Rude

I considered not even making a joke about it all, but when jambase does a story about this, it now has a life of its own. Half the posts on Facebook group dead lot are about this and the internet is getting even. You don’t bash another dead band because you are pissed off at a venue. Then you don’t apologize, but, and continue the 1st argument that you were wrong to make. You just fucking say sorry. Or you rant against the promoter like Jay Lane did and leave the local dead band out of it. https://www.jambase.com/article/headstash-john-kadlecik-critique

Sometimes the internet can be used for good.

Be careful playing onstage DSO. I never realized until this week that national touring bands were literally risking their lives every time they played for us. Be safe.

Hey Islandbro, the day is here!!!! Unfortunately you haven’t slept in 2 days with all the excitement and you will likely need your female Washington crew to keep your energy up how they tried to revive the low energy Portland crowd 2 years ago. One of the reasons for my energy drain that night was a friend calls an hour before showtime out of gas 5 miles from Portland on an interstate with a 6 foot shoulder with light rain and no visibility and instead of doing the right thing and going to the show and pretending our phone battery had died, we grabbed him gas and dodged cars hoping we wouldn’t be maimed as the slowest gas can in the world trickled gas into his tank as cars missed us by a foot at the end of rush hour. Spoiler alert: we lived and made it to the venue right at showtime with frayed nerves and no energy, but we fed off your crew’s energy to at least be able to move. Not being killed was divine intervention even though maybe he could have intervened for like a liter of gas so we weren’t in that spot. The morale of the story is have a blast tonight guys because eventually our tanks will be empty. That’s a tad morbid but u get the point. Cheers.

Dont ever forget we are snowflakes. Remember I’m part of the salt of the earth gang who on tour talks about how we can solve world hunger and fix sex trafficking. I’m a man of the people. The revolution is not like an apple that falls when it’s ripe. You have to make it fall. Viva la revolucion!!!

With all the fires, floods and skin stealing going on, I’m surprised how insensitive this group is. Next someone will advocate for building a human wall to keep non dancers out of their space. I’m boycotting west coast tour and sticking to the south where they understand compassion for others.

Fire prob isn’t the best thing to be stoking on west coast tour, guys.

Go to the doc and have him induce a coma for a few days and boom, tour

Indy does have a Grateful Dead bar with a stealie logo and prob 500 people were at the mousetrap last night. Not many towns have bars that identify with the dead or incorporate dead icons in their logos. Unfortunately the closest I get to a local dead band is when hyryder comes to Evansville. Nashville has the stolen faces who play once a week but they aren’t near the same level as hyryder. These guys for being weekend warriors are fantastic and very original. For the bands I’ve seen dead related for me it’s dso, JRAD and hyryder moving up on the inside. That 1st set I posted is all female related songs lol. The viola>schoolgirl>Bertha was amazing and I was sipping on my 1st hopslam pretty much stone cold sober and my face got melted. I realize it’s the music that scrambles your brain and even though the misconception is that deadheads dance so crazy because they are on something, the reality is that the music makes us lose control.

saw 2 nights of hyryder this weekend. Set 1 of night 2 is one of the best crafted sets I’ve ever seen. These guys transition phenomenally well. Very creative and so tight. To me the mark of a great dead band is how they transition and jam and they have it down. Show starts at the 15:00 mark. Listen to at least the 1st 40 minutes. Won’t tell the setlist but it’s a doozy and the jams are off the charts. Good soundboard even though the one on their Facebook is a little better quality but this is still great. Indy has a solid dead scene and these guys sell out in town.

Hope everyone can get home ok. Weather sucks

Unfortunately dumpstaphunk won’t be the late night band where they belong. Bluegrass is daytime music. Funk is late night. It’s all about pacing yourself. We aren’t going to sprint at 5pm with a race that goes until 230am but at 1am when the finish is in sight we can. That’s the only unfortunate part of jubilee—noise “ordinances” killing the late night psychedelic funk bands... maybe its time to take a stand for late night jams and take it all the way to the Supreme Court. This is clearly a 1st amendment issue.

Don’t tell anyone but supposedly Neil, Phil, Bobby and Willie are joining Dso during one of the original shows with Willie singing lead on Stella blue followed by Neil doing forever young. Actually I’m not sure of the song order so don’t quote me on it. Oh and Bobby was coming because monet is my festival date and he wants her to make a good 1st impression. Can’t wait to see the tent setup her porters will put together. Heard out tent is made by Versace specifically for jubilee. I’ll tell you who I’m wearing when the time get closer. Luckily I have someone on the inside of her circle to keep me in the loop.

Panic x2, JRAD, Keller and Grateful grass are more appealing to me. I had fun at that billy strings show but I won’t travel for him. Pink talking fish, Les claypools new weird thing also would be fun.

That makes sense because Phil and Bobby were allegedly joining Dso to do a 69 50 year dark star.

So has anyone else heard the rumor that Neil young and Willie are joining lucas Nelson and POTR?

In the great tradition of people covering Dylan, he gave the highest tribute you can give his songs---a lyric flub on Senor. He changes tempo and singing cadence every version I hear of the "dead" tunes which means he gets it. FYI any song anyone in the dead ever sang is categorized as a dead tune to me. Its actually a pertinent song for new years depending on your personal interpretation. Heres an archive of it. https://archive.org/details/BS2018-12-31/BS2018-12-31_24.flac

Smart marketer. Play dead songs and you pull in the dead crowd. It probably got him the Jubilee gig too. He’s only 26.

That set 3 looks juicy as fuck. That’s one of those sets where you are like are u trying to kill us. Charlotte is Friday night b4 Raleigh. Gotta make it a weekend

i just don’t see Dso doing b2c Scarlett fires in the same town plus New Years is usually 3 sets.

This rules out the 40th anniversary of the closing of winterland

Yeah I have no clue of the order but think those are the songs played. I didn’t feel like taking notes and figuring out order after is a birch

E factory 1/2 step Ramble in rose Black throated wind Gimme some lovin Russian lullaby Greatest story Loose lucy Hurts me too Cassidy Tom Thumb blues Let it grow Foolish heart UJB Corinna Alligator D/s Low spark tease with drums and instrumental intro Alligator reprise Ujb reprise China doll Viola Mr Charlie This is wrong order but I tbink I pieced it together

Uber has no clue what Franklin music hall is but it’s got the electric factory still in its database. Amd seems everyone in Philly still calls it the electric factory. Was so great to see 50+ smiling faces I knew at that show. Always better dancing with friends. 2 years ago we did that 1st Avondale Birmingham show and no one we knew was there. It’s just not the same when you don’t have friends to give you that spark.

Bill won the day. Ding ding ding. I’ll ignore the fact he wasn’t The anthem energizer bunny bill tonight. I mean tiger lost to Phil in the money grab over thanksgiving so we all have off days. I’ll expect his A-game tomorrow though. Maybe it was the fact he wasn’t ready for space at the E factory and got it. Mentally preparing for a sardine factory combined with the Christmas holiday can knock down even the triathletes among us. I was at keystone then too in 87 over New Years but had no clue about the dead yet.Gr8tfulpair was also working at keystone. He called us gapers as our mouths were supposedly wide open watching locals like him ski.........But then again he was an employee so he was technically our bitch.
