Dark Star Orchestra came to Cincinnati and everyone assembled in the Taft....

anybody survive to give us a weather report?

going on 14 years since Zevon left us, time and distance are two weird variables we all get to experience and come to grips with

The band is set up in the field between third and home and the audience is in the seating part of the stadium.

Thanks Tea, I needed some realignment. You're right about having a bigger space and the Taft isn't reserved seating and it's on a Friday, so it's going to be a treat.

You're probably going to have to purchase a ticket. It's big enough to where it won't sell out, so I'd wait until you get there and see if someone has an extra or just get it then at the box office. Maybe you could sneak him in if he can fit up your sleeve like an extra battery pack? Or dress him up as a back pack and have him go in on your back? Maybe a nice usher/ticket taker will pass him through

probably skip the taft show, too big a venue for a dead cover band. Even the dead started getting tiresome sometimes in the middle of a tour, but at least JG was there. He's fading big time for me now. The lead guitarists for DSO through the years have been good, but they aren't incredibly unbelievable, like Page or Garcia. A little bit of ego tripping them up. Garcia and Jimmy Page were inexhaustible, always adding something extra. Didn't get that vibe from JK. There's plenty of great musicians throwing down dirty dead in cozy little barrooms. That's what I used to like about a Hunter show during the dead days. Bring on Steppenwolf at the Ryman! 50 year celebration (and it ain't in a stadium with a bunch of rules and regulations). stir it up folks

That looks like a super event. I liked Frontier last year (and this may sound out of place) because we went with an old friend and his wife and got some good seats where we could sit and enjoy the show. Don't get many opportunities to sit and soak in a dead show and they played a lot of gems in Rochester last year. It's disconcerting sometimes when you aren't allowed to stand and dance at some none dead shows and when you aren't able to sit at a dead show. Springfield seems to have the best of both worlds.
