Great weekend of shows in NYC. Good to see you Bob. Beano, we missed you by a few minutes at Stout before you headed over to Gingerman.

Saturday was awesome, Sunday was pretty awesome too. How about that "Time" last night? Wowza.

 

[Vortex]

good time over the three days. Nothing like the energy of NYC. Sorry it was so quick Beano, but its always hard to meet up at shows. I did not even find JJ until Sunday

Hmm...Best Buy, (which I believe is the former Nokia Thtr) and even more so Radio City, are certainly venues that would attract my presence more than the MSG shows that I missed this past run. Also, Mizner Park Ampithtr would be a cool venue....My mom lives near Boca Del Vista...

Boston shows are at the end of my winter kids ski vacation break. I will think about it. I like Wallingford, but that will be a tough one. Glad I have a few weeks to settle the $$$ of x-mass and make my plan. My guess is I will do the 3 Boston shows.

Explained our plans to my bride. I am in for all three in Boston. I married Well.:idea:

some stinging remarks from Bill K on Furthur and John K

sorry, I love Warren, but John K is the better fit IMO

Bill is awesome - he's a free wheelin' freak.. I agree with him... I'm in the Warren lead/take the music somewhere crazy camp... I really enjoyed Warren with the Dead when Bobby wasn't stepping on his solos. haha... Also dug joan Osbourne too..

That being said I enjoyed Further.. I enjoy DSO too. We're all hoping for either DSO or Further at Mountain jam this year.

I'm TOTALLY STOKED to see him with Kimock and Porter for the Phish after show in NYC.

I love this from the Billy K interview:
http://www.stateofmindmusic.com/entry/1128/Paddling-Out:-A-Conversation-with-Bill-Kreutzmann/page=1

When you're reunited someday with Jerry and the rest of the boys at the Great Gig in the Sky‚ what will be the first song you play?

How about "Stella Blue." Then I think "Bertha." "Sugaree"… I like them all. "Turn On Your Lovelight" and "Good Lovin'."

 

[Vortex]

I saw the interview on PZ. Kind of a sour grapes statement IMO. furthur Pretty much filled MSG. Kind of hard to argue with if it works. Warren has the vocals and great southern sound. I loved the Q, I like Joan.

I would put furthur on the same level as the Q. The Dead a few steps lower. (not the GD) Joe russo rocks. Young energy. I like John k period. Its the sound many changed our lives for. I'll l take John over Warren these days. Never thought I would say that. Still take Steve K over anyone else alive.

 

[deadheadskier]

I agree

I read Billy's comments as sour grapes. John K not a good soloist? really? and bashing Furthur's tempo? Yes, there are slow nights, but Russo drives Phil and Bob way more than Billy and Mickey did recently.

I thought Warren was fantastic with the Dead in 2004. Thought he was mediocre in 2009. Probably because they had Jimmy Herring in 2004 to help out with the guitar parts.

interesting stuff. iwas more of a garcia/hunter fan more than a dead fan really and stopped going to shows in the late eigthies when jerry started getting weak - it was too upsetting. none of the incarnations of the band ever interested me too much as i always thought there was better things to listen to across many genres. i was always a little dissapointed that bob weir never seemed to reach his potential, i expected him to develop more good stuff along the veins of kingfish and bobby and the midnights etc. - seeing those bands back in the day broadened my horizons with folks like alfonzo johnson, billy cobham etc. if he built on any of that in the last few decades i certainly missed it...

I hear ya... I searched for something new then. The shows just weren't doing it for me - Jerry was often times a disappointment. I discovered younger bands like Phish that satisfied my need for musical exploration. And expanded myself into bluegrass and jazz..

I would trade anything for a chill JGB show..
