Forum MVP John A Posted October 4, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Elective, and a kick ass one at that. Feel Like A Stranger Althea All Over Now To Lay Me Down Passenger Blow Away Dupree's Diamond Blues Black Throated Wind Tangled Up In Blue (I am mostly sure of that order - did not write anything down though) Scarlet->Fire Weather Report Suite (Eaton acoustic through middle of Let It Grow) Foolish Heart-> Drums-> Space-> Need A Miracle-> Mr. Fantasy-> World To Give-> Around & Around (e:) Quinn The Eskimo The jam in Lay Me Down was brilliant. Final Tangled Jam became unhinged. The 2nd Fire solo tore the place down. The World To Give was unworldly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Evangeline Posted October 4, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Sounds incredible! Wish I could have been there--very social venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted October 4, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 very social venue. Indeed. Also music in the restaurant/bar from when I showed up at 5 pm through when I left after midnight. Outdoor patio packed for dinner, and beaufiful sunset out by the canal. Gave Rob B a taste of a few Russian River vino gems. At the end of the Lay Me Down jam I had a vision of Jerry hovering on stage next to Mattson, patting him on the shoulder, and saying, "nicely done, son." Seriously.

Pdxhead Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Supah fun!! That was the first time I've been to the Crossroads and I had a blast. The place was way more intimate than I expected. It seemed like everyone could reach out and shake hands with the band. Highlights of the first set were a sweet and harmonious To Lay Me Down and a rippin Black Throated into Tangled. Lisa was haunting in between the Scarlet and the Fire, reminding me of a shamanic priestess chanting a healing song from another dimension. Weather Report was lovely as always and such a gift to hear it played in full. Rob E tore into I need a Miracle and Rob B sang a masterful Fantasy. As always the band gives its all...with such love and care. Thanks you thank you thank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tea Posted October 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Elective, and a kick ass one at that. Mr. Fantasy-> World To Give-> Around & Around (e:) Quinn The Eskimo The jam in Lay Me Down was brilliant. Final Tangled Jam became unhinged. The 2nd Fire solo tore the place down. The World To Give was unworldly. So star base listed the end as: Dear Mr. Fantasy > Visions Of Johanna > Around And Around Encore: Mighty Quinn For obvious reasons - I need to know which one is right. I'm assuming WTG is right, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted October 6, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I need to know which one is right. I'm assuming WTG is right, right? That's a pretty safe assumption, given that the other possibility is that I heard Visions and had, well, a vision that I was really hearing World To Give. I wonder if that suggests they had initially planned to play Visions but made a last minute switcheroo. If so, it's a good trade if you ask me.

I like WTG ~ Jeff Slayed it at Blk Mtn ~ but I'm not sure I could ever call that a GOOD trade. It's not a bad one of course, but I would take Visions every day of the week. I'll admit that my 'Vision' is decidely skewed in this case. Glad TXR had so much to offer - I hope that included just a little dancin space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP found Posted October 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think that trade is just about a wash. Gun to head, give me Visions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted October 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 So does anyone know how the band goes about deciding on an elective setlist? I heard it said at a show that they play songs typically that don't get played often by one of the members. Maybe that was just because it was a tour closer. Does one of them draw up a possible set and then all have a parlay before the dance par- Tay? Or just all hash it out from the beginning? Is it written down the day of? Is it ever a free form evolution roughed in so there is musical exploration where maybe Visions got subbed on stage for WTG, for instance? This has probably been discussed before...,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted October 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 They generally all say in interviews that Eaton does all the sets before the tour starts trying to minimize duplicate songs and eras based on what they played at a venue previous and what they played previous nights of the tour. But I'm sure that band members have songs they want to play in electives and fillers. Also time is a factor as they may not have time for a song. I've seen a setlist b4 where they removed a song for time constraints. But I'm sort of a newbie so I'll defer to the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Vortex Posted October 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Whoops. It was World To Give. Fixed. Eaton prepares the tour book before the tour however elective set lists are chosen day of show (usually) by Jeff and Rob (and whoever else may be floating around... it's a discussion). Generally speaking everyone else is cool with whatever is picked but other factors may enter such as what Brent tune or Pig tune to play ect.

Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted October 6, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 If so, it's a good trade if you ask me. I like WTG ~ Jeff Slayed it at Blk Mtn ~ but I'm not sure I could ever call that a GOOD trade. It's most certainly a good trade in my book. Visions is undoubtedly one of the biggest songs ever to find its way into our galaxy but, to my mind, it's somewhat unique in its glory to Mr. Garcia. Anyone else (other than, possibly, the guy who wrote it), no matter how large a talent they possess, can only do so much in comparison (and Dstone isn't one to compare anything regarding this stuff, in fact he abhors it!) so take this as a RARE exception and please take my apologies along with that exception (as well as that third person bit). World to Give, to this listener's ear anyhow, fit that moment pretty damn good and riding those moments seem to be what great bands like this one does, almost as a matter of reflex. It's getting kind of eerie, almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just about one of the biggest 'Vision homers' there is so I'm totally, 100%, no-doubt-about-it, BIASED. Great point about the dichotomy between the 2 songs tho and am psyched that that DSO has really rounded into form with WTG. I can tell it's very emotional and they ain't playin it just to give it a go. I think it's one of those 'music plays the band' kinda synergistic moments - whatever the hell that means. I've never seen Jeff perform Visions although I have been faked out by She Belongs to Me more than a few times. Your so right about the degree of difficulty. It's easy to play but damn near impossible to perform in the manner that would meet the standards of the person who has the requisite level of respect for it. Sometimes you can want soemthing just a little too much I guess. I'm almost ready for Close Enough to Pretend as it relates to the level of play that DSO is pounding out right now. It's a good time to be a fan of this music Peace Stone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but since you're obviously saying World To Give for Visions is a bad deal I'm saying you're wrong. At least as it pertains to Jeff Mattson performing either song. Garcia's Visions would make it a tougher choice for sure, but then again we never had the good fortune to know what a latter day Garcia would have done with World To Give.
