Forum MVP John A Posted August 24, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I will say that because of the show on the same night we've planned something very special for the folks that do choose to come see us in LA. There will be a DSO first at this show! Game on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffreybload Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Rob- Thanks for the input...really helps to hear the whole story from someone who is so deeply involved. Totally understand that you can't change the whole tour around. I plan on being there on Saturday night. As much pleasure and enjoyment as I've received from Phil/Bobby, etc. over the years, I can honestly say that I am more psyched up to see a DSO show than a Furthur concert. Just too bad that they are both on the same night. Keep on rockin'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted August 24, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 For the record we had our tour book with contracts signed well before Furthur announced. Even if we had not announced to the public. We actually went back to the El Rey and told them and their response was "we are cool with it". We couldn't change a whole tour because of this one show. We figured we'd take our lumps if that's what it comes to. I will say that because of the show on the same night we've planned something very special for the folks that do choose to come see us in LA. There will be a DSO first at this show! Nice ......

Forum MVP Tea Posted August 25, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I was guessing a JGB recreation although I don't see Eaton not singing lead on any tunes. I think I am leaning towards a <69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP nwnj steve Posted August 25, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 maybe a dylan and a dead show ,isn t he out there also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Mango Posted August 25, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I was guessing a JGB recreation although I don't see Eaton not singing lead on any tunes. I think I am leaning towards a <69. how could they do a JGB recreation with a Rhythm guitar player? It wouldn't really be recreation and on top of that it wouldn't be a first.

JenL1125 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I was thinking that a DSO first meant something more like pulling something out that they've never played before. Personally, I hope its jgb. As much as I LOVE hearing Rob rip into tunes, I only ever get to hear great jgb renditions when DSO plays them, and i'd love to see more added to their rotation. Having Dylan show up would be pretty frickin' awesome, tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudds94 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 After what I saw from Dylan in '93, let's hope that if he would show up, that he wouldn't need a guy on either side of him to help him keep standing. He was seriously F#*&ed up that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted August 25, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 We've had this discussion before and a lot of us did stay at Jeff's first Gratefulfest instead of leaving for Furthur. THAT was a no brainer for those of us that stayed. Its not about loyalty. Its not even about the venue comparison. What it is about is what we were talking about with Improvisational music.... DSO has it. Furthur is "controlled" on far too many levels (band doesn't pick set, this is Phil's band and he steers in musically) from fewer people than I would prefer. I feel DSO is actually a band with a group effort towards greatness whereas Furthur is just another band in a long chain of bands that the members of the Dead have kept going with and this IS GREAT because you get to hear each guys take on the music now, but give me some good ol' grateful dead EVERY day of the week. at the Ashekenaz here in Berkeley last night I spent a good deal of time talking about DSO and how they "do it for me" as opposed to other acts. also was plugging David Nelson Band, as they are my fave west coast act- its in the Improv. when you talk loudly and proudly about DSO on the west coast you used to get REALLY freaky looks but you know, now its pretty damn friendly since Rob B came and played with Phil. It's love again. maybe it never left and was just hidden. you don't ever know. we might come to LA that weekend just to have the choice laid before us to choose in the moment. but we ALL know where mango and I would be cause i'd rather be with YOU, dear DSO family and band. they played like a road last night and I thought of penns landing and REALLY missed you guys. when you get confused....... It seems as though the Phil/Bobby combos are now more like a GD cover band and DSO is more like a flat out GD experience with the raw energy and unpredictability, the smaller venues just add a nice cozy, friendly quality with greater impact. Didn't realize Stu Allen was w/ Dylan now, his recent European shows sound better than ever and he seems to be playing more sound conscious venues and music halls.

reckoning Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Didn't realize Stu Allen was w/ Dylan now ????????? you people have all lost your heads. Dylan is not going to show up with DSO. A JGB show would not be a "first" for this band. Put your thinking caps on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenL1125 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I don't think anyone really believes there's a chance that Bob Dylan would actually make an appearance,. It's all just fun conversation. As for MY thinking cap - I haven't seen that darn thing IN YEARS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
