The Grateful Thread

[deadheadskier]

I just bought DSO tickets for Hampton beach Jun12 and 13. They have a two day package on ticketbastard. It comes outto $57.35 with all the charges. $47 without charges, but it is $5 cheaper than buying of DSO's web page. Nice Friday and Sat at the beach.

Going to skip this one.

Ticket budget is dwindling fast. I just picked up Widespread Panic w/ Allmans for end of August Great Woods. Probably going to get the two night package for Moe at Hampton in July.

Summer 'Tour' this year for me =

The Dead - this Saturday at Worcester
Strangecreek Campout: 5/22-5/24
Phish at Fenway on 5/31 - if I get lucky with my pre-order
Nate Wilson Group - 6/5 Portsmouth
Phish - 6/6 Great Woods
moe - most likely 7/25&26 Hampton
Widespread / Allmans - late August

with a wedding coming up in September, I really need to real in my purchases from here.

is your cracka ass for real?

 

[deadheadskier]

Finally met Bobr, but ever so briefly.

When I got there, I looked at my tickets and they were for Sunday, not Saturday as I thought I had purchased in 20 years of going to shows, never done that. maybe it's the effects on my memory that 20 years of going to shows have done :lol:

Anyways, was feeling defeated, but Bob encouraged me to check the lot for tickets and was able to score some and get rid of my Sunday seats. By the time I was through with that and taking care of a minor health concern with J, we ran into some Boston friends that we go to festivals with and had beers back at the garage. Thought about seeing Playing Dead, but wasn't down with paying cover as we wouldn't be attending after the show.

Show was pretty darn solid, Terrapin was fantastic. Middle of first set was a bit off to me, but still fun. Seems like Warren still needs to find the melodies on certain tunes, but others he was incredible.

Only complaints were two:

1. I'd much rather see Rob Baracco playing with them than Jeff Chimenti. Jeff is a talented player, but having another strong vocalist like Rob would really benefit them on choruses.

2. I was beginning to wonder if the lighting guy was dead. :lol: I don't expect a Phish like light show, but something more than just stationary purple and green for 95% of each set would've been nice. They have this big beautiful rig, but do nothing with it. I commented to my brother that it was the equivalent of owning a ferrari, but never driving it faster than 25 mph.

Hope they keep this going and swing back around next fall. At times they were absolutely amazing and re enforce why after all these years, they are still my favorite band anywhere.
