Last years weather was probably my least favorite in all my years attending, minus the hurricane the first year that shut down music. I mean, I can take the cold of 2013 (I happened to pack long johns by a random mistake, throwing them in my bag, and OMG it was like I won the lottery). But it was a "dry" cold for the most part, and if you danced hard or got next to a fire or warm grill, you could maintain. But last years weather sucked. The cold rain and wind was bone chilling, especially because it had been fairly warm in the weeks prior. I loved the shows, despite the pods, but lets all request some perfect weather for 2022. Lows in the 50's and highs in the upper 70s. Its too early in the season, but I'm jonesing for some DSO and some time away already

the 11/3/65 demo was on of the first tapes I ever received in a trade. I listen to it quite a bit. Can't Come Down would be awesome to see & hear

Well....not so fast. I live in KY, right outside Lexington. Last year the schools delayed announcing when graduation would be, so I purchased tickets to Dark Star Jubilation. A few weeks prior to the event, the schools decided graduation would be on the same weekend. I had the same thought: who in their right mind would schedule a graduation on a three day weekend? Well, they did. and my wonderful son was graduating. So I did what any loving father would do. I did both! Woke up around 3 am on the first night, drove like a bat out of hell, showered & changed in truck stop, and arrived early, clean, and suited up in Lexington where the ceremony was. Afterwards, celebrated with lunch and a celebration at home, and much joy was to be had. Then I immediately jumped back in my car and made the 4 hour trek in record time and pulled back into Legend Valley, back to my tent, grabbed a couple of beers, and walked into the bowl as DSO took the stage again. It was a whirlwind, but I did successfully manage to attend a much needed festival after covid and also celebrate my Son's awesome achievement. Win win. But yes, even in KY, graduations are planned for Memorial Day Weekend.

It was a show that happened really quick. It was basically conceived and announced in 24 hour period Um, like the Steely Dan with dead overtones

Grateful Sunday Presents: Friday Show The Fishtank, Lexington, KY, Friday, 2021-12-17 ~|~ Feel Like A Stranger Mama Tried> Mexicali Blues West LA Fadeaway Ya Mar (Phish) Loser Pretzel Logic (Steely Dan) Ramble On Rose* Jack Straw* Tough Mama (Dylan) Music Never Stopped* ~||~ Don’t Let Go* Peg (Steely Dan) Cumberland Blues* Rubin and Cherise* Viola Lee Blues* Tore Up* China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider* Run Run Rudolph ~~~~~~ Lee Owen, Guitar Brandon Bowlds, Guitar Rob Barnes, Bass Brad Slutskin, Keys Dino English, Drums *with Jenny Adkins on back up vocals This little show at the Fishtank in Lexington was one of the better shows I’ve seen in a year. Lee and Brandon traded rhythm and lead guitar on every song outdoing one another and raising the energy level higher and higher, while Rob Barnes and Dino kept the groove jumping with their bass and drums locked in. The Viola Lee Blues and Dont Let Go were serious highlights and had amazing jams in them. walked in thinking I’d have a couple drinks and a decent time, but the music was stunning.

VIP tickets also ordered, here’s looking forward to one of my favorite weekends

Thanks for the announcement! Looking forward to this weekend:

It was great to see you again, and it was a good show and a great crowd. See you soon!

This is a weird response. Take a deep breath rabbi

Saw Dinosaur Jr again last night- my previous show was 2009. Great show. First time visit to Brooklyn Bowl (Nashville edition). I was always skeptical about bowling and shows, but it totally worked. I thought it was a fantastic venue. Most venues feel like a place that is designed with minimal thought to fans except to take their money, and at least at this one, you were deceived into thinking that someone designed it so music fans could enjoy themselves.

Nope

Ran into Ammagamalin Crew last night at Born Cross Eyed show in Louisville. good to see you!

They’ve definitely felt much more chatty on stage and robs definitely been higher energy this tour. I’ve appreciated both. See you all down the road!

Night number one I was having trouble catching my groove. Night number 2 was the complete opposite- stellar performance and the crowd energy was much higher. I was sitting next to the soundboard and had a wonderful evening and the notes were everything I needed. Love Eatons new Gibson…sounded fantastic

I’m there for both nights now. Looking forward to it..

I saw the Decemberists at this venue. Weirdly enough, it never works out that I can see DSO locally it seems, but I will be there Saturday.

I had a great weekend and Saturday night show was great. For the Saturday show, I arrived back from graduation ceremonies in KY 10 minutes before DSO came on- perfect timing. I also pulled off another DSO event doing what I do best: hiding anonymously among a crowd avoiding anyone I might possibly ever know dancing to my hearts content. This was a much needed pick me up for a really weird dry spell and year.

I wish I would have acted faster on the Billy Strings legend valley tickets.

Sorry I missed you-its the first sunday I've missed since the comeback. I got my first cold in a year, and it laid me low

Im thinking the folks complaining about dancing while masked didn’t read the jubilation info. There’s no mask requirement within the pod people purchase, just to and from. but...FB doesn’t always represent the our best and brightest

It sucks that tour and many other events are cancelled for the next few weeks. It also sucks that my work trip to St. Pete got cancelled. I want all of us to be healthy, and I also want and hope that the weather warms up and perhaps it helps mitigate the virus and maybe by then, the Jubilee will be a chance for all of us to get back outside and together to celebrate life together. Stay healthy, friends

Yes I've been checking every 5 minutes to see if the setlist was available.

I can't wait to catch a "believe it or not"

I forgot about that one. I was there! They wouldn’t let us out of the venue at set break- but awesome show, and awesome jam out of Terrapin

I last saw Desolation Row by DSO in February 2012
