Dead duck

Went to Grateful Dead night at Redwings game Saturday. First hockey game and was just used to mask a dispensary run before the holidays 🤣😆. Lucky enough it turns out it was Grateful Dead night and there was a band “raising the dead” or something close to that before the game and I had a really good time. Good tunes, game went to OT and home team won. It was a fun trip

If I do I’ll be solo. And a game time decision at that. I’m assuming these shows will be inside?

Luke went. He enjoyed it.

I went to see them in ‘19 at Willie Nelson’s outlaws tour with Willie, Phil, Allison Krause, Avetts, and old crow medicine show and some others. What struck me about the Avetts was how much fun it seemed they were having on stage. And the show was enjoyable ta boot. This was the show that finally checked Phil off the concert hit list for the boys.

You definitely picked a couple good ones to come out for.

Missing this one hurts. Seeing the glowing reviews is therapeutic but I must hear that encore somehow ❤️❤️

Jack Staw and Liberty missing from set 1 😉 this show was jammed packed

LTGTR box liberty Jack Straw All over now So many Roads MrCharlie Last Time Honkey Tonk Women Satisfaction 2 Sugar mag Easy Wind Mystery train Easy Wind Terrapin (extra suite parts)*^ Drums Playin Visions Playin SSDD E. Touch I could have named maybe 6of these without the boys. 🤣😆 We feel like this is pretty close if not it. Holy moly man what a show. Band was on fire. Having a blast it seemed especially for the Charlie Watts tribute. Place was magic. Awesome people everywhere you went. Early ass 6:00 show tho. Back to Motel, showered and Luke already smashed Mexican Leftovers and in bed by 11. 🤣😆 bout to go find me some snacks. Night

Wonder what’s with the early showtime? Is Asheville a weird curfew town? Tix and site says doors @ 5 show @ 6

We had to have gotten on the bus right about the same time because I think that may have been around my 3rd show after Egyptian Room (my 1st) and Bogarts (boys 1st) of that year. It may be my favorite show. Definitely the most unique. Lisa sang chimes and brought down the house. I hung in the balcony with my cousin and my Uncle who has since passed. Good times great show

If you go to venue site 2 day pass is $65 👍

https://www.darkstarorchestra.net/tour-dates/ not sure if this is helping or not but see if you can get where you need to be thru here.

That was definitely the last one I remember

I thought he was full of shit when he kept saying he knew the show and I should too. But he wouldn’t tell me. He wanted me to hear the Louie Louie but I kept bugging him and he broke during setbreak and told me. Lol. Every year we talk about getting the Louie Louie show in Louisville and this year was the first time they drove to the show on their own so we didn’t bring it up also Saturday happened to be lukes 40th show

Man what a show. Dance party USA. Love the early Eyes and Lucy, that whole 2nd set gave no breaks. Ran into my High School pot dealer who I hadn’t seen in 25 years probably. Hugged like a long lost brother 😆🤣 he had his 8 year old daughter with him and it was just such a great weekend even with the short set fri night. Also like 90% sure I saw a cousin who I didn’t know was a deadhead with her kids too. That shit has to be in our blood at some level. I have too many distant relatives that are heads. Only 90% because the more enhanced I am the less confident I am in my ability to recognize faces. So if you wver see me staring at you with a stupid look on my face it’s because I’m trying to decide if we know each other or you just slightly resemble (sometimes not at all) someone I know. *Lisa bout took me out with that HMT what a freakin weekend man. ✌️

I’m hoping weather cooperates. 🤞 no lightning🤞 My buddy who isn’t really a deadhead is going. When his boy was little I let him have a bandana of mine. He’s 12 now and my buddy says he sees him wearing that bandana in the yard he knows he’s listening to the dead. 😆🤣 Tonight he is taking his boy to the show.

Only the front sections are covered unless they’ve extended the roof since last time I was there.

Iroquois is ok venue but trading in a wide open lawn for a fully seated amphitheater is less than ideal. Not to mention I have a ton of people going who all bought tickets for different areas. I knew it wouldn’t have been a problem on the river but at IQ we will definitely be fighting security to cross sections and sit together. Kinda turned my excitement into stress and uncomfortableness lol Stupid Louisville did this to Bobby in the 90’s, bumped him from the Louisville Palace to the basement bar stage of some pool hall. He didn’t come back to Louisville for like 10-15 years after that

Looks like we got bumped off the river to Iroquois Amphitheater. Maybe due to all the rain?

How the F did I leave the Dew out? I’ll carry that shame for the rest of my days. 🤣😆

I did the Aces back to back fest near legend valley. Ekoostik Hookah Thursday, Hyryder and Rumpke Mountain Boys fri and sat with them even playing a joint set Saturday. Hyryder tried to kill me with the 2nd set Friday night Mighty high, Eyes, Viola Lee, Darkstar, wharf rat Darkstar truckin Chinatown shuffle. I may be missing one or two still in there. The joint set had a cover of Isis that was one of my highlights of the weekend and Rumpke capped the weekend off with an electric set featuring Steve Sweeney that was just raunchy mind blowing stuff. Boys couldn’t go and it was a spur of the moment solo dad trip and I made the most of that shit.

So happy for little man. That’s some feather in cap stuff right there. He’s off and running to a good start. Enjoy tonight’s freedom. Lol

You don’t even realize you’re dancing to “Let’s hear it for the boys” at 8:30 AM ona Saturday until you see all the people in the grocery store staring at you. 🤦🏻

Maybe for the premium section up front. I didn’t have one.

They came back out and played the weight. I listened to stream from Drums thru the end.
