That's what I was thinking, Ras. Not only is the music they're making hot, it's also really interesting. It's not just another GD cover band. It's a unique sound that pulls in jazz and blues.
Just talked the my brother. Regular parking was $50, but it was $100 to park in the "Shakedown" lot.The real kicker is that they let vendors stay overnight, and they kicked everyone else out. Shit, I'd pay an extra $50 to camp in the lot!
Great tour and I thank bobbywolfman immensely for all the great soundboard streams. My absolute highlight so far has been the Help>Slip>Frank from Bethel on July 1st. The whole 2nd set is still up on youtube (proshot). So worth the listen.
You have to listen. It's Grateful Dead music, but not a copy. It has its own flair and sound. It's kind of like the band has taken the songs and made them their own.
The big standout for me was verse 1 of the Dark Star from Wednesday night. It went really far out, but always kept its theme of Dark Star. To my ears, that's something no other incarnation has been able to do. It's not like DSO copying something, but rather a new sound altogether, able to go to those places.
That's about as close as I can come to putting it in words.
A few shows back they split up H>S>F and went back to finish Franklin's after Space (not out of Space but I think out of Days Between) which was extremely well-executed.
> That's about as close as I can come to putting it in words.
Those are good words, BK. Here's a few of mine.
I've always thought of Dark Star as a universe unto itself, and as such, it's a place of (nearly) infinite possibilities. The same can be true of other songs as well, but Dark Star is really a very simple tune, and it's that simplicity that makes room for so many different pathways.
It sounds like D$C is traveling their own paths in that space, and through the GD catalog more generally.
Birdsong and Eyes are two tunes that I'd generally be happy to never hear live, from any band. I feel like there's always something really needed that's missing. For me, Jerry was the only person who could bring those songs to life. I was pleasantly surprised by DeadCo's versions of both.
>You missed my point, Alan. They do it in a new and unique way. It's not just copying the GD.<
I got it. I'm not a hater but not on their bus.
I just didn't follow your usually clear as day logic this time -- in terms of the jazz and blues thing -- considering it's a basic tenet of the original grateful dead mythos -- each player bringing in a unique sound from different historical backgrounds and the collective result being greater than the individual contributions. Obviously the GD had its jazz and blues influences - primal to their existence -- so not unexpected that Oteil and Mayer and Chimenti should add to the canon / do that also / "cover" that approach. They are highly skilled, experienced professionals. I'm glad they get some folks to achieve liftoff -- god knows the world needs it.
To me they'll stop being a cover band by definition when they introduce some original material. It's been 7 years without a "new" song. But hey -- that's just like the original GD, too!
I agree. An album of original music would definitely bring them some legitimacy. I have to believe that they've made a very conscious decision to stay in their lane, which for the most part is Jerry tunes.

Believe it or not Al this
Believe it or not Al this band has an added dimension that somehow exceeds the Grateful Dead's.
Yep its true.
This tour was proof positive of their unpredictable jams brilliance. Citifield was ground zero of the magic.
Yep its true.
Don't hear it or feel it ? Well I feel sorry for ya's.
