    Damn man I hate hearing stories like that, they make me cringe. "Lazy lightning you say you never strike the same place. I want a double dose in any case ... You got to hear my supplication. Got to hear me now. A little bolt of inspiration"

    Far L...couldn't agree more about the All Star Jam...fucking blew my mind (and my ear drums). If you find a recording of that or Sunday night's albums please post. I got arrested entering the the venue with my stash around 6pm Sunday night. Shit was well hidden but the lame ass security searched me like I was Bin Laden. Fucking diks then called over the sheriff to really fuck me. Got out at like 1am so I totally missed the show! Oh and to make it even worse it was my birthday!

    Hoping to join you in Rochester. Coming from Toronto by boat - perfect way to escape the G20! I'll have to see about Red Rocks, Jack. Never been and always wanted to go. Set aside most of my vacation $ already into 2012... but I'll see what I can do to take care of it =)

    Love this band!
    I've been perusing the archives for some time now and listening to Bojangles this past winter blew me away. Phil is singing his heart out here folks. The Box of Rain almost gave me a nervous breakdown about my recently passed away mother. Phil you warlock! It's not nice or fair to unleash the power of this song on unsuspecting people! Even people who suspect! But thank you for the current ride. Nuthin' left to do but :), :0, :)

    Ok, I am going to try and avoid the superlatives, of which there are so many that I have trouble coming up with enough good things to say. Without a doubt, the band is just getting more and more in "the groove". Three days of insanely great music - if you haven't heard about that late night set after the so-called day one "sound check" (more like sound wreck my head, build it back, and then topple it again just for the fun of it) then allow me to elaborate. Start with Viola Lee, then segue into a couple of tunes, then back to Viola, but wait... switch out the bass and lead guitars for a different duo to come back into Viola, going from Phil and Jackie Green to Jackie taking up the bass with Bobby playing guitar, then back to Viola after a couple more songs until Jorma and Jack come out to play with Bob and close it after a few more great Hot Tuna standards with the final Viola verse. Just insane. If anyone knows where I can find the tape of that set then please hit me up... timlake at homegrownvideo dot com. Looks like just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back IN!!! Summer tour, here I come. Just counting my blessings that I am fortunate enough to be able to take my laptop out and keep my day job...

Furthur was exploring new galaxies in mysoul with me last night. I heard the second set and the universe was shrunk to the size of a pin head and at that I jumped in to the abyss of what going forward entails. The house is filled with roses. God Bless the Streamer...maybe they will be there for tonight's show. To Furthur: You all are so talented and make this music so amazingly! I love hearing all the present day and traditionally-styled soul-speaking, mind-bending, infinite- emotion with hot-booty-shaking rock-n-roll. It's the Some of Best Music in the World ! Rock On and Keep On Smiling, xo! You've carried me and that's priceless. I needed to say thanks a trillion, xo! You all have filled my Dad's home with best that was so excellent, everything was excellent. He thought your music was great! So, thanks another trillion for making him so happy. I would dance whilest doing chores and such. His love will be everlasting and could only wish you all the very best of everything for you all. He thought the Grateful Dead was one of the Greatest Bands of All Time! We are inseparable, with in so many Dead songs (Arrrooooooo!) May every good wish be at your feet or perfectly at the tip of your nose....you'll have to look twice to acknowledge it. More love soon... and don't forget, I love you, ALL, xo~~~~ -----------------------------(-------@ the rose scent....

Wow, really great seeing the boys all bunched up on that little stage. Very nice webcast. The first song i caught was the Deal. Then Bobby crooning Black-Throated Wind. Gotta love it. There definitely is a difference with them in close proximity, at least to my ears. Check them out if you have the notion.

Big fun at the new Sweetwater last night with Furthur. It was great seeing them in such a small venue - capacity is only 313! I don't think anyone was more than 50 feet from the low stage. Kinda felt like I was back at the Keystone in Berkeley during the JGB days, except the Sweetwater is cleaner with a better sound system. Although I did like the free popcorn at the Keystone! The show was on the mellow side for the most part. The vibe in the room was palpably joyful, everyone having a real good time. Phil had a big smile on his face most of the night, John seemed to be enjoying his solos. Nice "kumbaya" moments, especially during "I Know You Rider," when the whole crowd pretty much took over the lead vocals. Looking forward to the streams for the next three shows.

Lots of nice jamming tonight. Mind boggling tangent on Doin' That Rag. Really nice. This night brings me moments of missing Jerry (as all Furthur shows do). The ineffable non-presence of the spoon that stirred the pot. Still I am grateful for this -- rolling into Watchtower from Stagger Lee now. Enjoy!

THANK YOU ALL! For all the all of it all. It's been so endearing for me, I didn't dance much this time around but laying on the speakers made for permanent contentment. That's plenty for me. May lovingkindness and good fortune be ever returning to you, all, xo. What goes around does come around, so enjoy it. Back of my memory is still troubling me but this has helped me so much and the miracles of tomorrow are at my door...today. I love you, ALL, xo.

What a wonderful run of shows at the Sweetwater! The folks in the band played and sang their hearts out. It was an absolute treat to see and hear them play in such an intimate and friendly venue. Leaving the building after the show, I experienced the same sense of satisfaction and wonder that I used to feel exiting Winterland, Kaiser, the Greek, etc. I am truly grateful that Phil and Bobby have assembled the talent to continue bringing us all the sweet music that has been branded onto our DNA for decades now. To the Furthur naysayers out there: you're missing something special, because the MUSIC never stopped.

Bolo! This was different than playing in front of 10k varied people. So many thanks to the band for letting us all in on it!

I must concur all folks out there that haven't seen Furthur in the past three years are missin' out. I've seen nearly every new incarnation - The Dead - Phil & Friends- RatDog... and to my mind this is the one that gets me to the closest I've been to what Jerry once described as "Little Golden yummies that last for moments on end" or something to that affect. It's that thing that comity and conne ction,,The spiritual Big O that kept us all addicted to the Show! I'm jonesin' just thinking about it.We here in the South feel a bit gipped at times. Hope to see some FL. and Atl. shows on the summer sched. Till then I'll have to be content to see Warren and the Bros at Wanee next month. Also NMA, Galactic...

In my opinion, this night was so special, great setlist. Kadlecik was kicking on his new kustom guitar,a real beauty. His vocals on "Reuben and Cherise" were out of this world. "Built to last" done real well. Kadlecik was kind of taking over this night when Bobby was kind of in his own world. I think I had better get a CD of this Show. How good are the CDs done by the company that records them and sells them on the Furthur website? Jim

After checking Furthur's web page this morning and seeing that the summer tour will be going as scheduled I bought my ticket for Meadowbrook Amphitheatre. If you are going to this show you should know that they've changed policies and that it costs money to park: $5 to choke in the dust on the pavement $20 for premium parking on the grass $40 for VIP parking I opted for lawn seats and premium parking. The only good thing I can say is that it only costs $1.50 for total service charges that get you hard tickets mailed to you. Once again hoping that Bob has a good rest during his time off and is back on his game this summer!

Hey now! Talking about trips... Help get the message out, if you can. Furthur is bound for Cooperstown, NY... This Upstate NY Venue just miles from where the severe flooding occurred. The amount of debris and household waste is tremendous, folks are exhausted too. Please if you can- sher this: Please take your trash with you when you leave, plan smart for recycling and minimal waste. I am praying with great supplication that the Historic and Excellent town of Cooperstown shall not suffer our arrival or departure. It's so special and it's kept clean and quaint and a true it's heritage. It's all about Baseball and the perfect embrace of entertaining ourselves with this things we love best. Thanks in advance if you sher this. I am always proud of music but not the mess and these communities have been hit really hard. Love one another... XO

Oh and,yeah... Check for detours, most are only a few miles others more lengthy. No worries a detour can and will get you there. Get a fill up for gas about 30 miles outside Cooperstown as it will be difficult to gas in the town of Cooperstown; you will be glad you did, xo (love you, all) Cooperstown is not a city and a small town, to be sure. Get a parking spot where ever you can and wear walking shoes. Stop in Schildman's Bakery for a baked-perfect treat, if you can. Go early and tour... The Baseball Hall of Fame, it's awesome and air-conditioned- No place like it in the World! Enjoy a beer at the pub and wet yer whistle; the beers always cold. Everything is beautiful in Cooperstown. The pier has a big lawn for hanging out. Stagecoach Coffee House is one of my most favorite places to go when I am there. When my John would receive medical treatment at Bassett Hospital we would go there and it is the best. Old fashioned and serene, this place takes the world away. Pastries and sandwiches delicious, get one for after the show. Cooperstown is one of my Favorite places, to be sure. I love you, all, xo!

Furthur has announced it's 2014 hiatus and Phil has just stated that he is "Off the bus" after 48 years of touring. It seems while there is a chance of more Furthur shows in 2015 and beyond the great wheel of time (Kalachakra in Tibetan tantrism) is spinning. What really needs to be stated is a big Thank You! to Bob & Phil, Jeff & JK and the rest of the crew for the incredible # of shows they did in almost 5 years! On the Internet Archive there are 1050 shows listed (some of those are multiple recordings for the same date). 4,743,365 shows have been downloaded from Archive. I believe all should acknowledge that this is a pretty formidable and prodigious amount of music for the remaining members of the band in their sixties and seventies. Really a remarkable body of work for folks who deserved to be in retirement. You might not have liked them for whatever reason. God knows I had some issues with who is singing whose song. But in the end you just have to step back and applaud and be grateful. The following dates are scheduled in 2014: 4 shows in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico in mid-January. 1975 all over again? I don't think so, but who knows? Thank you Furthur, for a real good time!

Furthur's upcoming "last stand" at an all-inclusive resort is pretty pricey. But for what I'm looking at during this week's pro golf match there, it IS a beautiful place! Have fun y'all!
