Sat was fantastic. Sunday was good, not as good as Sat. Sunday the pace needed to be a little bit faster at times, but not the Rat dog Speed. John Mayer gets it. The Friend of the Devil Sat was a huge highlight and when could you ever say That? Glad I got to see these. Not the same sound as last Fall. Ride in an out both nights was a smooth. The Althea made my night on Sat. Caught the sound check of that as well. Bertha on Sunday had awesome energy. Help, slip Franklins, China Rider and The Days between. Not Bad. Sound was really good both nights. Sat in the 400s front row on Sat, Was on the Rail,outside the Pit Sunday. Fantastic. Some work and off to Hartford. Hoping the Rain clears up around 6pm as some forecasts show. Cheaped it out on the Lawn.

Althea was def my favorite from Sat night but has anyone mentioned the funky ass drums in the second set?

The Beam and some Techno dance to it. Reminded me of the Rave vibe in the 80's and 90's in he lots, with some Disco. It was really good. Sorry Beano. The heat toasted my battery quick.

China Cat - I Know You Rider was another highlight on Sunday, Plus a nice jammy version of Truckin'.

Funky.

Last night was the perfect example of the Rat Dog slow influence. Queen Jane is one of my favorite tunes Bob Sings. It was painfully slow.

Cold Rain and snow was real Funky. Wild Base lines. Row Jimmy was nice. The eyes was good. I left right as the skies opened during the Wheel and I skipped out. The place was pretty close to full. Holds 30 k. It was packed. This Reminded me of Worcester last year. Sat and Sunday were some much better. Last night did not do it for me.

I'm a drummer and it kills me to hear these slow tempos... Like really bad...

SURE!!!

I went to see the Deadco last Monday in Camden. First set was just ok, but the second set was great...the 5 songs pre-drums clocked in at well over an hour, with a monstrous Eyes in the middle as a highlight. Good short-ish drums segment..Watchtower-Dew-NFA and then acoustic ripple encore with John playing 'mandolin' on a dreadnought with no cutaway was impressive

Wave that flag.....

I saw Dead & Company at Fenway Park on Saturday night and it was a damn good show. Probably the first ever Sugaree>Fire On The Mountain. Lots of good reviews of the shows at Fenway.

Dead and company were solid both nights. I thought Sat was much better than Friday. Friday had a pace issue. Set list was better Friday. Out of what I saw Sat Ny was the best. Sunday Ny and Sat Boston tied for second, followed by Friday Fenway, then Hartford.

We were at a friend's house Friday night and he streamed it. Sounded pretty good. Not sure about Mayer's outfit. lol I could never get into going to multiple shows of the same band. I know that has always been a thing with Dead Heads and jam band fans... just never appealed to me.

 

[deadheadskier]

Streamed 1st set last night. Thought it was very on point. The Easy Wind was particularly good.

Nice New Speedway and Scarlet from last night at Sweetwater. Heart of Gold Band with Bob sitting in. Kimmock sounds good.

Also, there's a great free show in NYC this Saturday night celebrating The Band's Last Waltz 40th anniversary, for those of you down that way. Bob Weir has been added to the bill. Trying to figure out a way to make it down.
