I wonder if Jeff started acoustic and changed to electric for the noodly Dark Star lead-in. I just love Mountains of the Moon so much - while it makes me moist, it needs to be 10 minutes longer Quote Link to comment

I just love Mountains of the Moon so much - while it makes me moist, it needs to be 10 minutes longer Yeah Tea, exactly. He started the set off with the acoustic for the Dupree’s and somewhere mid Mountains switched to electric as the jam drifted toward the Dark Star…. And there was Cosmic Charlie to open the encore filler before the Hard to Handle (not before Bid you Goodnight) That has absolutely got to be the best Monday night this here sack of bones has ever experienced…holy sheesh,,Ventura got the goods in a very cool small intimate venue (640 peeps) Full throttle all band craftsmanship leading the night through the most peculiar and wondrous caverns of outer space… Skip was absolutely on fire and exercising leadership throughout the night on so many of the jams…driving the train through such fantastic old school grease pits… Skip and Barracco were dialed in together tightly and carving all sorts of new ground together and clearly enjoying the hell out of it together…Those two held down and launched out a lot of the jams throughout the night and Barraco fully brought in the spirit of pigpen to the max…King Bee…ahhhhhhhh….Hey Jude…ahhhhhhh….lovelight…ahhhhhhh Note that this show was the first of just 2 times (both 69) that Pigpen sang Hey Jude…and didn’t show up again til late Brent era. extremely thankful that our timing included this show on a Monday night after the 2 rippin electives in Del Mar and LA…back outta the game now til Seattle/portland… Thanks for such a good time down here in SoCal!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP Tea Posted February 4 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 4 Glad you got this one, IB! Happy place for me. Thanks for the clarifications on the list - I had a tough time pinning it down until the Hey Jude but then the supposed placement of Cosmic Charlie had me a little bewildered - now we got it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP BillK522 Posted February 5 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 5 Two years in a row the Left Coast got the early 69 goods. Napa last year. Praise DSO. 1 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted February 5 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 5 Got mine in Boulder about 15 yrs ago during a 5 night Rocky mountain run. Seemingly strategically placed especially now with everyone playing to the GD dollar Quote Link to comment

Forum MVP 2muchfun Posted February 5 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 5 Not to put words in AC mouth but check out his post in “seeing the unseen” thread in Random Thoughts…refers to the plethora of Cincinnati musicians playing GD off sheet music. Lots more there but will let AC elaborate. 1 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted February 6 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 6 Being in front of a musician playing Eyes of the World and them not knowing the lyrics is offensive. Eyes of the World and Fire on the Mountain are celebrations of life that merit a musical performance. My favorite director told me early on: "Get off my stage if you don't have the script memorized". The songs can't come to life until the musicians are able to let the music take them to places other than expected. Dark Star Orchestra playing an early 69 setlist or even a show as paramount as 6/24/85 is important for thoughtful consideration of where the experiment happens. Praise DSO and all the folks who show up at all the various playgrounds Quote Link to comment
