Set list from Rome last night??

Second set glorious Jeff outrageous. Skip as great as I’ve ever heard him

9.5 out of 10 China>Rider transition was insane Second set awe inspiring/TOO thru drums/space and then Dark Star>TOO>OMSN wowza will be there tonight again

Presale today at 10:00 AM CAPDSO will be plenty of tickets available

I’ll be at all 4 Cap shows. 3 first row loge, 1 second row loge. 8th row floor in Poughkeepsie. Floor for Penn’s Peak. might go to Long Island on 11/30 to make it even 7 shows this brings me over 30 shows post-Covid Fired up!!!

I saw Letter to Maria twice as a final encore in PA in NJ last month and it was awesome

Second set beyond highlights were the whole set but both FOTM & Wharf Rat peaked very very strongly wowza Be back tonight 🌝

I live in Wayne, NJ which is the best location in the world for live music!! I see 10 plus jazz/free jazz improvisation shows a month in NYC & Brooklyn. I’m less than a hour from Capital Theatre, 25 minutes from Wellmont Theatre. 2 hours from Kirby Theatre in Wilkes Barre, PA.

Also Phil & Friends on 3/13, 3/15 & 3/16 I’m planning on 3/4 & 3/13. Be signing on for tickets tomorrow AM Have DSO tickets for 3/15, 3/16, 3/22 & 3/23 may add 3/18 Hartford if I can manage the driving:)

Going to 3/15 & 3/16 at Kirby & 3/22 & 3/23 at Wellmont 3/15 on the floor, 3/16 second row mezzanine First row loge at both Wellmont shows

The sound in Red Bank from 7th & 4th row was even better than the sound at Capital Theatre from 1st row loge. All 4 nights the sound was spectacular. No band playing Grateful Dead music *sounds* anywhere as good as DSO.

A step below the 2 previous nights. Those slow tunes in the second set killed all momentum even though FOTD was very good. Best first set performances were Cold Rain, Jed, TMNS, Scarlet & Row Jimmy Let it Grow WAY off what they played at Penn’s Peak. Should be a first set song. The re-entry of the short drums was clunky. Skip’s bass was bombing much stronger on Friday night. Plus I was first row Loge left and usually the sound really kicks from that spot. Was 8th & 4th row floor in Red Bank. Tonight first row Loge right for NYE. Hoping they do the third set primal. We deserve a Dark Star like last year or better yet an Alligator>Caution plus how about a Mason’s Children?? THE MOST undervalued song in the whole canon. H>S>F was good but again with the Travis Bean it did not compare with what they played at Penn’s Peak. Dancin’ was kinda good but me hates S&D. Wharf Rat was good and emotional as always as was A&A but I was finished by then. Then again I’m very spoiled as this was my 13th or 14th DSO show post pandemic

It was even better than the set list. Best non-Dead Half Step EVER best Terrapin I’ve ever seen DSO play and I think I’ve seen 6-7 versions since I started attending the shows in 2018.

As good as a 1984 show could be. BEST non-Dead China>Rider EVAH very good first set. Great second set.
