The Grateful Thread

[Vortex]

Rumors over on the Philzone that a dead reunion show in SF on Monday before the California primary in support of of Obama. "Keep the poitics out of it"..... Bobby and mickey with Phil's band. Phil did do a fund raiser/show for John Kerry last election. Folks have said Phil has a Obama sticker on his car. Point is anytime the boys get together... I still am glad. Again no politics. Just enjoy the jam.

Set list closer throwing stones would be my guess.

just as long as Bobby isn't "in charge" and is more of a Phil type show...

Still smarting by the way he hobbled Warren when he played with "The Dead"

agreed, I was at the final show in Atlanta 04. Now in my brief years of seeing the boys before the Old Man left us for the great jam in the sky, if you asked me what would be the one thing I'd like to see, without question it would be a Morning Dew encore. I think they maybe did it once back in 74

I had driven by myself 8 hours from Florida for this show and it rocked. They come back on stage for the encore and those sweet telling first notes of dew ring out. I nearly passed out from the emotions that ran through me. Warren NAILED it and in my opinion he is the ONLY person on this planet that does Jerry ballads justice. When it gets to the end of the final crescendo instead of hearing Warren belt out 'I guess it doesn't matter anyway' I get none of the sort as Bobby steps up and launches into Touch of Grey. Never been so angry at a musician in my life.

You couple that and Bobby pulling all of the sound boards off archive and I'm not much of a fan of his these days

Even at his worst Jerry could bust out a ballad that could make me cry...

And I saw shows where Jerry coun;dnt sing anything but ballads..

Its a Phil deal.
Alot of memories.
119 Dead shows still maybe one on either side. close to 100 Phil shows.. Never counted bobby or Garcia shows. Got to be in the 300 GD related shows mark. Time just goes by. My wife thinks I have an addictive personality. WTF:-D:smash:
I love my wife.:-D

No doubt, Jerry was the MAN! The way he used to have the entire audience hanging on or waiting on that single note, whether it be with his guitar or voice, was one of his great gifts. And he was always so modest about his talents. I truly miss seeing him at the helm in new shows. Both the JGB as well as the GD.

You know I've said the same thing about Bobby, many a times throughout this thread, Doug....

[marcski]

Phil is playing a few festivals.

from philzone.com

"Phil On The Mountain?
This year brings the 4th Annual Mountain Jam (May 30-June 1) with the likes of Gov't Mule (Warren), Levon Helm (Larry Campbell), Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood, DSO (Rob Barraco), Jackie Greene, and a bunch more. In addition to the fact that P&F played this festival last year, there are at least five of Phil Phriends among these bands. Sooo, many are wondering, will Phil show up for the Jamfest? It almsot seems like a set up? We sure hope he turns up but we don't have any solid info right now. If we hear any more, we'll be sure to let you know."

more rumors I've been hearing - Phil and Allman Brothers at the Bethel Woods mid June- the date I'm hearing is Saturday June 21st(summer solstice)... On the other side of the ridge from where the original Woodstock show was at... Absolutely awesome venue...

Also from Philzone.com
"One of the purported stops will be a revisit to Bethel Woods in upsate NY (the site of the original Woodstock). For anyone who was there last time, you'll remember that was one helluva show & Trey stopping by to help out sure didn't hurt either. We're really excited at the notion of even more of a Summer Tour... we're holding our breath awaiting further news!"

I would make June 21st. Sat show anywhere within 8 hours of so. Limited Vacation days for show this year. The Vibes are the only days I have on the vacation board at this time.(non ski related) The ski season has taken over tour season. I did buy a ticket for Little feet at Sunday River March 15th this morning.

Hey now, Donna is at The Stone Church in Newmarket tonight

Don't think this going to happen...
Rumor is Greg cant sustain a tour for health reasons right now..

oh....how I'm looking forward to moving to Newmarket. LOVE the Stonechurch


There have some rumors of Phil possibly playing Gathering of the Vibes. I like Bob have limited vaca time, so I'm not sure if I'll make it. Possibly for Friday night through Sunday, but not the full four days unless my boss is particularly nice that month.
