Very nice. Love that set list flow start to finish. I want to see a DSO show just exactly like that one!

It was even better than the set list. Best non-Dead Half Step EVER

 

best Terrapin I’ve ever seen DSO play and I think I’ve seen 6-7 versions since I started attending the shows in 2018.

From Chimes of Freedom on, was the best "Dead" show I think I ever saw... Energy in the room was very high, both band and audience. Not sure if band or aud tapes exist, but sure love to get a hold of last night's show for frequent relistens!

They have mastered both, ESPECIALLY terrapin…

[Greg from Chestertown]

They have mastered everything.

if I had my way, every venue would be like the Anthem. Tired of these theaters....Grateful Dead shows are meant for open spaces. Not Seats. Listen to those early 70s theater shows- they spend half the show telling folks to go back to their seats. We want to DANCE.

 

Usually theaters at least have good sound but I found the sound to be very boomy in there.

 

Sorry I'm all complaints. Still love DSO~

The sound in Red Bank from 7th & 4th row was even better than the sound at Capital Theatre from 1st row loge. All 4 nights the sound was spectacular. No band playing Grateful Dead music *sounds* anywhere as good as DSO.
