A fan recording of Dead and Co's warm up show at the Fillmore a couple days ago is up on youtube. Sounds pretty good. May hit Hartford at the end of June. But Sammy Hagar? Although he sounds better than one would expect.

DHS,
Never saw you at Hampton Beach.

Heading to both nights at Citi Field and both Fenway, for the Dead and Co. Looking forward to some outdoor shows. Anyone else catching Dead and Co?

 

[deadheadskier]

No Dead and Co. Kind of bummed to not be going, but I don't really care for Fenway as a concert venue. I've got Percy Hill and moe. this Saturday in Portland and then Phish in Portland on the 6th. I may also go see Derek in NH in July.

You may have not seen me, but you probably saw my car after the show. Of all the cars in the lot, the nitrous guys had to pick mine to set up shop. Doh! Car was basically swarmed with people huffing down balloons, so there was no quick departure for me after the show.. I don't partake. I just had to sit back and watch the circus for 30 minutes until they were done. Lol

Not my thing...
I've had my fill of Bobby's slow tempos...
The psychedelic feel of GD jams/music seems to be missing...
And no Phil... This is Ratdog with Billy on drums...

I heard D&C play Cold Rain and Snow on SiriusXM the other day - I thought it was Dave Mathews band for a bit until I could hear the drummers...

So - no... I'd wouldn't step foot into that show if you paid me... well... I probably have a price..

Good move... The Nitrous Mafia is not to be messed with... I've seen things...

 

[deadheadskier]

I have too. Not worth the risk to interfere.

If I trusted the source(food only) of the n2o I'd let them stay for a couple balloons...
But The Philly Nitrous Mafia is sketchy beyond belief...

I have only seen 1 Dead and co show. That was Worcester and It did not do it for me. I will give it a few shows and see. Kind of Agree with Funky. Very slow tempo. Rat Dog without Steve K. Part of the reason why I m going is to hang with ole tour buddies.

The footage I saw from Bonaroo had a bit more pace than what I saw (on video) last year.

My hard part in accepting the band is really just Mayer's voice and it's probably due to all the cheesy pop songs he put out. Its just grating hearing that familiar voice sing Grateful Dead songs. Kind of like hearing Jimmy Buffet sing HD tunes. His guitar playing is quite good, but not diverse in tone, speed, soul etc. Just a bit too predictable.

If they play a venue I like this fall in New England maybe I'll catch them. Would love them to play the Verizon in Manchester. I have fond memories of the Further show there.

All my old tour buddies are gone...
My PHish tour buddies are currently kicking major ass...

I hear ya on the Kimock thing.. Love him... Caught him at Levons a month ago - talked to him about Zero at the Wetlands back in the day...
Told me a story about the Wetlands.. Where Robert Hunter showed up and they decided to encore with Franklins... And let Hunter sing it.. Hunter started playing Franklins... But completely different from the way the GD did it.. Kinock stopped him and started it the correct way.. Hunter said "That is a way better way to start the song..." hahaha..

I have 3 buddies left I use to catch Dead shows with. A dozen or so who followed the Q still get together once or twice a year at a show. Music is not as good and we all aged.

Last night was the first night with any repeats. This face book live thing is pretty cool. I watched the first set of Cinci. I have to say they sounded really good. Heading down to the two City field shows his weekend. Thinking about Hartford too. Saratoga tonight. A great venue, inside and out. I know a few from here are going, Enjoy.

 

[Funky_Catskills]

My thought turn to Phish...
SPAC - Great Wooks - Hartford - Syracuse
