goganious Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 So Friday and Saturday both offered great shows in Portland. I'm sure someone else can fill in the blanks on the setlist and the particulars for Saturday night's show. I am creating this thread for one reason only: To talk about Lisa's rendition of Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom". Wow. Not sure I can muster up the proper diction to describe the power, emotion, relevance, and completeness of Lisa's reading of this song. To hear her sing THOSE words at THIS time in American history, and the way her vocals built and built until the final, bellowing verse...it was an absolute goosebumps/tears kind of moment. And the crowd absolutely knew it and responded so enthusiastically. I have never, in many years of going to DSO shows, EVER seen such a spontaneous outpouring of appreciation from the crowd for ONE song, one singular performance. Even the band seemed a bit taken aback by the voracious and long lasting ovation. There were many great moments, both nights, but that "Chimes of Freedom" is a moment I will never forget. Thank you DSO and thank you Lisa Mackey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
count2 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 This was absolutely the most memorable part of an incredible elective show. Brought tears to my eyes. Lisa is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted February 12, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Chimes was the highlight of the whole show. Breathtaking. I felt like she was singing for our freedom especially for those of us that feel to small to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Island Bro Posted February 13, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 ABSOLUTELY YES to all words above about Chimes. It felt not only touching but also important at this moment. And as goganious said the outpouring of support from the crowd afterwards was THICK! Seemed to last for 3 minutes. All such an important reminder that kindness, generosity, and looking out for your fellow human being is needed now more than ever... and so the kids they dance and shake their bones...to the Cassidy>Birdsong first set closer and launched into 2nd set party with China>Rider, unbroken chain, Corrinna (first one out here!!),D/S Dark Star> St Stephen> Wharf Rat>GDTRFB with a Box encore... More to add when it comes...maybe the Corrinna was first set I'm not clear but what a fun dance party. Was thankful to have very decent dance space with good vibes all around...

Forum MVP Rude Posted February 13, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I cried after chimes. I've never seen such s reaction. I clapped and cheered for over 2 minutes. That song took on such relevance in today's political climate. The crowd was united in their appreciation for the principles this country was founded on of acceptance and hope. It was beautiful!!! By far the most memorable experience at a DSO show ever. Bravo!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3down Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Heard Chimes in Pittsburgh. Memorable indeed. It's sounding like this tune is getting stronger, and stronger every time it's performed. Hopefully they got 1 more in them saved for me when I get there.

Forum MVP Dead duck Posted February 14, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Dang. Sorry I missed this one. Congrats to those in attendance. I got "chimes" at my acoustic show in Bloomington in '12 i think. I can understand why it may be kicked up a few notches nowadays though. Glad you all were there to enjoy.

count2 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 To touch on the rest of this one, awesome second set! After reading about Corrina being worked up lately, for someone who doesn't see that many shows, this was a treat. And to get both Dark Star and Saint Stephen, plus what I thought was a fantastic Wharf Rat too. Many reasons this show stood out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a Corrina yet but it's sure has been given so many thumbs up lately it's like one of those I've got to hear for myself things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 14, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Beautiful!!! I really didn't enjoy this song when they first started doing it years ago- don't know why, just didn't know the song and it took hearing it a few times.... then one night I really paid attention and it brought me to tears. Remember that time (acoustic show? West coast...) that she dropped the final lyrics, they recovered like champs, then she came to mic and read the tricky damn lyrics just to get em in and laugh about these long ass Dylan songs lol. Was beautiful and shows their sense of humor and their willingness to play w us. I started learning the song on my mando and it made my friend cry on the river at the dharma center last summer. Very special song. Wish I could remember lol the words hehe jealous as fuck of y'all dancing out there, but I am busily making DSO pipe bags (forums names badge patches coming after Berkeley and throughout year- trying to see who gonna be at each show so I can bring you yours hehehehe) and Dead roach clips (found cassette tape charms! And left handed monkey wrenches lmao!) and we fly out first thing Thursday AM anyone staying at marina? Fave meditation spot around bay and we r staying w Tibetan friends (they coming Saturday I think!!!) so I'm hoping to find some of y'all w a room over there to hang w a bit also: the marina doubletree will shuttle you to the show at your scheduled time free for u and all your friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
