountains of the Moon, BE Women, Cruel White Water, FOTD>Talkin' Money Tree>Yellow Moon, Gone Fishin', I Come to Sing, Elijah Run, Ruebin & Cherise, Scrap of Midnight. E: Milwaukee Blues, Ripple, Boys in the Barroom. He was kinda pissed at all the drunks singing during Dead songs because he liked to throw in new different lyrics for those that were there to listen to his inspiration. Looking back I remember how thirsty folks were for a Deal and just couldn't hold back their good cheer
  10. Squirm out of Colorado ~ very good took me to places only Partical has done. Solid drummer, keys, bass and guitar. Small set up under an easy up close to ours, really talented and exceptional delivery, only one cover: Fly Like An Eagle.... time keeps on slipping into the future made it a perfect cover for this band. They did Stanley's Thursday before their all day Friday Deercreek parking lot extravaganza then the after show at the mouse trap from 11-2 on Saturday. Catch them if they're in your area and stay for the whole deal, it becomes something really special by the end
  11. Phish second night of Deercreek after a St Louis start. The lot is killer
  12. In the year of 1968 the world became a better place on July 23rd. Happy belated birthday! Thanks for all the inspiration you swirl, keep on keeping on and: "May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true"
  13. Maymont show states parking sold out; however, there's still tickets available. I wonder where people coming in cars will leave them for the hours of the concert?
  14. It was strange for Melvin's scheduled Sat show when they opened with Dancin in the Streets. Considering it was billed as a JGB show I could think of at least 5 JGB standard openers. The rest of the show was played like a dead show complete with a d/s in the second set, which for me was heard just fine at our primo camp. They seemed more of a dead cover band not even close to the quintessential Jerry Garcia Band shows and I don't like saying this but they have played Sisters and Brothers to the ground. Maybe time has done it's thing to get Dark Star back there. They would easily sell 3000+. Jubilee is great for a music festival, Ledges is incomparable as the best venue in Ohio and would be closer for upstate NY folks. Peeps would be more likely to fly in from the West Coast. Have fun in Europe everyone. My sister leaves for Portugal tomorrow. In another lifetime for me, not the path I led this time around. It's really great that DSO is back to playing a lot of shows! Looking forward to some Midwest in Nov 🙏
  15. Final Never Trust a Woman The top of the end
  16. Melvin couldn't make his scheduled 9:30-11 evening show on Friday so Hyryder filled in after playing their earlier 5-6:25 scheduled show. Then we also got a third dose on Sat from 6:35-8 opening with St Stephen. The weather could not have been any better ~ low 50's for sleeping and mid 70's -80 during the day. We secured the absolute best camp site on Wednesday (although they tried to send us into the boonies) Thanks to Ducks eagle eye and Jedi driving we turned around and drove right up to the beach entrance from the woods. My first time back to the Ledges since Dark Star left , like 15 years ago. I forgot how intimately everyone there becomes best friends. 🤞🤞🤞🤞That DSO gets back there🙏🙏🙏
  17. You know they did. Touch comes out Scarlet easy and uplifting (8 according to the version of DB I got)but it's an awkward segue lead to Fire maybe explaining the stand alone second set opener for the Sunday afternoon Greek show in 86 after trying it out in Providence 85? I'm only seeing two (July 3 Starlight, Kansas ~which also had the stand alone Cryptical second set opener after it came back and and as it was leaving~ and the Greek 7/13 Where was was the third STF? I'm guessing Jerry was exploring (or cutting short in some cases) the after Scarlet jams but didn't want to disappoint folks that cheered the beginning of Scarlet anticipating a 🔥 to follow. Always considerate for others while keeping also the inspirational highlight lights on through the cool Colorado rain. Not much specific musical reviews going on with this tour. Glad for those that had their act together enough to get in and enjoy!
  18. I usually picked up the girlfriends at Alpine having complete mail order summer tour tickets already and having to successfully score their tickets at each upcoming lot. SPAC 88 was the most difficult. There must have been 5000 fingers in the air on those hilly grass lots that day, but I caught an eye from an extra ticket holder way off that walked right up to me and handed me Amy's ticket. Your reply here puts in context your attendance at the Riverbend 85 recreation at Riverfront Live in 2022. Soooo glad you made it and looking forward to seeing you again at some more!
  19. Especially this articular head ~ Reviewer: Augy - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - November 25, 2008 Subject: Where was Betty? My 4th show, 1st personally attended with a taper so we got it immediately! By the way, for those of you who are looking for a board tape of this, to my knowledge Betty didn't record this one very unfortunately; but like usual Dr. Rob Bertrando did a great job in the audience! Firstly, I don't know what you folks are talking about who mentioned missing tunes etc. It seems to all here to me! Secondly, a little explaining here about what may seem now to be unimportant, but if you'll bare with me; I think you can see that the following is very different from what later on was almost always the case. That is, a solid 3 hours + break, instead of them being the ones who, as many of you know, often were late! What I'm talking about is Weir saying, just before "Friend of the Devil" : "And next time we'll try a little harder to be on time". This is probably since the Forum in those days was rather strict about ending a show within curfew, ie. how else could they play longer than most bands and still make curfew. However luckily, unlike many including me (us), Dr. Rob Bertrando was in there ready to record the opener! I say this because we were far, far from being the only ones late. So rather than as some reviewers surmised who weren't there, that they felt as though they were tired after the East Coast, and perhaps they were. Or was it that much of the reserved floor seats were still empty after we got into the performance which had been going since 7:00 PM? In my (our) particular case, we were late mostly due to the adjacent Hollywood Park Horse Race Track getting out at the same time as we were coming in. I'd just graduated from Redondo (Beach) Union High. My friend John Redfern, who'd drove a bunch of us younger folks to the show, recorded most of this on a rinky-dink recorder from where we were (Loge on the right side); that is after we finally got thorough the traffic and inside midway through Tennessee Jed I remember I was handing over my ticket. Being in a group, naturally we had lame tickets. But alas, we tripped on that not so bad recording all summer long, being the first time I had a recording of a show I'd actually attended. Especially my all time favorite, yet short, but incredible rendition of, (yes, they played it much longer at for example, Winterland several times etc.); and despite the talking during the beginning : Fernario!! Check out how the drummers come thumping back to bring Jerry around for the next go round of the chord progression in the middle of the instrumental. (I didn't get my 1st copy of Rob's complete recording until some time near the end of the year.) And I didn't actually meet him until exactly a year later at the U.C.S.B. show, (also killer)! I had this feeling in the back of my mind that I'd heard the Terrapin ending theme somewhere before, (even though it hadn't yet been released on vinyl at the time of this Forum show)? I surmised at the time mistakenly that perhaps, it was similar to a classical melody or something like that, wrong! It turned out, the true answer to this feeling eventually was revealed to me when I eventually got an audience tape of my 3rd show at the Swing Aud. in San Bernadino 1977-2-26; (which was later burned down after after a plane crashed into it, two years later during which Grateful Dead played there again several times. Anyway, since that was a general admission show I was naturally in front and therefore I now clearly recall, what many of you now know, was the debut of Terrapin Station and Estimated Prophet! But in between time, my memory started to fade a bit naturally, since I still didn't have a tape of a show I had actually attended until this Forum show. Nevertheless, it still stuck in my sub-conscious for another 3 1/2 months. So visualize if you can what the band looked like at this and ALL of my first four shows, (that is, by coincidence they were all where the same clothes at each of these shows, not just Garcia in black), by looking inside the final vinyl double Warner Bros. collection, release, (ie. to fulfill the record contract), "What a long strange Trip" album. Inside there are good photos of my 1st show which was the second one with the Who at Oakland Stadium 1976-10-10. (My 2nd, the second one at the Shrine in L.A., 1976-10-15). The greatest of all these was the this Forum show in my opinion (even as fantastic as the first three were). Not only of course skinny Jerry in black with "The enemy is listening" sticker on his white Travis Bean guitar with the aluminum neck; but also Donna in her green dress and sunglasses, Phil on the bass with the 10 buttons, Bob with his maroon shirt and still with a beard, and Keith with the Grand piano, which from the loge at the Forum show one could see the big "thunder skull" on the piano cover. It also must be noted that The Forum was one of the most difficult venues to sneak equipment into, so I'd really like to know how Rob got his stuff in! Did he have a backstage passes or what? I personally, later managed to sneak in my gear for the Allman Bros. in 1979 at The Forum and even later with the help of a new found friend working security for the Eagles in 1980. Unfortunately, this relationship dissolved shortly thereafter, for other reasons beyond my control and obviously it was again difficult to get stuff in there. Moreover, Rob's recording has a lot dynamic range and a good drum and bass response. Except at the beginning which maybe is more a function of getting the P.A. tuned as is often the case! Healy seemed to be able to tune this venue; despite it's notoriously bad acoustics even though it was their first time there. I remember several concerts at The Forum besides those I've mentioned and only Genesis in 1977 seemed to compare in terms of sound! This was a totally energized performance in my opinion regardless of what those who thought they were tired say all the way through! There ain't many out of the approximately 211 shows I attended that I can say that about absolutely! To reiterate again, most notably the Fernario was in my opinion the absolutely greatest ever! Enjoy, Augy San Diego Thank you Augy and Dr. Rob Bertrando! I went looking to see if Mr. Eaton had recorded it, but only got as far into the reviews as this outstanding recollection
  20. Hopefully there were some people there last night that were at the Forum in 77 Kinda like the April 89 Cincinnati show on the first night of Jubilee 🫠
  21. Is what's coming up tomorrow
  22. "Details of the plot haven’t been announced, but it’ll likely cover the band’s formation in 1965 through to the release of their debut album in 1967 – when they became key figureheads in the rise of the counterculture during the 1960s." Only covering 65-67 according to this source. Think we're going to have to wait awhile because supposedly Scorsese is now considering Frank Sinatra as his next project in development. Be cool if he gets back to Garcia seeing as it would be early years in the beginning with Pig and Hunter.
  23. The day after Jerry's last show and the beginning of a 87 days hiatus. From 75,000 at RFK to 100 at the Stone.
  24. "somehow ended up with solid dance space even in the sold out space…" During my daze of Colorado DSO runs, I heard that Boulder undersells DSO shows because they are conscientious of fans needing room to dance. A venue slated for 1000 only sells 700 for this dance accommodation. How true that is has yet to be officially verified. I can testify that my times with Dark Star Orchestra at Boulder Theater have always been spacious, relaxed and intensified by the caliber of inspiration the band receives from the muses when in holy iron flats territory. Really glad you made the trip and thanks for adding to my drab setlist delivery.
