Rude

Is there ever a night where you just open Apple Music/Tidal and search Willin’ and let every live version play in a row for over an hour? I’m there.

i sold a friends weekend ticket for $40 for rislofest on CashorTrade. Prob should have let you know

Got to see Panic at redrocks for 3 shows June 23-25th. Flight was delayed 6 hours which created a ton of stress and we got to the show 20 mins in which was so lucky. Unfortunately what we didn’t know is if you don’t get there way before doors which is 2:30 before the show, you can’t get in the seating part. Everyone puts down blankets and you are screwed. Saturday we get there 30 mins before doors and can only get row 53 of 70. You couldn’t hear any bass up there and the sound was super weak. Everyone near us was shocked how quiet the sound was. So Sunday we get in line at 2pm and get row 30. We were stilll disappointed in the sound. Panic usually turns it way up. You never complain about volume at their shows but it was lacking. The whole weekend was a race. Race to eat and hit dispensary then race to the show then race up the stairs to drop your blanket and secure a spot. We had zero time to enjoy Colorado. We did spend a ton of time at redrocks and it has gorgeous views so there’s that, but we won’t be going again for this. It’s like tailgating at a football game 3 straight days. We like getting to a show right before start time and relaxing before. There was none of that for us. I also realized that no matter what song, I can’t get to the level I get when DSO plays dead or several of the other dead bands we like. We couldn’t push through the pain Fron climbing stairs like we could if dead was playing. On that note we will probably catch Phisj 3 shows im Nashville early October b/c we can do all 3 without her requesting any PTO as it’s a quick drive.

id love some Saturday night then a Sunday 2pm show then hop on an 8pm flight home lol. Unfortunately her boss sent this scathing memo about how no one can request off work anymore well in advance and they have to wait until closer to request off which is insanity. She also said no requesting off near a federal holiday until the week before. This hospital job won’t last long if they won’t let us off for music. Besides beach week, every PTO day goes to music and dso besides a few exceptions. Having a young one it’s easier to deal with but as he gets older and easier to care for, we will be ready to hop on the bus for 9 days and see some shows.

It’s been so strange after following these guys for over 10 years to see tours dropping like this. I don’t know what to make of it. Is there another connector? Is it just Saturday night for Atlanta too. I know many many peeps who haven’t been able to do shows b/c of late announcements or single shows where you don’t wanna make an 8 hour trip for 1 show. I don’t understand what’s up with scheduling unless they are doing private parties or something on Friday. I’d assume there’s an Atlanta connector but they did do that solo Boston show. I just want to see a whole list and figure it out before someone else requests off that day from her work and we’re out of luck. hopefully with Deadco over and Billy mania possibly fading slightly, attendance will begin to pick up and dso can start doing 14 shows tours again.

Id guess around 2500-3k maybe. They have expanded the VIP area and I think it used to sell out at 3k peeps. Not sure capacity for jubilee now.

You need to definitely do it with your proximity.

i forgot you saw it live lol. 2 hours away. Huge dso fan. 1st jubilee. You guys were also last men out at 3pm 😂. edit: if you didn’t know, AC’s buddy woke at noon on Monday. Pretty much ignored security saying you have to leave as he made his coffee with no one else left in the venue. For a couple hours security tried to get them to leave until a stern warning came lol. Had such a good time didn’t want to go lol.

did they announce a St. Louis show in November?

back in the day when I was taking dead novices and dso virgins to shows, I really wanted them to play this era. Now I’d rather hear dso do originals, mid to late 80’s or old school. Most of my my friends now listen to dead at least in a rotation. They did that 69 at Louisville several years ago and it was a buddys 1sr show. I was worried but he thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was using big boy Pete lyrics that week and I’m like what’s that from. He’s like we heard it in Louisville. Note he likes to go big on getting a buzz on so that era was kind to him that night lol. I got a forty-five to keep me alive Seven bullets on my side

Looking back at this post, I don’t remember the band ever playing unfinished versions of songs. On the early GSET did they just do the couple minute version missing the hook? Sunshine daydream was like that the 1st 10+ versions

If it wasn’t the day before thanksgiving, we’d have gone at least once, but we have 2 different family dinners so we’ve never attended. If it was 2 shows on Tuesday and Wednesday we’d be like “hey family. We will be there a bit late Thursday”

https://archive.org/details/jmaf2023-05-28.AKGmix.toaste.flac16/jmaf2023-05-28.AKGmix.t01.flac this was one of my favorite sets all weekend. Enjoy.

Glad you finally get a show, Doc. I miss the super 8 days at black mountain. That one year I got us that mansion was also super fun, but the stress of filling up a $3000 rental wasn’t fun even though it all turned out great. We had like 15 or more people staying there and everyone had a bed lol. Mei mostly chilled in the master bedroom hot tub. That place was great and we were the 1st people to ever rent their summer home. And that kitchen was amazing. You and meili handled most of the cooking duties with Dr B grilling those salmon filets. We feasted and then we hit the farmers market and did it all again the next day.

I got addicted to the Korean beef tacos at jubilee. Beef, Asian slaw and Siracha. Night 3 after start of set 2 I went and got a few and was dancing with the tacos. I rarely eat during a show but by night 3 of jubilee I had a hunger.

Of course gulf oysters are a bit lazier and live a slower life than coastal oysters. Just just b/c they talk different doesn’t mean they are not equal. Felix’s are really small and amazing. It may be the most famous oyster bar in the country besides acme. We went to acme with Dr B and you couldn’t finish them they were so massive. We made a funny asking if we can take these with us. He said we are required by law to toss them after an hour if on the half shell and if you ate these tomorrow you’d be in the hospital.

we had an oyster lesson when in Nola in 2019. There are like 7 regions of the gulf that have different oysters. Acme oyster bar has the monster ones but they have almost no flavor. Felix’s are very small but taste wonderful. Of course I don’t remember names or anything like that considering you kill a lot of brain cells in nola

Mei’s fav thing is Charlie singing promontory rider. Thats the only song she desperately wants to hear.

I’m sure tea saw you. He doesn’t miss a stream. I think we may do Lazy summer home late august and camp. Indy should be a bit cooler by then. No way you’d want to camp in my area end of august. Likely still in the 90s

This summer is prob a rough time for dso show attendance with many spending their disposable incomes on the last Deadco tour and their high ticket prices. Wrigley field pit ticket face was 950/ticket with them being sold as golden road vip plus the fan favorite platinum up charge to boot. At least you get a poster with that grand you dropped. Peeps on CashorTrade are trying to sell some of those and of course there are no takers. Football stadiums are set up so much better for concerts than baseball stadiums. I just don’t get why that besides Folsom field, the rest in large format venues are baseball stadium gigs with each having their unique field size and dimensions. I’ve seen Deadco probably a dozen times and they just always disappoint me. Slowing the tempo on even 1 dance song, just makes me get angry and gets in my head the same way a talker or someone who takes my dance space does. I never start at the back of a venue but usually end of there b/c of no space but at Deadco I want to run from the music. What’s weird is I don’t mind all the other dead bands doing their thing, but deadcos take makes me angry so it’s best I just avoid it for my mental health. Note that I’ve had great times at shows but how can you have a bad time outdoors in Boulder mid summer with great friends. There are hundreds of dead bands that have their own style and play differently than the dead, but Deadco is THE only one who plays dead slower. When Deadco is finished i don’t see any band trying to replicate their take or at least I hope not. A good friend of mine who loves Deadco doesn’t dance so he doesn’t notice the tempo like I do. I can’t get my heart rate up and get that dancers high like I get during dso. Dancing to dead or dso is an actual drug that causes chemical releases in my body but I don’t get that release at Deadco b/c the tempo precludes that.

night 1 we were so tired trying to adjust to a night time schedule from a 9pm bed time that mei actually said at drums space she wanted to go to sleep. I made her push on but at 12:45 we were in the tent asleep. By night 3 i had my sea legs and a set 2 start of HSF is my favorite intro. Energy plays a huge part in musical enjoyment

Definitely night 3 set 2. It was a full on face melter.

If you fly to see every show, many songs get old but you see more shows than anyone likely. I’ll take all the Beatles that the band wants to do dead style. And you had to know we were getting a love the one your with and oh darling this weekend.

thats like slugging a pint of whiskey. With no tolerance, not sure how he could play.

jessica is still the happiest song ever created in my opinion.
