GawD NO!!!
Bobby.... Leave these JG classics alone... I can deal with Franklins and even Eyes if there's a sax.... I don't know... maybe I'm being too critical but I just hate the way Bobby does hard core JG songs...

I'm going to listen to Live Dead tonight and purge these thoughts from my brain...
Read Phils book on a plane to San Fran monday... Awesome.. Been listening to Live Dead since...

Anythings better than Mickey's stupid Fire on the Mountain "Rap." God I got sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

Yes, I kind of agree, Doug...Ramble on is definitely one of my top favorites...Bobby certainly doesn't do it (or any jerry tune) justice!. That said, I had a good show.

Phil's book was a very good read. Lots of interesting tidbits...

Doug you grumpy old Bastard. lol

I hear you loud and clear many take your view. I just still like to hear the songs. If Bobby and Robert Hunter are the only ones in the Dead family playing then I listen.

Aw you forget also Steve really adds alot to the sound. Too tired to do anything but drag my ass today. they were unreal last night. I have been called a Bobby Basher quite often. Hard to find much negitive out of the last two nights. Mission in the Rain was beautiful Terrapin flyer. aw it was good.

: Jam > Here Comes Sunshine > Big River > Mission in the Rain > Youngblood > Little Red Rooster > Odessa > Book of Rules > Bertha
II: Deep Elem Blues@*, Mexicali Blues@, Might as Well > Lady with a Fan > Terrapin > Stuff > Knockin on Heaven's Door > China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider*
E: At a Siding > Terrapin Flyer
*-with Steve Kimock (Guitar); *-with Keller Williams (Guitar/Vocals); Mark was absent; Bobby sat in with Keller on "High Time" and "Wake Up Little Susie > Monkey and the Engineer"
(Keller Williams opened; Jeff Chimenti's 650th Show)

last night copied from Rat dog.org. when was the last time you heard wake up little suzie
kimock and Keller on Sella blue. Worth the ticket just for that.

The thing is... Bob has a TON of great songs to choose from... So why play sacred JG or a ton of Beatles?
Just break out "Throwin Stones"... Or Heaven Help the fool... Or anything off of ACE....

I consider myself to be pretty open minded about music...
But I just can't get into Ratdog.. I don't know why... Just not drawn to it...

Glad you guys had a blast!!!

Just having fun. The problem I had with Bob doing Jerry tunes for me was when bob could not remember the words. Jerry's ballads and vocals were special to me. It got shaky as time went on, but still fun.

I was skipping Dog shows for a while, but when robin joined them it got better, and when Steve is playing its really not the same band.

Phil shows are still on a different Level. Understatement of the day.

 

[dmc]

Phil retains all the elements that I loved from the GD...
Ratdog seems to be getting jammier... Kimmock rules...

You can say that again. I cant say I know anyone who would go see Bobby over Phil. It's just chock full of goodness.
