Grateful Dead

How lucky all us heads are that the music still plays the band.

Well the Joint was jumpin', goin' round and 'round: reelin' and a rockin', with tall Bill Walton in the crowd.
The tempo was noticeably slow for the first 2 songs: Alligator > Minglewood. Feelin' Allright was a good surprise, with Jeff Chimenti doing as admirable a job as Steve Winwood on keyboards. The jam within Jack Straw was wonderful, really getting the crowd hoppin' with the " dug by heel a shallow grave" verse. He's Gone led into a tease of the Other One, then went into Deal! I thought the set was ending, then Candyman came along, with Around and Around closing.
2nd set
Midnight Hour > Playing in the Band > Hell In A Bucket, Bird Song > After Midnight > All Along the Watchtower > Wharf Rat > Throwing Stones > Not Fade Away E: Morning Dew
Quite a few scraggly stoners in the crowd: been on tour too long and got zapped by the Las Vegas heat.
Good ratings for this show on setlist.com: not sure if I liked it any better than the Saturday show at Redrocks, with the Dark Star > St. Stephen > Unbroken Chain.

Yeah!

I am there-kinda!

My smile, a well needed one of the best.

Mauh! X

what a wonderful three days at edgefield. Beautiful, compact oudoor venue, full moon rising through the trees, perfect sound and lights, crazy but fun and mellow crowd and three superb shows, culminating in a sublime second set on Saturday. During the perfect Attics encore a tear or two clouded this badger's eyes. So happy to meet Mona and Johnman and very special to build friendships and be so well looked after by Hal and Debbie and Doug. Thanks to all.

stylings of a band called Furthur.
Phil continues to have the time of his life,
He is at that top of his performing game and draws the best from all around him.
Bobby was in better form that the prior two years (in my humble opinion)
John seemed so much more spontaneous,
I heard more original runs, leads and his vocals (Morning DEW!) were consistently heartfelt
Joe is a force of nature, (volcanic perhaps)
and Jeff is just everywhere, command of the keys extraordinaire.
And these back up vocalists really nail it, this is a componet that is a terrific addition to the sound.
They are such a welcome compliment to the lead vocals and chorus on the songs we love so much

Catch Furthur if you can, they are transportive,
This is simply the best Furthur I have ever heard.
Travel safe, and pack your own snacks.
Nuff said.
