  1. Jeff was quite the trooper with his injured knee leaving the stage after the second set and coming back on for the encore. And I have to comment on Rob's Blow Away, he did a precise replica of the Brent rave up towards the end with the counting of the fingers and then opening up to let your heart out, pretty damn close to what Brent delivered that night. Thank you for studying the show and the delivery, it made it an all the more joyous that first night at Jubilee for folks from the Cincinnati area. That was a standout show on that spring tour, especially that Fantasy which fell flat in Pittsburgh, the energy level was off the hook in Cincytown during the China Rider inside of Riverfront coliseum that Sat night compared to the mellow Sunday show in Louisville with it's somber Stella Blue. I had forgotten all about the Box of Rain encore adding even more jubilee to the 5/24/24 experiment ⚡. The third night Birdsong clip esp moving as the woman that jumped in my car at Alpine 87, who I took all the way (and scoring her tickets to each show along the way in the parking lots, I had mail ordered my Tix for the entire tour) to the two Roanoke before sending her home as I headed up to Philly solo, Gina unexpectedly passed away on 5/23/24 and the text sent out to me and all her friends had those same lyrics Jeff chose to sing for the partial Birdsong that found it's way into the Other One. I really couldn't believe the band played that since it's usually a first set song. But Gina Defazzio's spirit was noticably with us all at Jubilee this year. I got the text of her death as I was leaving Emmylou in Lexington on Thursday 5/23/24, getting ready to head to Buckeye Fri morning. Unexpected death as she was planning on hitting the June 1st Hyryder show with me. On 5/25/24 she also visited the sacred grounds of legend valley during the drums>space>tomorrow 🕳️🕳️🕳️🪶🪶🛞🕯️🕉️🎶🇱🇷🐉〽️
  2. Not seeing it on archives. My suggestion.... get to the next show you can as each one continues to be better than the last 🫠
  3. got to party with Bill during the JGB 5 night run at the Wiltern in November of 1990. The guy next to him, next to me said: "here's some hash Bill brought back from the European tour" ~ he's joined the heavenly fold
  4. When I asked a taper if he had recorded Holly Bowling's late night he said he did and it would be up soon. Night two sent us off with her keyboard performance sounding like a grand piano intertwining the cryptical and terrapin suites with Althea intricately weaving in and out of the garden of dead and phish songs also including a full treatment of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. An exemplary ending especially after what DSO had conjured up for their second performance of a perfectly planned trifecta⚡🇱🇷💫
  5. Dark Star played Dark Star
  6. GDP sent me a front row center ticket for my hometown show which I went to after the final flip of the second set tape from 20th row center running the AKG460's hornhat > D5. DSO slayed this to the hilt. Couldn't ask for a better start to the weekend!
  7. You got a point, he was in the balcony and from the clip he sent me, it looked loose and nice on the floor, which is where I would have been, in the massive mix.
  8. Emmylou Harris at KY Theater ~ Lexington 5/23/24 🌹Here I Am, Orphan Girl, Blue Kentucky Girl, Making Believe, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Kern River, If I Needed You, Get Up John, Red Dirt Girl, Wheels>Luxury Liner, Bright Morning Star, Goodbye, One of These Days, Pancho and Lefty, All The Road Running, Goin Back to Harlan, Bang the Drum Slowly, The Pearl.

  9. My buddy in Nashville was disappointed by the sound system compared to what he said he experienced at his first JITS in January. The clip he sent me of Bertha did sound a bit thin, but with that setlist you all got a great show! Apparently one of his friends who saw one of the Carolina shows spoke of a similar disappointment. I can't say I've come away from a DSO show disappointed with the sound. Especially my last show in Chicago! One of the incentives that got me to Jubilee last year was the attraction of the unique sound system used for the festival. I wasn't disappointed with the sound and got enlisted back to this celebration since it left the ledges. Nashville crowds know how to do shows ~ it's music city!
  10. Our friend in Nashville sent a video of the opener Bertha and my first thought was 78. Sorry to hear you had to miss the show and the reason why. My place got broken into in 2006, they cleared out my a/v equipment; however, I was really upset about my recently acquired concert material. That's when a friend introduced me to sugarmegs and archive to relieve the angst of losing the recordings. Definitely a violation feeling and a severe financial set back.
  11. We got one Saturday night in Covington. I can appreciate your pleas because it is a great song all around ~ thought provoking lyrics with dissonant chords and squelching leads kept in check with the repeating "da na na na" loop and continually building to many, many chreshendas. The stage was set for Scarlet Fire with the other set openers (Shakedown, China Ryder and HSF) already delivered in the two previous concerts leading up to this one. In the way creative Dead musicians like to steer away from the predictable, it wasn't played, but Victim was and that was the ticket that led to Terrapin. Keep the manifestation going and it will materialize. Keep your emotions in check because you know, being the tourhead you are, it will either come at the show before your next show or the show right after your last, right? 🥹 but be at peace knowing your efforts have conjured it back! Saturday's Hyryder show was all about the Mountains of the Moon outta space and thankfully we didn't have to hear a OMSN on Saturday night!! Instead everyone was treated with Enjoying the Ryde as closer (not the predictable open) and we were graciously sent off Ryding Mighty High! SF is being held as a diamond for the mining road runners that get the them all. We got our SF on 420 so all is good going into an All Good weekend ⚡🎶🔥
  12. Very nice! Killer Jerry and the Sunrise platform for Lisa to reign 🔥⚡ Appreciate the Intel, I'm sure you all are doing it right esp knowing you got shows to follow!
  13. Ouch! That one hurts. I was sitting here Sat afternoon around 5, seriously contemplating coming down and that's a "should of" that's going to take a long time to get over. Been wanting, and asking, for a Reuben for quite awhile and Don't Let Go used to be in rotation before COVID; however, I believe that's the first one for BCE in forever (I know it got played at one of the side gigs on a Fri, from Lager reporting), Take a Melody has been a long time coming. Maybe both drummers were sick or couldn't make it so they ripped all those one drummer JGB tunes with the Mighty Dino English? My evil dark side is telling me the same troubling news it did during the eighties with The Grateful Dead ~ don't even think about missing a SPAC or RR or any show (after the 85 onslaught) and considering the Whirling Tiger is now the new Cosmic Charlies, it's only right that they dropped this show there 💫 Happy that Too Much Fun was in the house! May that ⚡🎶🔥 spread wildly to the fields of Thornvllle ⚡🎶🔥
  14. Better seen through a camera. There was great views on the outskirts of metropolitan Cincinnati last night around 10:45, my sister captured some decent photos, that I'm trying to figure out how to share. I think Hyryder played their outdoor show at the mousetrap last night with the stage lights off during the second set in regards to this current phenomenon. The stream was dark from what I watched.
  15. https://abc7amarillo.com/amp/news/local/northern-lights-spectacle-anticipated-may-10th-and-11th-2024 Get to an area of darkness tonight for an anticipated Northern lights spectrum @ an 8 of 9 visibility level for most of the country
  16. https://archive.org/details/gd86-05-10.sbd.hinko.19962.sbeok.shnf Somehow a million roses fell from above onto the stage area on this beautiful sunny afternoon show as they started into Bertha, being barefoot on those cozy, grass covered 7 inch high, 5 foot wide tiers that made sugar coated Frosty Flakes out of all of us who could stand the lift off on that Sat in the land of lullabyes
  17. I can't tell you how much I'd give to get another Zevon show. When an artist of Lanois's passion and caliber schedule shows I hate to have time and distance keep me from being there. I first heard about his guitar playing first hand from my long time Emmylou fan out of Salisbury, NC when Daniel played guitar for her band on a little 6-7 show run through the Carolinas and Virginia fall 1995. Buddy Miller then became Spyboy 's guitarist starting with their first show of Spring tour 1996 at Bogarts in Cincy, March 20th opening with Love Hurts. But Ray wrote about seeing some of the 95 fall shows with Lanois and, being a guitarist himself, exclaimed how unusual his playing was, no picks and strumming on all parts of the neck with passion that was fiery. Any FF in SoCal should get into one or all of the three shows starting Tuesday. Hopefully Charlie Miller takes on the challenge. He taped their show at the Wiltern when he opened for her on peddle steel then joined her playing the Wrecking Ball album in 2014, 🤞🤞🤞
  18. Although it's a little disconcerting to look down at the trip odometer when showing 1000+ miles at 3am, with still another 500 to go, the time in the comfortable Hopkins Center for the Arts theater with the trio was drummer tight, bass thundering melodical groove while he crashed leads, harmonics, distortion and power with his golden Les Paul and soothed out some of best peddle steel slides with his quintessential emotions of love, sadness, family history and expressed humble gratitude to us and the world... This is also a three vocal harmony making it hard not to smile and feel peace. Opening surprisingly with Emmylou Harris's: Where Will I Be, then: I Love You, Moondog, Fire, That's The Way It Is, Under a Stormy Sky, then a song about growing up with his brother riding motorcycles across the US and Canada: Silver Riding With Silverado, Red I Love You and the Rest of the World, talked of his new love accepting his recent request for her to join in running away to the circus and getting lost: Slow Giving, sat down at peddle and was confounded there wasn't a bar , joking until his tech guy dug it out of a stage bag: JJ Leaves LA, then what he exclaimed his time in Jamaica and influenced by Bob Market was a brand new song from the bar gliding and grinding on the strings, back at the Les Paul for: Daughters and Sons>The Maker. Came back out for Stillwater, then said they had to travel and the grandparents in the audience should get back to their grandchildren. They've just added a third night to the already scheduled Tues, Wed and now Thurs in the Dreamland Theater Malibu California with a 100 audience cap on the space. That's going to be a catalog diving run and most likely new experimental music creating time. Check out the 3D virtual tour of the theater space with unusual couches, Easy Chairs and tiger statues ... wild
  19. It took long enough, next Saturday 5/4/24 in Hopkins, MN (there's still some tickets ~ $48.00 + $2.00 fee) and then a couple of shows in California. Gotta love the $2.00 ticket fee these days. 〽️
  20. I wish I was a HEADLIGHT on that northbound TRAAAiiiNNNaiN!!! It's the Thursday right before their annual RR event.
  21. It's going to be a last minute decision with all the whirlwind of the unexpected and eyes wide open; however, if I'm graced with the privilege of attending, that I will
  22. Streaming Phish pholks came by the Burl in Lexington. Talked to one cat that was a Goose fan before the drummer died and is disappointed with the return with new members citing they're sounding like Phish now. He's a Phish tour head and that's what he liked about the original Goose, being different. I never added any Goose shows when being prompted by Hyryder fans at mousetrap shows a couple of years back. My concert reportore didn't have room for Goose, but I did like talking when their fans, they just weren't getting a new recruit. I believe this Friday in Lexington will most likely be my last Billy Strings having started with with him back at the JHMF in 2014. I got him to sign my acoustic guitar the third day of the three night NYE run up in Pontiac Michigan because him and his band were staying at the same Marriott hotel that he had set up for fans at a cheap rate with shuttle runs back and forth to all 3 shows. The front of the guitar has a black catfish on it and his William Apostle signature came down nicely off of the catfish's whiskers. He's was psyched about that. Met Duck and sons for the first time there in 12/31/18 and ran into him again at Billy's 2022 NYE show 🎶🔥⚡
  23. BCE 420 Lexington: #1 Shakedown Street, Used to Love Her, The Race is On, Run for the Roses, LR Rooster, BE Women, Wang Dang Doodle, TLEO, Blow Away>Don't Ease. #2: Scarlet>Fire (with Dino English sitting in for one of the drummers), Easy Wind, Waiting for A Miracle, TWLWMYD, Truckin, Black Peter, I Need a Miracle, OMSN. Encore: Sugar Magnolia (no SSDD) The Shakedown opener was reminiscent of the Long Beach '81 with the nice long ending accentuating the keyboard with the guitar interplay. Good seeing DSO friend at the end of the show 〽️
  24. Agreed, anything with Lanois hand in it is good work and I could see where their sound would lend itself to the visual effects of the sphere Thanks the photos Tea! Looking forward to inside reviews when they get their heads back together 🫠
