FS1 playing Throwing Stones on the cut to commercial break on TCU-K State. Very mainstream CFB broadcast, somewhat obscure choice of Dead songs.
Estimated prophet going into a commercial really had me confused the first time and then they did it and some phish the whole night.
Rick from Goose sitting in Phil & Friends has been amazing this weekend. Wish they would let him sing all the songs. His playing and singing really works well with Dead songs
My wife’s coworker’s husband just sent me a nice little Christmas present. Met him earlier this year at a party and we bonded over the dead
Hell yea. I had a vendor of ours give me a couple Jerry Band official release CDs a year or two ago and it sucks b/c I have literally no way to play them. I guess I couple put in my PS4, but don't have a CD player in my car or laptop anymore.
HAHA. I'm going to have to bring them all to my office and upload them to my external hard drive and then transfer them to my home computer, which doesn't have a CD drive. I love owning actual CDs and records. Something about being able to hold the case and read the liners. The one downside to everything going digital.
my wife was like PLEASE NO. My kids are big fans and have songs they like so we won out. I think I posted itt a while back that they yelled at her when she played a song in her car for them that wasn’t live and she had to call me asking what the hell was going on.
When I was pulling out the Christmas decorations/tree from the storage area in our basement, my wife asked me why I’m still keeping a bin full over about 250-300 old CDs when we don’t own anything to play them. I had no real answer, other than nostalgia.
Yeah, I used to trade live SCI CDs back in the early 2000s. I still have a book of like 150 plus shows. They will never get used again since you can stream all this now, but I can’t see me ever throwing them out
There is a scene in an old John Cusack movie, High Fidelity, when Cusack’s character reorganizes his record collection autobiographically, according to how he started listening to different artists. He tells his friend that if he wants to find a certain Fleetwood Mac album, he has to remember that it’s in the Fall of 1983 pile because he bought it as a gift but kept it for himself. That’s what I think of when I remember I have the CDs in the basement.
Didn’t really see a jamband thread… moe. was my shit from like 1996-2005. I preferred the harder rock sound to Phish, SCI, etc. Up until covid, I’d usually try to catch them coming though Atlanta. [boomer] They are playing a smaller venue in the city in March and I looked at tickets. $155 total for two seats is a bit much for some stoner nostalgia. [/boomer]
there's a separate "superior music thread" as a catchall for jambands / jammy music that isn't the Dead. (there's some overlap, of course)
The transition from Scarlet into Fire is flawless too. The earlier Scarlet > Fire’s I’ve listened to from that tour are still great but the transitions aren’t as clean. They fucking nailed it at Cornell.
Does anyone want a free String Cheese Incident ticket for Asheville on Saturday, May 6? It's a single, so it's going to be hard to sell. If so, just DM me and I will send it to your email. Can't go because one of my best friends is getting married that weekend in Montana.
My friend works for Pepsi and stocks random stores. He bought this for me in a a small town right outside of Greenville, SC
Anyone else stream the Barton Hall Dead and Co show last night? It was really good and the setlist was amazing. They played with some good tempo. No Kreutzmann on this final tour, somehow I missed that announcement. Going to the Saturday show at Wrigley next month with my wife and another couple. Gonna be a great time.
Listened till Drums/Space. Need to go back and finish the show. Think my buddy is giving me his Atlanta tickets.
I was expecting them to follow the setlist from 5/8/77 (which was fire), but I like this one better. They hit most of the highpoints from the original show but added a lot of extra heat. I've never seen any Dead or Dead affiliated band give two, let alone three, of the following staples in the same show: (1) China>Rider, (2) Help>Slipknot>Franklin, and (3) Scarlet>Fire. Glad to hear the tempo was good. I streamed one of their shows a few weeks ago and got bored very quickly and was actually thinking about skipping when they came through Texas later this month. Looking forward to listening to the Cornell show and reevaluating.
Here is the show: Just started on Minglewood. Funky but still not the tempo I was hoping for ... Can't blame Bill for skipping this to play with Billy and the Kids. Edit: Now on Eyes of the World. Not GD good, but damn good nonetheless.
Seems like a lot of positive reviews for the tour so far. Better pace and not an absolute snooze fest. I’ll have to see if I can get to a show.
My wife dragged me to a John Mayer concert 8 years ago and I’m making her come with me to Charlotte tomorrow night. I downloaded the archive app on her phone and she’s been listening all week. Was thinking about taking my 7 year old but I saw they played his favorite song, sugar magnolia, in Atlanta and I don’t know if I can handle him losing his absolute shit when they don’t play it tomorrow.
