Set 2: Iko Iko Looks Like Rain Shakedown Street (great jam) China>>>Rider (incredible) Dear Prudence Not Fade Away ***** Brokedown Palace
I looked up their tour after you were posting last night, Bob & Wolf Bros playing with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in DC in Oct. Tickets acquired.
Saw Bob and The Wolf Bros last night. Good show. My buddy’s wife couldn’t go so I ended up with a free ticket. Opener was Hell In A Bucket. Encore was Black Muddy River. I felt like he got after it pretty good. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Dead and Co Summer Tour Dates are out. Think I am going to go to Wrigley. Glad Atlanta didn't make it. Prefer it in the Fall.
Bobby got tired of melting in Atlanta.....also Dead and Co in Atlanta peaked the year with Terrapin and Days Between with the lightning in the distance
Streaming 9/9/87 from Providence, RI this morning, fantastic Brent show. Maybe an omen for the #Duke Blue Devils tonight, but Devil with a Blue Dress makes an appearance. Greatest Sorry Ever Told > Devil With a Blue Dress > Good Golly Miss Molly.
I think sitting outside on a nice day listening to the dead is my favorite thing to do. Going with 6/4/77 and a nice hazy pale ale today.
Always enjoy the Jerry-centric tunes that the Grateful Dead channel on SiriusXM plays during the "days between." Wish they'd play Jerry and JGB stuff more frequently
seriously, there's like a couple minutes here where you can just about make out the mist from Owsley 's liquid LSD floating above the band and crowd.
I'm listening to the show on archive. I like how they spent like 10 minutes tuning before Playin and 15 seconds into the song Jerry's guitar goes completely out edit: props to them muscling through the tuning issues and delivering the good this song tho. holy fuck. Also, their tone - particularly the guitars - in this era was so perfect.
This is pretty fucking cool, especially for those who play music. Hope they start adding more songs. https://www.dead.net/playingintheband
I'd like to see Mayer play the same tunes with a different percussion section so he can really let loose There's a ceiling on dead and company in terms of rocking out
I can't argue with that. 77 and 87-90 are some of my favorite years, but I'm not sure the double percussion had anything to do with it. 72-74 (esp. '72) were about as good as it gets.
I actually prefer 73 and 74 to 72, but I think that’s certainly their best stretch of music. My other favorite 3 year stretches would have to be 79-80 and 88-90.
Never seen any rendition of the dead play but I’ve got a reminder set for next Friday to buy tix for the Raleigh show next summer.
