Taper Ron Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 In 2012 DSO performed in 109 venues, in 102 cities, in 36 states and 3 countries (including U.S.) I believe these numbers are reasonably correct, +/- 1 or 2. I have trouble counting over 15. They performed a total of 131 shows: 24 of them were sold out! 80 GD Setlists (16 Sold Out) 49 Elective (8 Sold Out) 2 Terrapin Nation 0 JGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancin' Fool Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Please go back to Pompano Amphitheater! Not sure what happened there (except thunder storms ), perhaps too large?? S. Fla deserves more outdoor shows! My 0.02.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tea Posted January 3, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 How many different songs? (Wasn't there a thread on this previously?) I thought Greg may have posted something on this but I really can't remember. All I know is that I need see a show that features The Eleven. I have been to my fair share of shows and have NEVER seen this tune performed. I know of at least 5 occasions where it was played the show before or the show after I attended. I know, I know....See More Shows! Wife, kids, work, lather, rinse, repeat. When the planets finally allign, maybe I'll catch a Low Spark at the same time.....It's comin....

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted January 3, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Stout - give us show stats, stat! I know you have nothing but time on your hands. And +1 on the Pompano Amphitheater. The dark cloud orchestra deluge show is one of my fav south FL memories. St Stephen>William Tell>Eleven>Low Spark...

Forum MVP Mango Posted January 3, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I remember a time when we weren't sure if we'd ever see DSO play the Eleven....and I remember the first tour in 08 when they broke it out, starting with their 11th anniversary show on 11/11/08. Herdy was the only other board member I knew there. Song really took off though when Mattson joined the band. WTF, only 3 Russian Lullaby's?? What kind of world do we live in?

Mr_Charlie Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I was lucky enough to have caught DSO play the eleven 7/31/10. It was a recreation of 4/22/69 which I believe was the earliest recreation they had done at that time.I also saw Furthur play it on 11/11/11 in Syracuse.You can add me to the elective slut list as well.

sgrmag2564 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm still dying to see Tangled, and as I mentioned many times before, I would love to see this band play Jackson Brown's "Stay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Mike Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've always wanted to hear an Eleven from DSO. The song is a definite favorite of mine, then again I have like 50 favorites. Either way though it seems pretty rare that DSO plays setlists from the 60s, I've yet to see them play a 60s setlist, and 69 might just be my favorite year of the Dead. I'm guessing this is partly due to the fact that the earlier setlists are not as known/shorter in length? They could always combine the sets from two different nights or something along those lines. All I know is Dark Star>St. Stephen>The Eleven>Lovelight is one hell of a jam sequence, and who doesn't love an Alligator, Mountains of the Moon, Viola Lee, or Cryptical Envelopment. Well congrats DSO, you guys kick some serious ass, and way to sell out almost 20% of your shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taper Ron Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 How many different songs? (Wasn't there a thread on this previously?) Count all the songs in 2100+ shows? That there is a right lofty task! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted January 4, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 There is Ed Base, and Greg Base from last year. But the definitive count, to include lot veggie burritos and Disco Pizza slices, would be the labor of a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted January 4, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 About the time last year he undertook the monumental task of counting, cataloging, and categorizing all the songs played in '11. Impressive it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeyedbert Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've yet to see them play a 60s setlist, and 69 might just be my favorite year of the Dead. I'm guessing this is partly due to the fact that the earlier setlists are not as known/shorter in length? The shorter sets of 69 are offset by the longer, psychedelic jams that were more common of the time. 4 song sets feel like regular sets. I've been lucky enough to see two 69 shows and both were like 8-10 songs with a couple of fillers. Still 4 hours of Grateful Dead music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Mango Posted January 4, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't know if the band feels this way or not but it seems to me that 60's shows are best saved for special occasions, or else they start to seem not so special anymore. At least that was my experience after seeing 6-8 of em. That being said, in my book a 'darkstar>ststephen>eleven>lovelight' is always welcome! I think I just prefer the songs played that way but in an elective set, which DSO has done quite a bit and with great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
