  1. I'm going to reserve a room for you two to work all this stuff out together. I'll stock the fridge, don't worry
  2. But I don’t know anything and Europe does seem like big news
  3. I still think this will happen FYI
  4. La Cigale, Paris, France 9/22 & 9/23 Alexandra Palace Theatre, London, England 9/26 & 9/27
  5. DSO at red rocks July 8th would be good again
  6. I’ve wondered before what a non or less than casual fan might think of some of my favorite songs and jams (believe it or not, Pride, Rueben, drums/space) and it looks like now I know. but if I walk through a balcony and see a group of people with their eyes closed, I will no longer assume they are having a blast but seriously, what were you expecting? It’s not a Taylor swift concert
  7. Agreed. I totally want the band to have revenue and the event to succeed, and Jubilee is the only festival I’ve been too where most years the VIP has more people than the general admission, so it makes sense they raised those prices. ill be there in May, looking foreword to some good music and that long trek pack in my camping gear in GA
  8. It may sound crazy, but for a moment I was on the fence for the first time in Jubilee history. I was thinking about the prices of VIP and then I thought about getting a cabin in the Adirondacks that same weekend for fishing and hiking for about the same cost. I was thinking how I’ve seen too many ‘76-78 shows from DSO and how it would probably rain. but then I realized I don’t get to see DSO enough. That when they play really well it never matters what the set list is, and they always play very well at at the Jubilee. I realized there are folks I only see at the Jubilee, and by May, my professional life is so busy I need to get away badly and listen to music. so I bought Gen admission tickets for the first time in years, and I’m excited to be returning. I’ve not missed a Jubilee yet, and I won’t this year either. See you in May. Hoping for weird set lists 🤠
  9. One of my most exciting moments in seeing DSO was seeing the first "Who Was John" in Covington in 2013. I also really enjoyed seeing electric "Big Iron" in 2012
  10. Im at a place where I’m less enthused by 1976-1978 setlists, so when I arrived & saw the set up and the Travis bean, I was a little bit let down (while also absolutely loving that Travis Bean tone, FYI). I decided to make the most of it, trying to place the show. When I head the Bertha>good lovin, I knew it wasn’t 76. When the three slow songs happened in the first set, I realized it had to be 1978. Why they ever needed three slow songs back to back, I don’t know, but DSO played them like consummate professionals. Eaton won me over with his slide guitar all night, and Barraco was playing really well. At set break I figured out it was 9/16/78, and wondered how the second set would actually go. it went fantastic! The energy grew and bounced between a great crowd and the band and it is in those moments I felt some lift off. it’s a reminder to me: no matter my headspace or what the set list looks like: when the band is playing well, it doesn’t matter what the set list looks like. I had a blast in Asheville! Thanks DSO!
  11. Listen to the stagger Lee on the original show 2/7/1979, then compare it to the stagger lee a week before. I’ve never heard Garcia so slow before or after. DSO did a fantastic job, but the set list they played was: Set 1: Don't Ease Me In ; Mama Tried > Mexicali Blues ; Jack-a-Roe ; Looks Like Rain ; They Love Each Other ; New Minglewood Blues ; Stagger Lee ; I Need A Miracle > Bertha Set 2: Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain ; Dancing In The Street > drums > Black Peter > Good Lovin' Encore: U.S. Blues Filler: Love the One You're With
  12. I just want to say thanks to the band, Tim Walther productions, and everyone of you I met up with-I had a spectacular weekend, one of my favorite Jubilees yet. The shows each night were perfect, the crowd was perfect, and that Waffle House in Jeffersonville, Ohio on the way back home to KY was perfect (as always-its the standard by which all WH should be judged). As long as Jubilee's continue, and as long as I can, I'll spend my memorial day weekend there. Thank you!
  13. My understanding is that if you are parking by day and staying elsewhere at night you do need to purchase the $25 car camping pass in addition to your regular ticket
  14. Actually I got home from my daughters theater performance and caught the second set from home ala streaming
  15. The drums & space really spoke to me…really well done
  16. My lovely wife will be singing backup for Lemongrass on Saturday so be sure to give any early dance moves you have to spare…see you soon 🤠
  17. I’ll take the heat. The cold rain can go away
  18. I remember Barraco fondly playing the Walrus during Phil tour 2001..always a good time
  19. In my Grateful Dead tape collecting and listening career, 1976 shows are my least favorite. They still are, but DSO covering them has made them waaaaay more interesting. Especially when Jeff plays the Travis Bean
  20. edit the comments about last years rains and multiple fests-I see that Rude already said that. I'm thinking its been less rain so far this year than last, thankfully
  21. I love that original show- I would have enjoyed seeing this one
  22. After I got off tour in 2001, I got married, had 3 babies, worked full time while full time getting undergraduate & graduate degrees and we had no family for 600 miles. Then as we worked our way into better jobs, we had many of the same experiences of no money or no time off that was allowed. All that to say: I totally get it. Even now, though I have more free time and flexibility, with my oldest about 20 & in college, my 14 & 16 year old are happy and healthy and still in school & participate in stuff that keeps us really busy. But I wish you luck on her time off for your mental health excursions, because trust me- I know how helpful they are
  23. I just got a room and a ticket for June 17 in Asheville. Haven't been to the Salvage station, looking forward to a post-Jubilee pre summer show
  24. When I was touring full time, Summer 2001 was my only time I really caught SCI. The summer tour tangled a bit with Phil's tour and I coordinated a few of their dates in the West/Midwest in the midst of Phil tour to make traveling easier. The SCI shows in Colorado & midwest in Summer 2001 were fun-the audience was really young and different than Phil tour, and we were some of the only vendors for many of those shows-not too unlike DSO shows.
