bummer, you saw Bruce do some uncool things

guess I love Bruce because in the last five years of Jerry's life, he seemed happiest playing with Bruce with Melvin being a close second. Vince was toxic...........and my favorite project post Jerry was the initial Other One's with Hornsby, Phil, Bob, Mickey, Molo, Karan and Kimock, think it was 98

yup.....stream completely sucks. I've never listened to one prior to tonight. A friend sent me the link........cool to be 'live' with the set list......but as I said, it's like scrambled porn

I saw Bruce play with Bobby a few years back...one of the sickest shows I have seen...it was at the Mann Center in philly...cool ass views to check out while smelling colors and seeing smells.

i think i recall thinking one song was the set. ha....ahh and then gettin lost in camden...and chillen at some hotel lot for hours...damn memory still works..sweet

=

He's very high on himself....one show I saw...he was apparently having some tuning issues with his grand...and he comes out on stage...after a lengthy delay...sits down at his piano..only him...on stage..hits one note..and starts like screaming and berating the roadie/tuner... in front of the entire house..fans included. It appeared very unprofessional of him....and IMHO made him look like an asshole. He did step in when needed as a good friend of Jerry's and fill a void...and added a dimension to the boys sound. I still like his music....and have seen him numerous times since. He's playing next week at Town Hall in the city...fun venue.

Would have never guessed that to be part of Bruce's personality. He always has seemed so jovial to me, especially during his shows where he invites the women in the crowd up on stage to dance.

I would have loved to have had him on stage during the Other Ones this spring. Jeff does nothing for me.

What's up with Bobby still singing Jerry tunes when they have John in the band? Some songs he does alright on, but Bird Song is definitely not one of them.

I'm not a big jeff fan either... and...it's called Bobby's HUGE EGO>>

One of many reasons I'm more of a PAF fan than a Ratdog fan.

I was front row at Wallignford for Phil and Freinds when chris robinson was leading the voacls. this is a great venue inside. you can't drink in the lots and you have to tail gate in your cars. Early its okay late it is not. DHS. Sending a secret on parking to you. My son starts his seasonal program the next morning. Not sure how to handle this one. My guess is I am going postal tomorrow.

edit got mrs to take the kids to the river. I am in.

This is definitely a can't miss. I've streamed some of the further shows and this line up sounds the best of anything I've heard in the past 14 years. Hopefully I can access online ticketing from St. Thomas. They go on sale 9/29

Yeah......I'm stoked for these upcoming shows...

From what I've listened to so far over at Archive, they sounded schweet at the Fox.....! I think this setup will definitely sound more like the Grateful Dead than any other configuration since Jerry. John sounds more like Jerry than any other guitar player I've ever heard.

Did anyone mailorder yesterday?

I did it via fx for Wallingford. I like that place. I ordered the reserved $73 tickets. Never did it that way before, I tried it via e-mail, but it got bounced twice. I sent an e-mail this morning to make sure I did it right. Waiting for a response.
