Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted November 21, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Review from someone who was there... "Bobby is Bobby. His eyes were piercingly blue and he seemed focused and upbeat. His guitar playing could hardly be called rhythm guitar, more like rhythmic shards, but it was weird in all the right spots and often played a fine counterpoint to John's playing. Joe Russo is a beast and he and Phil are one the most simultaneously strong and flexible rhythm sections I've ever seen. I could finally hear Jeff Chimente, which was a huge improvement. His solo in Let it Grow was one of the best things of the night. This band is really improving and could continue to go to some "new" interesting places. The energy level alone makes it worth seeing. Furthur would lap the Dead at leat 10 times in a one mile race." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advisory Board Dr. Barry Posted November 21, 2009 Advisory Board Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just one question. Did JK sing the Garcia parts? I know that the playing was great, that is a given... Dr. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just one question. Did JK sing the Garcia parts? I know that the playing was great, that is a given...Dr. B JK sang Althea. Bobby and John traded off verses on Hey Jude and Help. Phil sang Franklin's. BTW there didn't seem to be too many obvious Starheads there, but my friends and I were dead center on the rail wearing DSO t-shirts! Hahaha!!!

I am thinking of one guitarist in particular. John was awesome! He totally injects this band with understated finesse and deep soul energy. It did seem that the way the sound was set up his guitar was quieter, but that could have been due to where I was (front center). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutrino Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Phil sang Franklin's. Well, maybe you had to be there, but that sounds like a really bad call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted November 21, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just one question. Did JK sing the Garcia parts? I know that the playing was great, that is a given...Dr. B We already know that they have given Althea to John and that Weir shares Terrapin and Help and Phil sings Franks. There are already rules in place, believe it or not. The one thing we don't know is which player is going to sing which Garcia ballad. Here's my guess for some of them... Stella: John Dew: Weir/John Peter: Weir Standing: Weir/John Rat: Phil/John Doll: Weir/John Mountains: Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one more of the last great Jerry ballads: So Many Roads I would certainly rather hear John do this one by himself, but it could very well be the three man effort you predict for Days Between.

You would think if you stood out in the rain for hours to see these guys in a small club, you would really be interested in hearing the music--not yapping away with your friends. I have never understood this phenomena, but it really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mind Of A Squirrel Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Several folks are conspicuous in their absence from any mention in the review. I am thinking of one guitarist in particular. I dunno Chuck, this line mentions John, and almost makes it sound as if Bobby is merely there in a support role for 'THE MAN': "often played a fine counterpoint to Jon's playing" By the way, a whole winter tour is posted on the furthur site now... One show 20 minutes from my door! yeehaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is a work in progress and the February dates are interesting...so my love/hate relationship with all things related to air travel will continue.

I have never understood this phenomena, but it really sucks. Talking at shows is the worst! but here, I didn't notice it much in this clip. Seems like everyone was focused on the music and dancing. Really like the jam in this song, it's awesome that Phil is still writing and being able to perform new songs. Must be cool for John to be playing a brand new song Phil wrote that hasn't been played in another band. Around 6:15 they went into a different groove in a split second... this is a good sign, this band is only going to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more thing. We'd all heard that Bobby had to end at 10:30-10:45 to get to Mark Karan's album release party. A friend was at that show and says this, "The kicker is Bobby showed up and played for a half hour around Midnight. They did a nice Sugaree, an inspired Hey Pocky Way, and then Dylan's Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You-> Lovelight." Sounds fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP New York Steve Posted November 21, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I suppose i was hoping for more...different material, perhaps, but as Dave pointed out, I can not imagine a Dew without John.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crazy digits Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Lets just pray for Althea when we see furthur shows....Maybe they'll do it every night like 1980...to give JK a shot at singing....we can only hope.. BTW, I agree that this will be the best post GD band with members of the original GD....I am really looking forward to seeing JK in this band...I finally have wrapped my noggin around this concept..

I was thinking the same thing. Or they could also give him Loser, Deal, Row Jimmy, Candyman, Peggy-o and Duprees and just rotate one of those every show. I don't even think they would think that was pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
