Dead duck

Did you just start said rumor? 😆😂 would be freaking great if that were were the case. Neil and Willie both on boys bucket list. Youngest would actually be disappointed to miss it.

I’m surprised. Not many bands I like sell out in Louisville. Usually smaller crowds for my music here than elsewhere

Had a really good time and it was a really good show NYE. There were like 3 rooms of family and friends of the band that came for the show that I kept entering accidentally. 😂😆 Boys enjoyed it, Luke had his doubts because he hadn’t listened but left impressed. (Throw in an unexpected Beatles cover and you got him) 2nd year in a row I’ve traveled sick for NYE but this was no where near the nightmare Philly was for me last year. Quick 6hours up and back on 75. Parking, Navigation, Hotel, Venue, Security, everything was super easy and relatively cheap. My highlights were willin’, senor, china doll>midnight rider and liked quite a few of his songs as well although I’m not familiar with titles yet. Multiple train based songs I’m a fan of. Lol. Ought to fit in real nice Jubilee late night.

Damn that’d be sweet.

I’m not doing the whole run but I’m 99% I’m heading up for NYE. Place emailed me it’s an all ages show. So this is likely our NYE road trip this year. I’m pretty excited not sure if the boys will be or not. #selfish Christmas present. Lol

I listened to a good portion of that run at work yesterday. I have an email into the venue. Have to be sure before I drop the dough. Lots of all ages places go 21+ for NYE.

Any idea if the NYE show is 21+? My go to NYE went 21+ this year and I always have the boys. Would love to do DSO but east coast is too expensive and complicated for me as Philly repeatedly kicked me in the jewels over 3 days last year.

Maybe that Low Spark baby gets birthed NYE or maybe jubilee? I preferJubilee for extremely selfish reasons

Appreciate your efforts man. Really helps those of us that dont make it to certain areas. Real aNice quality too. Thanks brother.

I’m not familiar with the area at all but if it’s an 8:00 show time you’ll be back out on the streets by 12. Unless they have some “no curfew” rule or something I’m not aware of. Hope this helps.

😆😂😆😆

Oh man. This hurts my heart to hear this shit went down. Hope this isn’t the start of a trend. I wouldn’t be able to identify any of the new fangled things either. As someone who has been bringing kids to shows for years I am used to putting myself in between them and the out of control and I have no problem telling some staggering lunatic that it’s time to relocate. But usually it’s just drunks. I’m very naive probably to the new trendy drugs that has our youth so fucked up and dying like crazy.

Local Billy strings show just announced for here in January too. Liking what I’m seeing so far from the lineup. Although everything after 3 nights of DSO is just gravy anyways. Can’t wait

I’ve always told the boys I want that to lay me down played at my funeral.

I respect the guy as a performer and a songwriter. He has a very dedicated fan base. And I know we can all identify with that. I’ve heard the same positive reviews about his live performances. I’d hold my tongue if I was ever up east. Lol. My boy has a similar dislike for John Mellencamp. And living in Indiana I have to tell him to dial it back. People love that guy round here. 😆😂

So before I start the story I’ll just apologize ahead of time if you are a fan. I am not but didn’t know I hereditarily passed the hatred down until today. Had a a meeting with counselors at my sons school today. Routine thing we do once a year just to make sure he isn’t falling behind in anything. Teachers each sent notes to the meeting and most were just usual stuff. “He is fine” ”well behaved” “no problems” Now some of you know how he is with his knowledge of music and it’s not limited to the Grateful Dead. I’d put him up against just about anyone in music trivia of 50’s 60’s and 70’s music. Anyhow then we get to his radio teachers comments ”Luke is very enthusiastic in my class and is a joy to teach.......... except when he often debates me telling me how Bruce Springsteen sucks and how overrated he is” I laughed through the whole meeting after that. Literally shed tears and offered to excuse myself. 😆😂😆 Again sorry if the Boss is your guy but I had to share somewhere.

Wonder what song brought this on?

My youngest just added that to his record collection last weekend. Killing time in Bloomington record shop picking big bro up at school on the way to Egyptian Room.

I’m ashamed I missed a home state show. Especially after the set list and venue reviews. After the mini run last week I couldn’t swing two weeks in a row. Also love going to Columbus but don’t think that’s in the cards either. Enjoy the road and safe travels everyone

I knew I was leaving something out. Thanks man.

My youngest who is a freak for the old school stuff said tonight’s may have topped Wednesday’s show for him. Got a lot of firsts for him. Oldest got to join us for this one. I may be on the bench from now til jubilee. Hopefully a date will pop up between now and then but enjoy the road and the shows because I know I sure as hell did. *Also may be missing 1 or 2 and order may be off but it should be close. (I had help) lol

He just turned 16, and I think he passed me in height just over this little 3 day run. Oldest got to join us tonight in Indy.

11-30-79 filler: the weight Drums———— holy shit

I let my son off at the door so I could go park and within 5 minutes got a text ’69 down and dirty. Guaranteed”. He was in heaven. Lol

The goods indeed. Highlights for me were alligator, H2H, maybe the best eleven I’ve ever gotten, lovelight, death don’t always sends chills. I dont think I’ll ever get tired of hearing any of the songs played in that “live dead” type 2nd set. Just exactly perfect.
