The Grateful Thread

[WWF-VT]

13 years ago tonight, one of my best being entertained by the boys. 10-17-94 MSG the Eyes and Morning Dew were amazing.

gonna go get a bit nostalgic, listen to the Morning Dew from that night and head to bed

My first show was 5-11-1978 in Springfield, MA and last was at the 10-1-94 show at the Boston Garden.

Boston Garden show had many highlights, a warm night with Jerry in shorts.

Help On The Way-> Slipknot!-> Franklin's Tower, Walkin' Blues, Althea, Me & My Uncle-> Big River, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, So Many Roads, Promised Land

Scarlet Begonias-> Fire On The Mountain, Way To Go Home, Saint of Circumstance-> Terrapin Station-> Drums-> Space-> The Last Time-> Stella Blue-> One More Saturday Night E: Liberty

definitely a great show. The whole run was great. I think my favorite of the run though was 9-29. 2nd set was a monster

Playin'>Eyes>Estimated>He's Gone > Drums > Spanish Jam > Other One > Wharf Rat > Sugar Mag

Not that I dislike new tunes, but this song selection was like a step back in time. Loved it!

Have to bail on Sat Ratdog in Hampton... anyone need one? Still will be there Friday.

 

[Vortex]

ticket for Sat taken. If your around see ya tonight. I know Maineskie 69 will be there as well.

 

[deadheadskier]

Unfortunately, I can't make either shows. Ended up having to help out the old job both nights. Enjoy!

 

[Vortex]

Thankx and too bad.

My wife & I got to Hamptom about about 8:10 without tix. The show was sold out so we were nearly resolved to hanging out in the back parking lot where you can hear the band. There weren't that many persons looking for tickets so I figured I'd start poking around. So while Bury Me Standing was playing through the back doors, we managed to buy a pair from some people who were denied entrance. Not a bad show! Masterpiece is still running through my head this morning.

Althea with Steve K. wow. Met Maineskier69 and a few of his buddies and a couple of mine. quality show. Tired today. I would expect the Franklins tonight. Can't remember the last time I heard Quinn. We had a moon reference on standing on the moon. Got to walk on the ocean for a while pre show, clouds were coming in, but full moon over the ocean was. well you can guess.

The Althea was huge! Check out the ratdog.org link. It looks like Quinn was just brought in to the mix this year. No disrespect to Mark Kirin's playing but Steve Kimock does a great tribute to Jerry's playing. The whole band takes their time to develop great jams-the way it should be. The keys were as impressive as the guitaring at some parts IMHO.

Here is one of the crappy pix I took. Should have tried a different setting on the camera. No flash + "night time" leaves it exposed too long...

The Lowell show is at archive.org (I may have posted this before). Stream it!!

27 years ago today I saw my first show at Radio City. I tried to top that one for the better part of 7 or 8 years but could never match the first show/NYC/halloween experience....

 

[marcski]

Last night's Phil setlist looks like a lot of fun:

http://www.philzone.com/shows/20071031.html

I'm going tonight...should be fun.


p.s. Bobby's setlist from last night looked good too. I esp like the st. stephen, will. tell bridge into the eleven. One of my favorites there.

 

[marcski]

O.k here goes:

I've never been to the Nokia Theater before. It is a theater (can you say multiple full bars throughout). Holds 2100 people according to their website. Show is GA, there is a large floor area in front of the stage and then a 2nd floor area up a half flight of stairs. The 2nd floor area is about level with the stage. Behind that there is about 2-3 "sections" of stadium seating. I was off to the side on the 2nd floor level, slightly limited view at times, but room to dance..and we were up front near the stage (just on the side). I also went out for a few times to the steps between the floor levels. Overall pretty good venue. Although, personally, I like the Beacon.

Set list:

First set: Friend of the Devil, "another day has come and gone", Deep Elem Blues, Like a Ball and Chain, Deal> Jam> Tell Me Mama, Jam> Alabama Getaway

Second set: Jam> China Cat Sunflower> Jams> Althea*, Jam> "dance with the devil"> Jams>
Cumberland Blues> Jams (Larry on mandolin, HEAVY Wheel tease)> Uncle John's Band> Jams>
Don't Let Me Down, Help on the Way> Slipknot!> Franklin's Tower E: Ripple

*Jackie on organ, Steve on beautiful piano runs

Hightlights were Deep Elem, Cumberland, Franklin's, Don't let me down was fun.

Jackie Greene Rocks. He played some harp and looks like he's about 16. He was clearly the youngest person in the theater. I had a great show. Phil just lets the boys go, much more experimental than Ratdog. Bobby keeps those guys on too short of a leash. Last night, for me at least, musically, was much closer to a dead show vibe than any ratdog show i've seen. While at times, this approach might lead to some mishaps, it also lets them shine at others. They were tight considering the above, Phil was booming..in the "zone". He looked good, a bit thin, but strong. The rest of the band was very positive and energetic. I enjoyed Larry's mandolin (and fiddle), One of the better Phil incarnations I've seen or heard. Steve's playing reminded me of some early Brent.

I'm looking forward to next thurs. And, have been thinking about hitting up another one early next week.

Here's a link to Alabama Getaway a buddy found: (not one of my fav's).

Nice report Phil who? Hope you catch The I'm so gone. Perfect mix of what jackie brings and phils' Jam orchestration.
