Forum MVP Mango Posted February 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 That is a seriously long show. My kind of show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 12, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Serious long show. 8-12:15. They got us all sweaty at the end. Look at those 3 dancers to end 2nd then US blues encore. No time to catch your breath. Great way to end a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP found Posted February 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The next show, I think 5/21/74, is the night of the longest playing in the band... 46 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Mike Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm guessing the "DSO Jam" was a Mind Left Body Jam? I always love a good MLB jam. Does this sound a bit like the jam they played Rude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Charlie told me so Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Wow what a show, would have lost at least 20lbs shaking to this one....Cant wait for Orlando and Cleawater....it would be a perfect set up for a 5/22/77 Pembroke Pines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Charlie told me so Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yes I am sure they already have the set list already set for these shows, who knows maybe we will get lucky! May 77 is off the hook, possibly one of the tightest smooth flowing shows i have heard, too bad I was only 9 at the time but I live vicariously from the accounts of those who attended and my Dicks Pics Volume 3 CD. I am a little anxious for the Orlando show, I have just moved into the area about 2 years ago and I have decided to take my disc golf crew or at least 6 of them to this show with my wife and I. These are not just newbies to Dark Star but newbies to the Grateful Dead Experience all together, in fact they only know a few of the radio played dead tunes but I keep telling them to keep an open mind and be prepared to have it blown! It is too difficult to explain the experience to them, when I play live dead to them I tell them this is the 2D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Charlie told me so Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 oops hit send too fast...lol I tell them the live dead they hear on my ipod is 2D and you need to see it live where it becomes 3D.....and thats what makes the Dead so amazing! Of course I have to tell them how I was lucky enough to the see the Dead 150 times while Jerry was still alive and they missed there opportunity, but DSO in my opinion caries that torch delightfully and often times in my opinion more energetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 12, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm guessing the "DSO Jam" was a Mind Left Body Jam? I always love a good MLB jam. Does this sound a bit like the jam they played Rude? I'm not sure mike. I know they left TRuckin and went into a jam then saw the dead show had a jam so changed it to DSO jam. Can't remember the jam.

Forum MVP Dead duck Posted February 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Was a marathon for sure. Great stuff. Was completely worn out after this one. My first 1 drummer show. Highlights for me were BIODTL and the WRS. 2nd set was a sweatfest for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 12, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Was a serious exhausting show. My 1st 1-drummer too. I agree with duck and have to add El Paso and Loose Lucy was one of my favs of the night. About the slowest Peggy-o I've heard. Many versions were the slowest I've heard DSO play. Seemed like it was all leading up to the dancefest at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanShepherd Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 By far, the longest DSO show I have ever been to. Got our money-money's worth for sure. Dino must've been exhausted. I know I was - I only made it into the DSO/Mind Left Body jam and then had to call it a night. Not as young as I used to be, I guess, or it could be the 8th show in a row, on a night where I had to work in the morning and drive to the venue the same day. Either way, the venue was pretty cool. Skimming the history, this place was some type of bourbon warehouse back in the day, and now it has pool tables up front and a huge open space in the back. Parking is ample and at $5 is a pretty fair deal, even if the lots were all dirt. The bar is gigantic, and there was lots of room to spread out. Frisk-free entry and re-entry I think, with the wristband. Easy access to the restrooms, though only 4 of the 6 toilets actually worked, so the place needs a little maintenance. Otherwise, nice layout. The entire first set was smooth. Scarlet not paired with Fire was a surprise. Me and Bobby McGee was welcomed by the coal mines of Kentucky crowd, and El Paso was nearly flawless. Loose Lucy was a main event, and I have learned there were only 3 Money Moneys played by the Dead, so this would have been an easy show to trace. In my show run, I hadn't seen China Rider yet so this was a great way to end the set. Got another $5 draft and on to the second set. Weather Report Suite was so good, I think it was almost (*almost) better than Wharf Rat. It was odd to end Wharf Rat without going directly into the next tune. I'm used to it morphing into the next upbeat tune to drag you from the doldrums of the docks of the city. Peggy-O was certainly slow, and when they nailed Truckin' and the yawns became too oppressive, my wife and I jetted and it was a great night anyhow. 4 hour drive in the morning to Nashville and we're on the way.
