Yes, you are right, Milestones 

Knock knock

I haven't played those tunes for 30 years, need to play the albums again sometime, try keep it all straight in my head, lol...    I vaguely remember an old jazz cat telling me there was some kind of argument between Miles and Monk, supposesdly took partial form in a half dozen songs with the melody just slightly twisted.  Any of you old timers and jazz finaciados remember that story in better detail?  I remember that songs like;  "So What",  "Well You Needn't", "I didn't",  and a few others I'm blanking right now, were all variations on a melody that went back and forth between the two legends

Listened from terrapin on...same as last year...to me..theres just no oomph...therefore, no goosebumps getting to "terrapin" etc....days,between sugar mag knockin seemed a lil bi polar...lol

^^^

Hasn't been any "oomph" with these tunes in a quarter century or more really.

But good times still have been had since then for sure.

I had a good time last night, we had seats on the right side about half way back. Sound was decent, it was hot and humid last night, damn. Those big ass fans under the roof were not spinning fast enough for me! Here are a couple pics from my view.

Nice shots! thanks for sharing. Anymore I gotta have that AC blowin hard at such events. Have they been doing the jazzy stuff a lot? thats kind of cool to include them, even just a theme in a transition. What did you think RickP S?

Love the way that 2nd set looks especially pre drums 

They would do well to lay off compositions that they can't handle. This is a trainwreck.

good ole hot ass lakewood .....its really looking run down now days ....sounded great in the seated area , but back on the lawn sounded weak and soft ...it was packed out though , still shakedown seemed timid ....the sound over all was great , musicians all were great ...the gosh darn slow bobby tempo of everything was hard to dance too ...i get a better work out dancing at a phish show

That first yootoob link of the nugs stream is out of sync like a Godzilla flick.

Sounds good, tho.

Had great time. House was pretty packed. Sound was really good in the Pav. (middle left) where we were. Thought it started to get going from Dire Wolf on...

These guys are flying without a net and not afraid to take chances. If they flub they acknowledge, smile and move on.

Milestones was pretty damn cool.

Here's a few pics. taken by my daughter.

Now on to Phish: 

3) Northernly Island > 1) Dayton > 1) Pittsburgh 

My god, you lucky dog, did you actually witness Mayer & Co literally transform into Miles Davis? 

>> These guys are flying without a net and not afraid to take chances. If they flub they acknowledge, smile and move on.

I admit that I'm pretty fixated on this Miles Davis thing, but let's examine that notion for a moment shall we?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM_tsyaBHqw&feature=youtu.be

Had they come out and played this theme as a toss-off, doing it on the fly coming out of Space... well, it would still be cringeworthy, how badly they mangled the tune. 

The fact that they literally wrote this into their setlist and ostensibly practiced it (pretty fucking obvious that they didn't, or at least you can bet that anyone named Jeff Chimenti didn't know the actually changes to this song) moves this from the territory of cringeworthy right up to the border of truly bad taste. "Pissing in the fans ear," is a phrase I think I've seen tossed around before.

Now the idea that this band would tackle John Coltrane's most important work, "A Love Supreme" – that is truly offensive. Take your fucking frat bro band and keep regurgitating the same 3/4 speed covers that you've been covering for 50 years, but please leave real art out of it. Thanks.

^^^ Lol... You're a funny lil dude/sis getting all worked up.

Some people think this is better than 90s GD. 

Jerry's worst 95 performance is better than this crap.

You do know that was written in "after" the show was over before posting it right?

That's cool... Great post!

So do you think they practiced it or didn't they?

>>  You're a funny lil dude

I think it's funny that people think it's good. "No accounting for taste." 

I said it was pretty damn cool...

Hence "These guys are flying without a net and not afraid to take chances."

Why you so hostile BRO? lol

Didn't they jam A Love Supreme at Shoreline?

Somewhere in this thread...

https://www.vivalazone.org/other-stuff/dead-co-shoreline

I'm willing to bet Chimenti knows the changes. 

i don't think dead&co take any chances. 

its all very boring and stale. 

Yeah, and I know it isn't saying much, but I'm willing to bet that Jeff Chimenti is the only guy in that band who knows shit about the composition of any Miles Davis or John Coltrane song.

This version of Milestones was very solid, with 4 from Dead & Co onstage....

08/08/04 (Sun)  Tweeter Center at the Waterfront - Camden, NJ

Set 1: Sitting On Top Of The World > Bertha > New Speedway Boogie, You Remind Me, Stagger-Lee

**Baba Jingo > Milestones > Baba Jingo**

Brown-Eyed Women, Mason's Children

The masochist in me keeps giving DeadBro a listen.

I can normally get through 20-25 seconds. Mayer's technically astute yet incessantly soulless guitar chops are too painful. 

>> 4 from Dead & Co onstage

And at least one glaring omission. Not even comparable. Thanks for the tip though, you're right that is proper and solid. Night and day compared to today's touring trainwreck.

"Yardstones", maybe.

It was pretty weak.

I smell a jazz fan.  The GD always slipped in mangled themes of other tunes and it was cool just to hear them try.  I mean, you never heard Jerry forget a lyric or solo on songs he actually wrote? Not trying to be a trump, just saying I personally like the fact they explored a little and noodled something different. Dats all.

here is a good blog post about the GD music and Jazz:   http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/dead-and-jazz.html

Good point, Fly.  It's a common thing for the young Jazz fan to become hyper-critical about other music.  I remember a period in the early 90's when all I was listening to was Jazz, Bluegrass, Blues, Classic Soul and Reggae, and had decided that all modern commercial music sucked.  It's why I skipped past bands like Primus and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and practically missed out on Grunge until the very end when I was living with a bunch of Humboldt kids in their early 20s who got me to finally listen to Nirvana right before Kurt checked out.  Over time, I came to view the term "Jazz afficionado" as the equivalent of uptight, arrogant poseur.

The GD indeed had a long history of mangling other music forms in their weird hybrid of Americana.  Sometimes they could nail it (think, "You Win Again", "Sing Me Back Home", "Hey Pocky Way", "Good Times"), and some times they fell flat on their faces.  It was a running joke with my friends in the early 90's that they had forgotten how to play that most simplest of musical forms, the Blues.  What was admirable and lovable about them was that they tried without any posturing about how they looked.  They were just trying to groove on the music they loved, and to share that vision with their fans.

Umm, Rick?

Was your face stolen, 'er what?
