1/12/79 Spectrum, looks like a great setlist. Two 79s to start off the tour, one Brent and one Keith and Donna, interesting!

Missed it but yesterday was SPAC 6/18/83, one of the greatest second sets. Feels like the band is at the helm of ship navigating wild seas. I’m sure the storm going on during the show adds to that feeling, which by all accounts was wild in its own right. One of my all time favorites, great ambience from the audience recordings.

I want to hear a Help>Slip>Gimme the Loot 😄

Dream show right there, this is one of my birthday shows so I’ve listened to it a bunch 🔥🔥🔥

Love the non edited setlist as you grabbed it asap from the show. The typos are fun. Looks like a smoker 🔥

Love the Rude/TB dynamic here on the forums when it comes to your current take on seeing shows. You both present the same case every time😂 My busiest year was 29 in 2019 and I doubt I’ll ever see that again. The kids are getting bigger and I want to give them more time, and I’ll admit to feeling burnt out if I’m seeing more than a few on the tour. I’ve seen a bunch of shows and I’m glad to make it fit in as I can, but I’m gonna do my best to try to make it to these 😄

This was one of those shows that reminds me why I like to keep coming back. Amazing energy the entire show, especially Scarlet Fire, where everything expanded and you could feel the whole room lifting. Killer jam out of drums, ferocious entry into Johnny B Goode where I thought it was just the two step part of Aroundx2. Everyone I talked to post show and the following day mentioned the Scarlet Fire and how good it was 🔥🔥

The Rochester minor league baseball stadium show is fun, they usually play there every year. Not a huge venue but still a fun time and great place to see DSO.

Recently tried Mike’s Amazing Mayonaisse, if you see it in the store it may be worth breaking your allegiance to your favorite brand to give it a shot. Good stuff 👍

Hey Jen, depending on heavily sold the venue is (which will probably be the case on NYE) sometimes they will wristband for the floor, so you could only get down there if you have GA. If it’s packed, though, the floor will be tough to find a space to dance. You’ll still be able to get down to the front lobby section, which is ok for space albeit a little quiet. Some dancers will also take up residence in the upper hallway, also pretty good for space but not very loud. Hope this helps, see you there!

This show was indeed killer, I left the venue completely soaked from dancing my brains out the entire night in the upper balcony floor. Looking forward to the Cap run for New Years 🌋⚡️🌪️

Well, that’s a great review! Glad you got out to see a show and great to see a good ole happy, detailed, glowing review!

Just did a quick dive, and wow! Great job and thanks a lot. I’ve wished for a searchable online Deadbase and this feels like just the thing, amazing work ⚡️⚡️

I talked to a guy like this at a show, he was so mad about the setbreak and drums and space in particular and also saying how these guys aren’t the Grateful Dead and being mad they didn’t play Terrapin or Eyes or another one of his favorites. Pretty sure he left during drums and space. I thought it might be the same guy but the show I saw was an 85 smoker at the Stone Pony. This guy was really going out of his way to communicate to me how shitty of a time he was having 😂😂

We gotta get back with the kids and see more stuff, need some time there to explore.
