Gall dern it, one day I'll catch a 69 show, this looks superb ⚡️⚡️⚡️

What a great night, super high energy in the second set surrounded by many enthusiastic dancers with lots of room to frolic, great to meet up and dance with sudds94 and Northeast, what more could you ask for 😇😇

Looks like a monster!!!!

Deep fried in a Playin batter 🤤🤤🤤

Cassidy and Althea after Dire Wolf, good fun time on a work night, really fun first set.

Welcome to the forum!! The show at the Cap on 11/1 was one of my favorite I've attended, and out of those others you mentioned, I was at the Ithaca show last fall and Asbury Park this summer, had a lot of fun dancing at Asbury park. Ithaca was also a lot of fun, reconnected with a dear friend there, so that show holds a special place in my heart 😃

I stayed toward the back of the floor on either side of the soundboard, but pockets of enthusiasm seemed to be abundant that night 😃

Wow, what a show, I'm feeling pretty hobbled right now from dancing. Seeing an acoustic guitar set up next to Jeff's rig before the show started was one indication we would be in for a special night. We were graced with an enormous amount of dance space and some enthusiastic dancers, all you could ask for to really enjoy last night's concert. Highlights for me were Rob Barraco's solo performance of Katie Mae on acoustic guitar, really sweet. More highlights include a high energy Viola Lee, brought to a frenzied climax with dancers in hot pursuit. Not Fade Away included a few strong teases of China Cat, St. Stephen, and GDTRFB in quick succession, followed immediately by a verse, maybe my favorite part of the night. And We Bid You Goodnight was lovely, a capella with dazzling harmony singing. It was fun, thanks to the band for pulling such an amazing show out of the hat.

I had a spur of the moment chance to make to down and catch the second set of this show, thanks to the kindness of GratefulDevil, who said he had an extra ticket and sent it to me. After hemming and hawing for a while, Jake convinced me to head down, pick him up on the way, and it was way more fun than my original plan of doing stuff in the basement. Highlights for me was Saint Stephen until the end of the show, great time with an enormous amount of dance space, thanks to (maybe) it being a Thursday night and having Dead and Co playing at MSG. Gotta clean up the leaves and get ready for tonight, thank you again to GratefulDevil for getting me out 😃

Hey Jon, I think we may have met at Asbury Park, if you were there. Me and my brother were there, were also from CT, hopefully see you at some of these coming up in November!

That looks like fun 🤤⚡️⚡️

Good ones, I will toss otter and falcon into the mix. Was being silly with squid, although squid are awesome, fast, change colors etc. Some of Mango's crouching maneuvers are kind of tentacular 🐙

Squid?

Sammy definitely has some good bat wing arm moves. Gotta go with tiger for Karl and his martial arts esque style. Rabbit for crazy digits, love his high energy style.

This got me laughing, you got some good ones there and I think you got me pretty good. I'm gonna work on my rhino charge moves for the next time I see you, gonna need a lot of space but if you make it up to Lowell, that place was wide open last year, lots of room for rhino charging 😅

Thanks MC, it's also been my pleasure and blessing (to steal your words) getting to know you and your lovely family. You were taking care of business at Red Rocks, fun to look over and see you expressing your ecstacy. I agree that it was tougher to get a good groove going for the first couple nights in Boulder, just jam packed in there, but being surrounded by people trying to do the same thing was helpful, and I still left completely sodden from exertion 😛

Aw man, it was so much fun dancing with you and our brothers. You were tearing it up too! What a great night. Talking about a step counter, I've thought of putting on a heart rate monitor to see what three hours of intense aerobic activity amounts to 😛 Love yours too. Whenever I felt myself wavering, all I would need is to look around and see you or another of our friends ripping it up and it would keep me goin. Speaking of dancing, we had quite a ripping and symbiotic dance party goin on, and particularly for having somewhat limited space. Was fun to see people blasting back and forth, climbing up and down the three or four rows we were spread out over, twirling and laying the smack down. Lots and lots of fun, so grateful to have made many new friends in this past year, you all have enriched my life in indescribable ways ❤️

It was indeed quite special to experience the quiet among such a large group of people, I felt proud of my fellow audience members to be so attentive and respectful. I agree that the quiet was thick and palpable ❤️❤️

Listening to the original recording of this show tonight, Bob Wagner's killer audience recording. Really special to listen to the GD recording and remember the time I was having during the show, almost like listening back on to our own version of that night, I feel lucky to be alive to experience the music this band brings through right now.

Thanks for taping and sharing, great job on the recordings, nice to see you again!

Forgot to mention, I checked the time as the show ended and the rain began, and it was exactly 11:11, if anyone finds that sort of thing interesting.

One of those perfect nights when I was able to lose myself fully in the music, highlights are a bit tough to recall, it was really lovely the whole way through. Terrapin was special, and it was amazing to hear almost all of Red Rocks get down almost to pin drop quiet during Black Peter. Lisa tore it down with White Rabbit, great to hear that song in that place at the end of the night. The rain held off to within a couple seconds of the final beat of the song, really cool.
