We will see if they overpaid. Running backs have to fight for every penny much more so than most of the other positions. Saquan is gonna get us over 1500 scrimmage yards and 12 scores this year. We won't feel we overpaid in year 1. I'm predicting over 200 scrimmage yards in first game against Giants.

I love the Saquan pick up for my Birds.

We caught the alligators and shakedown last night at so many roads. Shakedown is a solid solid local dead band. The alligator are loud and obnoxious just like pig music should be but lack the overall chemistry and depth of shakedown.

A babysitter and a nanny are two way different things. So what you're saying is you had a nanny for hyryder? We are staying 10 days in Hawaii making it a family vacation. We will be dipping lil Ricky's feet in that ocean.

I hope you not implying we do. We have a grandma that jumped all over coming to Hawaii with us if we footed most of the bill. It's okay to say you don't have the money but nanny isn't required and the insinuation is insulting to Whitney sfo has been up most of the night the last two nights. Who watch your kid while you were at hyryder?

Mishawaka is can't miss.

I'm thinking of doing Asheville and Wilmington. Whitney wants to show the baby off to the her Illinois friends. Those places are outdoors and we could bring the kids. Have sober family time and keep those damn head phones on the little one. Then just camp in NC and TN before heading to Jubilee. But we will see. I just saw the announcement and have to run it by whitney

Local shows are great but DSO has been giving us some serious destination shows lately. Europe. Jackson Hole. Hawaii. The Greek. Red Rocks. Plus some great festivals. Jubilee Skull and roses etc. I never really loved the National. Oversold. Ass to nuts. Not surprised the band has moved on a bit. You used to get Pocahontas in Va but the police wouldn't leave us alone. They still do DC fairly regular and I haven't been but I hear the new venue there is awesome. 930 club was ass to nuts too.

DSO played liberty after I got out of lock up. Asheville show. I balled. There was that wharf rat at jubilee. The Stella at penns. DSO and this music has brought me to my knees several times. Booked a kick ass Airbnb for this one. Giddy up

Flights booked. Tickets secured. Some around here might say giddy up.

I've seen a few DSO operators if you go to one of the announced acoustic shows it's almost a guarantee.

I wasn't planning on traveling for anything until Hawaii but this is tempting.

It's a man's world

Synchronicity is real and strange. I listened to the DSO epic allgood visions tonight. Just about the same time Dark Star played visions tonight. Can anyone name the year? Better yet who was there. 1. The artist formerly known as MC.

These posts for my amusement are fun. I'm aware that it's not a competition but conversation. I don't harbor strong feelings against Billy Strings. Guys got talent. But I knew I'd get some forum action on that one.

I don't think I can ever rival our boy sunny on that but I got no shows in my near future. It helps pass the time. I'm remember the first time I saw hyryder. They played a DSO after show gig at bar down the street. They was good. I usually don't stay out too late after the show especially when I'm going to the next one or have a longish drive after the show to where I'm sleeping. We stayed the whole time and danced late into the night. I was impressed. I'm still impressed really but I don't like overhype. I could never get into Lebron James cause they crowned him king before he ever played a game. I don't like seeing Billy Strings play bigger venues than DSO. I think he's good but a little overhyped overrated. I know that opinion isn't gonna be shared much on this forum. For instance, I recently listened to Billy do senor and the comments on YouTube were gushing with this is the best version of senor ever. It's like Dylan wrote this song for Billy. I nearly puked in my mouth. Garcia version crushes Billy's. Billy is great don't get me wrong but let's not go crazy. See I need the forums to help me pass the time.

I'm kinda weird Tea. But don't fool yourself into thinking I care too much when I'm drunk posting for my amusement.

I listened to about an hour on YouTube of a hyryder show and then listened to an hour of the second set of darks star. Tea you know it's not even close. Dark star is the real deal.

I love you guys. I'm still fairly active but I consider myself a family man too. It will be almost 6 months between DSO shows for me with the new born. And skull and roses will be a family experience. Maybe Delilah will dig the hyryder she likes to dance. Maybe Toph will take interest in a boy who's dancing and pretend she likes it. Shes starting to curious and she's only 10. Scary times coming.

I meant no disrespect. I'm a DSO groupie to it's core.

Btw theirs no denying the power of relationships and politics, Baracco and Eaton should use their pull to get an FSO appearance here at skull and roses sometime. Been a long time since I've seen or even heard of one of those.

I agree. Great review.

So Tea I've heard you quite the fanboy. Never seen hyryder??? But the band knows you as one of their biggest supporters and fans. 50/100 people waiting to meet you come March when you make your first hyryder appearance. Stu Allen has some pretty intense fans. Definitely some Bay Area peeps that think he should be getting one of the headlining spots. Our own Chuck Vegas used to swear by Cubensis and the short trip from Vegas to LA for a dead fix. Sunday looks like an all out monster day. Even the first band should be special Stu Allen and Ronnie McCoury do Garcia Grisman. I won't leave the concert venue all day on Sunday except to check on my little guy. Ive wanted to post photos but I can't even figure that out anymore on here. Figured it out

Btw if you're coming at Jerry's middle finger and the electric waste band I can understand your point but those slots aren't really that great. We have to eat dinner and regroup for the headliner. Very likely be off site during those slots. I should also mention I highly respect Ed's GD opinions. Guy knows his shit.

I love the hyryder peeps. Do they call themselves ryders? Stu Allen and Mars hotel can be premier act. Zach Nugent has put together some really quality line ups and shows. I loved his disco dead project. Shakedown street is a beloved local Colorado dead band. They play some really quality music as well and they play earlier on Friday. Maybe not same energy as hyryder but possibly move through the quiet moments a little more powerfully. I love the hyryder energy. The don't converse on the level that the headliners here do, although Golden Gate Wingmen are not my favorite. Chimenti steps on people's toes forcing his solos. But that just my opinion. Cubensis is fantastic and the addition of stu Allen could make them even better. Love the chinacats. Skull and roses is a great opportunity for hyryder and love the repeat invite but I'm not sure they are wrongly placed in the schedule. Lots of real quality players out there. Sages and spirit, DSO, Melvin and JGB are on a whole different level. I bet the dead funk summit is incredible as well.
