Summer Tour....

After last years successful St Louis outdoors show I'm upset there isn't another especially with all the St. Louis ties with the band.

Looks like DSO is going to see the dead in Chicago the 4th and 5th. An abrupt stop in touring on the 3rd makes me think they are going to go see 2 shows. They are already in Chicago so it seems to make sense. Gonna shoot for these 2 shows as there's no way they will oversell the Vic with dead shows going on right? That place is notoriously crowded but they will have to lose people to the main event that day.

Maybe they'll indeed take a 2-week break after Allgood, maybe not tho.  Maybe more will drop in there. 

 

7/24 - 7/25 at Jay's Peak and 7/26 in Sernac indicate special JGB shows!  Those will be a can't miss IMO!  This means less of a possibility of the full-on sing-along.  Drunken talkers are another story..

Wow. Radar looking pretty empty for me. Already cancelled everything for Chicago so not planning on getting back in that mess even though it's the closest shot. Would definitely do Springfield if that popped up though. Would love to see the jay peak JGB shows but would bet that's out for sure. Maybe Black Mountain? But I say that every year......

Summer prospects look slim. Kansas City. 16 hours round trip for a one off is gonna happen because I'm having trouble stomaching only 3 shows after the jubilee before west coast fall tour. Pocohantas is a go. I really don't see anything else I'm gonna make. Black mountain and Jays peak will be considered but don't look likely.

Can't wait for the Upstate NY shows. Super psyched on the two night run at Dewey as well!! Last year was my first time at Bottle and Cork and it was just perfect! Really looking forward a nice beach vacation and being able to spend two of my nights blown away by Dark Star and then chill out on the beach all day :)

Spring/summer shaping up to look something like this

April- cabin fever at Terrapin hill farm for rumpke mountain boys, owsley county,+ more

May- Jubilee!!

June- Back at Terrapin hill for family reunion with 2x Rumpke, born cross eyed, terrapin flyer, DGans and more.

July- Gratefulfest JKs golden gate wingmen are headlining. My boys love the ledges.

August- first week back at school for my boys so looking to set up a dad solo mini tour consisting of Atlanta and black mountain. Was KOA really that bad last year? Remember hearing of issues.

Terrapin hill also has a harvest fest in September and Snuggleween in October both of which may be in play depending on lineup and fund$.

Hey now mc......summer prospects looking MIGHTY slim here too & kicking myself for not making more shows on this west coast spring tour.  You mention fall tour but I see no info for that.  By that point I'll be seriously jonesing for some vibes and reckon I'm looking for reassurance that this will be coming around?

Fall tour will happen. Expect mostly California in October and then the northeast around Thanksgiving.I hope we get some Colorado dates or a return to the Pacific Northwest but I've received no assurances.

Last year at Jay Peak was amazing. DSO is now my 7-year-old son's favorite band. 

 

I just noticed the schedule on the DSO website says "special JGB Show" for both nights at Jay Peak. I certainly don't want to seem ungrateful, but 2 nights in a row of JBB sets is not the Dead-music event of the summer we had hoped for when we signed up! One night would be good, but both is kind of a downer.

 

The boy is NOT a fan of JGB. And my wife & I like JGB, but there's a such thing as too much! 

 

Besdies, one night, the Garcia Project is on the bill. Now that's over-redundant for sure.

 

Please, please, only one night of JGB.  We need a Dead set!

There could be 3..  In fact, they've only got 3 JGB shows on the tour calendar... 2 at Jay and 1 in Utica.  Maybe they should move one of the Jay ones to Rochester or the Vibes or Chesterfield or Dewey Beach. They should spread the wealth.  Two nights in a row to the same crowd doesn't make much sense.  They don't even usually play two "original sets" in a row in a 2-night stand.

 

Like I say, I don't want to be ungraetful, but I spent a lot of money on this weekend, and now I'm not looking forward to it.  I just don't like JGB. I fell asleep the 2 times I saw them perform live (when I was in my teens & 20s).  There's no way I'd stay up for JGB covers now that I'm in my 40s.

 

There's a reason people have thousands of GD bootlegs and maybe 2 or 3 JGB thrown in for good measure.  It's good in small doses.  This is a huge letdown for planning purposes after two incredible nights last year.
