From @Tea post in the other Ventura thread: FREE Stream for 4/7 to 4/11 (Friday 4/8 is DSO @ 8pm PST) https://fans.live/pages/skull-roses-thu-apr-7 https://fans.live/pages/skull-roses-04-08-22 https://fans.live/pages/skull-roses-04-09-22 https://fans.live/pages/skull-roses-04-10-22

I wonder if there will be a pedal steel guitar on site Jeff could borrow for Looks Like Rain.

Before heading to Europe, Dark Star Orchestra’s Europe ‘72 recreations come to life in the States - 50 years to the day - as the Dead’s 4/8/72 show from Wembley Empire Pool London, England will be performed at the Skull & Roses Festival on April 8 in Ventura, CA. Adding to the band’s authentic sound at these two stateside performances is the presence and participation of Jerry Garcia’s ‘Alligator’ guitar; a 1955 Fender Stratocaster originally used by Jerry on the Europe 1972 tour, shared with DSO’s lead guitarist Jeff Mattson to handle and elevate the specific tones from this legendary instrument. stoke level just jumped a few notches!

Man, that would be FANTASTIC!!!!

Wow, not sure if/when I last saw desolation row on a DSO set list. Hope it went well. Would love to see it pop up from time to time.

Damn - that is a meaty setlist!

fake ending to BIODTL?

I'll certainly be kicking myself in the ass for not going. I have been wanting to make my pilgrimage to the Cap for awhile. When these got announced for some reason I was thinking they were 1st weekend of December and I would have just been getting back from another trip, so I passed. This past weekend would have worked out perfect. And with the Bro and Co shows @ MSG, tickets and space were plentiful. Glad to have seen the Saturday night webcast, which was definitely as good of DSO as I've heard. But damn, I fucked up. 😣

Full on Robert Hunter tribute show man, they are playing with some fire. The intro jams before jack straw and half step unlike any other DSO. Very much like Phil and friends. And the crazy fingers jam was fierce!

Interesting that they did 7/16/76 just a week or so ago and that had an amazing Comes a Time>Other one and this one has Other One>Comes a Time.... and from the song lengths on the archive.org files - this one looks like it should be equally fantastic.

incredible g.dead show! DSO performed it fantastically a few years back, 2012(?) and released on livedownloads.com. Can't wait to hear last night - thanks for all the taping and uploading. Listening to your 9/26 this morning - sounds great!

Fantastic sound quality. And _every_ song seems to have some extra electricity. (BirdSong!!!) Thanks for sharing your recording!

Sure wish they'd do an acoustic set at the Jubilee - maybe 1st set Saturday, and then a JGB set 1st thing Sunday.

I uploaded a handful of videos to youtube. Most are short clips, but got a nice long pull from Watchtower and Black Peter. Youtube Jubilee 2019 playlist

I also sent an email to Tim and All Good. Similar sentiment of placing the "entertainers" there was not a great idea. And the timing of Sunday's set up was horrible! This should be an easy fix for them and we can go back to our blissful memories of the Jubilee.
