    Saw Phil and the Terrapin Family Band tonight at Brooklyn Bowl. Great time and much better than I expected.

    2nd set was over two hours long which was sweet.

    Always wondered what you all consider when you determine the quality of a show. I generally just go to the relisten app and try to find venues I might have gone to or think were cool. Currently listening to last night of a five night run at the Omni in Atlanta(95), first night of the run they opened with Cold Rain and Snow which Dead and Co opened their first Atlanta show with.......also didn't remember this but the Omni was unique looking

    Edit: Dead and Co actually opened with Feel Like A Stranger

    Saw Phil and the Terrapin Family Band last night. Great times even though Phil singing always brings a couple cringe worthy moments.

    I guess I listen to shows in a number of different ways. Usually when I just around era's, it's because I saw a post on twitter, or got a recommendation from a friend or something. But starting w/ 76 last year I started listening along (mostly) on each day there was a show. When doing that, it becomes easier to tell, IMO. Song selection matters a lot less than I'd have thought, and generally it comes down to the energy...which is kind of ambiguous.

    Lemieux always talks about when the short/first set songs have good fire to them, the shows usually end up being good. I tend to agree.

    Too my understanding this is from Jerry's only solo show he ever did.

    Yeah, was just reading about this. Apparently he had an entire tour planned, but got kinda freaked out playing completely unaccompanied & immediately called Kahn in for the rest of the shows. That, or he wanted a buddy to do copious amounts of Persian with.

    One of my favorite versions of Brown-Eyed Women...really underrated tune imo. Baffles me that a lot of the older heads considered it a bathroom/beer break song.

    My uncle played bongos in a Dead cover band in the '80's that called themselves The Grateful Dudes.

    Google tells me this is not a unique name for Dead tribute bands.

    Just picked up 3.29.90 on vinyl. Same store had DP 4, but the price was a bit high. Probably going to go back tomorrow and put my best Jew haggling skills to work.

    Brooklyn Bowl to Host Live Auction and Performance for Jerry Garcia’s "Wolf" Guitar
    [​IMG]
    On May 31, Brooklyn Bowl will host a special live auction for Jerry Garcia’s famed “Wolf” guitar, which will be auctioned off to benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    The legendary guitar was given to Guernsey’s by its current owner, who purchased it from the auction house in 2002 for close to $1 million but now wants to use it to help the SPLC. The event page notes that “celebrated musicians” will be playing Wolf at the live auction before the guitar changes owners, but no specific lineup is listed.

    The Doug Irwin-designed guitar made its debut in the Jerry Garcia repertoire on September 5, 1973 and most famously appears on the cover of Garcia’s 1974 record Compliments.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center, formed in 1971 and designed to ward off the remains of the Jim Crow segregation, currently aims to eliminate and combat hate groups, preaching diversity and tolerance to a wide variety of groups.

    All proceeds from the guitar’s sale will go towards the organization.

    Peavy is big in the music scene down here. He opened up a studio downtown, and his foundation helped put together 1065 fest, a free fest in the fall that took the place of Bayfest when it went under a couple years ago. I know he's got a band, but I've never seen them, and he seems to randomly decide to sit in with other local bands from time to time.

    Another great Dead cover band is Forgotten Space. They are out of Dallas and play here every couple of months. Never miss them.

    Cool back story: Kenny Winthrow (plays Jerry) first got together with Hunter Hendrickson (plays Bob) back when Hendrickson was Winthrow's guitar student. Just like Jerry and Bob irl

    Have any of you guys ever listened to the "Day of the Dead" tribute album? It was released last spring, bunch of indie/alternative artists and bands covering GD and JGB songs. Some are pretty fucking weird, but these two are great IMO.

    Jim James doing Candyman is absolutely haunting, I think it captures the essence of the song well. I'm not a big MMJ fan, but I like a lot of his solo stuff.
