vbf3 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 One of the longest shows I have seen in awhile, first set lasted until almost two hours. Great stuff!! Fun to see Lisa come out and play harmonica on the pig pen songs, she has mastered that instrument. I very much enjoyed seeing a fat 1969 set list, only disconcerting part for me was seeing Skip in the stand in the middle with Eaton on the side a la 1969. . I had to leave before the end, not sure if there was anything after Cosmic Charlie. Thank you DSO, come back soon......

Forum MVP Tea Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 That 1st set would have had me ALL jacked up - The 2nd would have had me outta my skin. Holy freaking cow!!! An excellent show to choose! More reviews please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP GoingBackTo Where.... Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I get frustrated with the dso lottery!! Would die for this show. Glad some ears got to absorb the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm with you Sun. This would've worked perfect to the big out door smiling crowd at Black Mountain. Now to guess when the next 69 will pop up. I'll take bets. Over under 20 shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Evangeline Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 They played Box of Rain as the filler after Cosmic. An absolutely incredible show!!! Wow! Very fitting for Jeff's and Rob's hometown Long Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 This show fits everywhere. We want more early shows 69 thru 71 with Pigpen. Think April 71. More December 69. You guys get the idea. I'm not alone. Your fans want this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher44 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 They played this show at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair back on 12/28/10, and it was a monster of a performance then. I can only imagine that the band took it even further into the stratosphere with Skip on board. Long, intense, dark & scary at times, and blazingly jubilant during other points. So glad folks there got to experience a '69 recreation, as they are, indeed, rather infrequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Evangeline Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 A really interesting and transitional period in the Dead's history. The resulting set list spanned cowboy songs to total psychedelia and was very surprising in an excellent way. I just loved this show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I was at the wellmont gig as well. Thanks for jogging my memory. I feel a tiny bit better about missing this one. Never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP GoingBackTo Where.... Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Agreed.......danced for 3 days in the rain!!!! I am not complaining, except for the ass who put the straw grass down 2nd night at Poca!!! Love Eatons voice, and though I tend to give Bobby shit, I love the music produced, and Eaton does it so well!!!! Was really hoping for a show like this especially for those who gave it there all in the dancing rain, and than nearly went hypothermic getting back to the campground. A wise man, and I will never forget said....."its not easy on this side" No its not, by a far stretch...... Love you DSO.......just want to hear your talents!!!! Wolf Trap was great, but it must of been the shortest set of all of GD. Your filler kicked ass, and your drums was very fun to dance too. I got others dancing to the beat!!! Please no one think this is a negative, just a hope that when I see again, I get some of the above!!! Really would of gave up all three nights for the setlist played last night!!!! I am just a follower though, so my words mean little, but my heart is as big for this stuff as anyone and everyone else's!!! Lost a lot of precious things to come to your shows!!! Your that good, and I crave it that much, hope you give us rarities more often, cause you all know how to play them....oh so fucking well!!!! Thanks DSO, Thanks for giving it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamminOnThe1 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I assume the 60 ' s sound must be harder to produce. I guess that could be why the 60 ' s recreation seems to be more rare. I think I have heard 60 ' s Style electives but not an actual recreated show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input, Rob! I was sure this show had been played at the Wellmont, and looked it up on this website's setlists just to make sure my memory was not playing tricks on me, and sure enough it shows that it was 12/11, not 12/12. Either way, I bet both the band (like you said) and crowd were smiling their collective faces off last night . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP found Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I was at the Wellmont show and last night and can definitely confirm they played the same show. MC, I met you that night. Look where we are now. Anyways, if you're gonna do a show twice, this is the one to do! Fucking smoked it. Better than first time. Through and through, one of the best shows I've seen in quite some time. Big dancing in the back. Dark star Stephen eleven Cumberland killed it. Really great flow to both sets. Big dew to open the second set. DITS had a really good jam in it. Monster other one, almost cataclysmic. Words can't do this show justice. Sneaky hometown show on a Tuesday night brings out the best in the band. On to copaigue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franknkeene Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 did L.I. get this whopper of a show because of the complaint that was rendered about the last The Space show? This tours' Westbury show was indeed no "small town, boon docks" type (as quoted by the reviewer). This tours' Westbury show seemed to be the consumate grease on the squeaky wheel. Oh, Im just Jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher44 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Heck, even Nugs.net has the incorrect date for this show! They list it as 12/11/70, but the Dead did not even play a show on that date! Whomever is reponsible for this egregious error, please change it to reflect the correct date of 12/11/69. Thank you.

Forum MVP Mango Posted August 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The 69 is out for the tour but I've still got my money on an iso elective, early style. I've seen multiple duplicates over the years. Most notably was at this same venue, repeating a Europe 72 show they had played in Brooklyn a year earlier. Found was at both as well.
