Dead & Co Shoreline

Hey babe!

 I'm not sure yet...maybe Saturday!

would love to see you :)

sunday show makes it tough for Monday work

Hi CAT

Doubtful, but will be at TXR friday nite.

$35 is more palatable.

Hi Ro-

I expect to be at both, just goofin' around.

There are far worse ways to spend a weekend.

Nope, not me. I would love to see friends who will be there but I'll be home.

Have fun, everyone!

Home is where the heart is, and whether the music is going to be "mind melting" or not it probably won't suck, and there's definitely going to be a lot of heart both young & old at Shoreline that weekend (even if the music does suck a little bit).

For better and worse a lot of my heart will be there.

In the end, after all these years it's just another couple of rock 'n roll shows at the 'ol dump, with mostly really good songs and so many really good people.

And a Shakedown Scene! For those of you who love that bit.

At the end of the day there's just really nothing wrong with any of that (except maybe the Shakedown Scene) as much as we try to find it (except for maybe the Shakedown Scene).

Just go to the show.

Which ever show works for you.

Hey bud- lmk who the special guest ends up being...Karl D?!

Cool!

will be down early nearby for BBQ pregame...

looking for a cheapo lawn ticket, yo!

email in profile if anyone is holding 

Who else besides the 7 people who texted me are in?!?!

you crazy lurkers:)

I don't expect any Zoner to pony up for this - cause the cost of tickets to the show is enough expense as it is - but I'll be playing some Acoustic GD with the Moon Dog Bluegrass Band at a pre-show benefit in East Palo Alto prior to the Sunday show in exchange for a ticket!

----
We invite music lovers and humanitarians alike to join us for an afternoon service project at the Project WeHOPE homeless shelter in East Palo Alto on Sunday June 4th from 12-3:30pm. We are going to be honoring the homeless with a Day of Dignity by making facility improvements and painting a beautiful mural at the entrance to the shelter. This is a great opportunity for Bay Area music fans to make a difference in the lives of others and to help those struggling for their basic human needs.

For a $50 tax-deductible donation, participants will receive lunch, a limited edition Positive Legacy/Dead & Company hat, one FREE download of any show in the extensive Nugs.net catalog, live music courtesy of Moon Dog Bluegrass, and the satisfaction of giving back to the local community.

Might show up Saturday too but I have a bluegrass gig at the Sand Dollar in Stinson Beach mid day....

After party Saturday and Sunday

O'MALLEY'S SPORTS PUB, MOUNTAIN VIEW, 5 MINUTES FROM SHORELINE, 10:30PM

Music by Spirit of '76

We're in Ro! Maybe see you on Saturday,

I had two computers going right when these tickets went on sale and despite planning and effort, couldn't get a ticket. Was hoping to come down with my wife for the weekend (my birthday weekend). After getting skunked during public on-sale, we decided to go to Bottlerock instead (which was last weekend). Ended up being a good choice... but Damn those scalpers. 

Ms. Robo and I will be there Saturday. On the fence re Sunday, we'll see how it goes ;)

Have a great time, everybody!

Hafta' say my days of being smashed and standing all night in a crowd of SRO peeps to see/hear decently are officially over, although I've said that before. Even Phil in Central Park is basically a cattle herd.

Thats just me- have a blast to all who catch this tour!

Last night at TXR with Sless, gorgeous weather in the Bay, some Dead and Co in the sun

Warriors in the Finals...life is pretty good!

see you guys on Shakedown- safe travels :)

I still need a lawn for entry!!!

Warriors in the Finals...life is pretty good!<<<

Will you get a guaranteed rainbow at this show?

You kids be good, now!

I grant CAT Jersey Hug Distribution Proxy Rights.

Our friend Cha Cha is there. I hope it's warmer than last year. 

For what it's worth, Mayer doesn't sound anything like a Jerry clone on this Viola Lee.

Viola for the Nashville plug!

Give you this jail sentence you'll be Nashville bound...

the game however is more exciting, Go Preds!

Like that live YouTube link. thanks.

Love Mr Hart playing a pair of shoes for me and my uncle!

Nice link...thanks

Nice China Doll. Looks and sounds good. Thanks for the link.

Yes, very nice China

The Burb did a great job!

did Bobby Recuse himself during the eyes bass jam?

Wheel's a turning and in can slooooww doooowwwwnnn....   won't you try just a little bit harder?  

Painful

John Mayer & Co.

I couldn't watch anymore after first set not that there was anything bad about it. Mayer (or John Slayer as someone termed him on the stream chat) is oddly both so right *and* so wrong at the same time for the Jerry role in this band.... I don't dislike but I just can't listen to a whole show of it at home. I would probably have gone tonight or tomorrow but it's not in line with life plans at the moment. I can totally see why they are popular (although some of the comments on that stream...good lord...I guess people are still newly discovering the Dead every day). I'm glad Phil is not a part of this not in a spiteful way but just an aesthetic one. Oteil is great (although his haircut reminds me of a vag I came across when I was maybe 22) and it's cool he's taking to singing lead. 

Oteil singing China Doll was great!!!  Loved it!   But those Cap shows shredded!

That was a damn good rockin' show.

Really great jamming by Mayer in Playiin'.

Brilliant jamming in Eyes, rockin' Deal, old school and damn good Rhythm Devils bit (why can't Mickey play like that the whole show?).

Oteil is The Man!

Classic Bob Weir Looks Like Rain & Good Lovin', fun, fun, fun.

A damn fun show. The Dump absolutely full. Gate crashers, losers of all kinds, whiners of all kinds, kids and rockers of all kinds. 

A good ol' rock 'n roll show.

There was nothing wrong with what happened tonight.

LONG LIVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!!!!

And everything after.

It sounds like I'm playing a cassette and the motor on the player is too slow.

Comparing tempos to this show and Phil's last show, it's like a 68 VW bug and a Porsche.

Peace.

>>There was nothing wrong with what happened tonight.

Yes. That sounds like a VERY positive review.

I'd all seem much more natural if Frat Jerry headed to his amp stacks to take smoke breaks every so often

strange band for sure. 

very little chemistry. sounds like mayer and bobby are just taking turns at yelling into the mic. 

how do people dance to this?

anyway, caught candyman>fotd-pretty awful to say the least, fotd was a mess. zero flow to any of it. 

to each their own and all, that was some sad shit tho. 

Frat Jerry!! The Frat Man!

Good one.

I got a lawn ticket and am heading down for a Sunday evening party!  Hoping to find the Fuzzbuskets and hang with them.  Hope to see some of the rest of you as well.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Cat and OG! How did we miss?!

I had fun running around-

enjoy the show tonight, kids!

Jambands is listing "A Love Supreme" jam out of Space before The Wheel.  How was that?

Oteil singing China Doll was a new wrinkle.  Maybe a gesture towards Gregg Allman, since Oteil could't attend the funeral?

That is one sweet picture...............ah.............the west coast............ look out, look out, the........

I've watched some streams last year and this year. See how tonight goes, but I am interested in seeing this in a couple of weeks.

Not excited, just interested. Walk down, catch lawn seat see how it goes........

And yeah, I know the predominate crowd I will encounter.

And yes, I do not understand how people dance the same way to the music regardless of it's quality......tempo....

>>Gate crashers, losers of all kinds

By request. LOL

never miss a sunday show...

^^

Looks like OG, in the Parlor, with Anchor Beer & Surreality Dawg.

Have Fun Show and be careful.

Nice to see all the smiling faces, have a great show! 

>>>>Jambands is listing "A Love Supreme" jam out of Space before The Wheel.  How was that?

only caught the stream but, as always John can Free jam pretty well and the Love Supreme jam was present. However Weir seems to always pull the plug on the "space" section.... head scratch.

DeadCo is fun and glad they are on the road, but yeah they always lose me after the space, Viola was hot.

Of course OG has a "service dog".

Seems pretty selfish to drag one's pup to such an environment.

That was a lot of fun. Really nice to listen to Grateful Dead music with thousands of people that are super excited to be there.

I should have mentioned that I was in the tenth row, which is going to make a difference at any show.

The seat I was in cost $150, but I was fortunate and did not pay that price, which also makes a difference.

I have no problem with this band and three of the four times I've seen them I've really enjoyed the show. I wouldn't pay a lot of money or go out of my way to see them, but they're fun and they have moments, especially on the more rockin' stuff.

The Weir slow tempo's were there but it was only really noticeable for me on Viola, but what the hell, I just tried to adjust to their groove, and I took a couple of walkabouts during other slower portions of the show. Going to the top of the lawn at a sold-out show is always an interesting adventure.

Overall I think they're harmless good fun and sometimes a little bit more (and WAY better than I originally thought they'd be), I think Oteil does a great job, it's great to see Bob still doing well and I think it's great to see so many young people getting into it.

As for me, I think this old-timer will head out there again tonight, see a bunch of old and new friends, hopefully hear some good music and definitely have a good time.

No big whoop, just a little rock 'n roll on a Sunday night.

I don't think there is anything wrong with bringing a hound to the show, as long as said hound is comfortable there.

Mine has been to a few musical camp-outs and enjoyed H.I.M.self there.

He is Bright Boy and 'gets' not to make poop in the crowd.  Also he  likes meeting new people, and gets along with everyone.

Here is a nice SBD recording of the China Doll....

Cosmic Charlie has another stream going.

this stream sounds pretty good tonight http://mixlr.com/h2ogirlnora/

https://www.pscp.tv/mozaik_live/1YpKknmwnWjxj

Best so far; 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfXj4-YQe3s&feature=youtu.be

Listening to the H2ONora stream.  They are sounding better than the ones I listened to last year.

FOTM guitar solo was certainly 'rather busy'.

I'm sure the Light show is quite nice.

Of course I'm not sure if this is tonite's show or one from another night.

Silly me. 

I think H2OGirlNora was playing a JRAD recording ??

AnnieLaidHerHairDown seems to have the "Tonight" Shoreline going on at the Mxlr.

Listening to the H2ONora stream.  They are sounding better than the ones I listened to last year.>>>>

Stu I do not think that is the shoreline show.  Noodler posted yputube link which is the one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfXj4-YQe3s&feature=youtu.be

Thanks Noodler

Nice Scarlet Begonias on that :ive youtuber.  

Thanks KK.

Now listening to the familiar Weir rhythmic weed-wacker clang.  That other music sounded nice,  but too energetic for the DeadCos.

I'll listen to it on the clock at work tomorrow...uh, today.

Thanks Noodler.  Am Starting the first set of Sunday show.  

Also looking forward to reading some reviews.

I enjoyed last nights music better, but the Birdsong, Scarlet/Fire & Other One were rippin' and everything else was OK more or less.

And as I was reminded after the show, 6/4/95 was the final Bay Area show for the good ol', and they closed with Brokedown Palace that night as well.

It was a powerful ending 22 years ago, it was good again tonight.

A damn fun night overall.

Go to the show.

Oteil sang.

Oteil should sing all the Jerry wrenchers. love the timbre and grace at which he approached it.

Anyone but Weir

Regrettably I was a no show at the Saturday Shoreline DeadCo due to my own music making.

But this hi-light - Oteil Burbridge singing China Doll, in the wake of his personal loss of Butch Trucks, Colonel Bruce Hampton and Gregg Allman in the course of just a few weeks sounds pretty sweet.
Oteil can indeed sing with feeling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Hmqg2KOXY

Last night's throwdown started out slow and oddly with Weir trying to generate some crowd enthusiasm by singing acapella and tapping a tambourine to the beat of Samson & Delilah.   
The song was oddly paced and from the 200's where I was stuck never seemed to achieve lift-off.  

The set itself eventually found it's legs but the earlier tunes had some definite rough spots with Brown Eyed Women > El Paso (w Mayer noodling but not quite grokking the underpinnings of the fills in that song) > (a fairly funky) They Love Each Other, an exploratory Cassidy and a stretched out Birdsong with a biffed Coda (that Weir acknowledged after the song concluded and rocking Dough Knees.....

Set 2 was a Horse of a very different color - but this could be due to the proximity effect - as I was stubbed down to the lower 100s and wound up in 101 F and the dynamic was significantly more intense, as were the jams in Help > Slip > Franklins. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcdx_N2Zqo).  

The Scarlet > Fire that followed was equally sublime.

Mickey and Billy got tribal and techno during their segment followed by a brief space leading into a pounding but concise Other One that ended with a period instead of exclamation point.
Weir stepped up topically with a veiled political commentary buried in the many verses of A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvxTZkjjQ68.

Casey Jones was solid with a very jerky crescendo and shift to an uptempo trainwreck that came to a screaching halt and a bluesy ending....

The Brokedown Encore was very difficult to leave in order to beat the exit traffic.  It was a beauty.

Other than the nutty increase in ticket prices for anything but the lawn and the $16 beers - the music, scene and social vibe were sweet to experience yet again.

If Dead Co be near ya - be there.....

This was posted to Reddit pretty funny

Last night I posted up on a great spot on the lawn with my girlfriend, plenty of room and a great view. Shoreline is a bit of a weird venue to navigate, but once you figure it out, all is well, and for me, all was very well. I sat down, took a few bitter altoids, and waited until the show started.

I got to talking to my neighbors before the music started, and it turns out that these two guys sitting next to me who looked a bit confused weren’t coming up on anything… they had somehow come to the show under the impression that it was a John Mayer show, for his new album. Somehow, someway, they got tickets, made it in, and never questioned what was going on until they realized they were surrounded by a rainbow of hippies and tie-dye. They were rolling a spliff though, so they appeared to at least have that going for them.

Let me be judgmental real quick – these were two college-aged dudes looking to cruise on girls and listen to some watery pop music with some screaming blues guitar. They had no fucking clue what they just signed up for. I told them to expect a 20 minute drum solo, and I don’t think they thought I was serious.

When the first set started, they looked a bit confused, but started to really get into it when the band started getting jazzy in Playin’. As soon as Viola Lee Blues started up, these guys were dancing like madmen and jamming. One of them turned to me and said he had no fucking clue that music could get like this.

During the first setbreak, these guys looked stunned, enthralled, and excited. They were talking to another guy nearby about the band now, learning about the history, which branch of the band this is, who the players were, everything. One of them mentioned that he really wanted to check out Phil and Terrapin Crossraods. The other guy was taking down notes in his phone of good Dead shows to hear… I gave him 6/10/73 and the Watkins Glen Soundcheck Jam, I hope it finds them well.

Now, since Shoreline is a bit of a shitty venue, I unfortunately lost track of them during drums… however, one guy had his eyes closed and arms wide open as he chanted to himself along with the drums, and the other guy stared slack-jawed and wide-eyed at the stage, with both bewilderment and joy fighting to be known. I got poised to leave during that time, and then spent the last bit of the set waiting up by the exit… you gotta do what you gotta do at Shoreline, otherwise you are stuck in hours of traffic.

I can get the disdain for the band from some people, and I know that’s going to be the case forever. It will always be the case until Jerry’s zombified corpse comes back to the stage and plays again, and even then it wouldn’t be enough for some folks. For me, this is real. Last night was real. The way the band navigated in and out of the sludge was real enough for me… and these two dudes who came in expecting their body to be a wonderland, instead got to meet Bobby as their wonderland, and it totally blew these guys to shreds. That was all so very real for so many of us in the building last night. I shared it with these guys, and I hope to share it with you.

See you folks again for tonight. Leaving for lot in a few hours… ain’t nothing in the world like one more show ahead down the road.

Two fantastic shows. I really wish I could a couple more but it's not in the cards this year.....but man, the two nights at TXR followed by DeadCo and this old man is well satiated!

Spirit 0f 76 was killing it, esp Sunday - go see this band  (you have to travel to santa cruz area)

our boy Burt keeps ascending to the upper echelon of Zoner bass players (and beyond)

Mocking the Modulus - fingers flying on both hands - Scythe

Matt Hartle slays it ( ross u booking txr?)  no fancy watches, but some proper respect to the mentor

http://matthartlemusic.com/spirit-of-76

( the warm up band at the dump was pretty good - exceed my expectations )

tom backpedaling - good to see (discount front rows???)

only got in Sunday, lots of good moments - Im thinking LanceyPants was just tired for slowfest saturday

xox anyway

go to the shows

as many as you can that is

>… they had somehow come to the show under the impression that it was a John Mayer show, for his new album. Somehow, someway, they got tickets, made it in, and..

I hope you explained that band was playing GRATEFUL DEAD, and not John Mayer originals.

Lance spot on with your recent reviews and comments. And  I to preferred the first  night as well.  On a very personal note I really like opening night in Vegas. 

El Nino....thanx for posting that review from Reddit. Love it. 

Treblemaker.....If Dead Co be near ya - be there.....>>>>>>  

Fine review bro

Noodler Thanx so much again for keeping us all in step and posting all those great links.. 

Hi Ro.  Awesome and I mean Awesome Photo.  Any chance you can give me a breakdown of who is who in that?  

Ro, awesome is a word that is tossed around all to often, and although accurate, I do not think it does that photo justice. With the bright sunshine and brilliant smiles I think a better description is "superbly luminous".  You rock Gurly!

Dean Sottile's pretty fun and accurate review of the Sunday Show:
http://gratefuldean.com/second-at-shoreline-mickey-goes-shopping-for-new...

Night 2 at Shoreline got started just like a lot of other nights so far on the tour only different. Weir came out with a tambourine. Weir needs a tambourine like Mickey needs women’s loafers. It looked like Stevie Nicks went a year without getting her lip waxed. I’m not sure if the tambourine threw him off or it was just a completely rhythmless moment but the brother couldn’t tap the tambourine on time and couldn’t enter the song properly. Maybe in his mind, he was back at a campfire singing Blue Mountain. No big deal, things got back together pretty quick and the Church service began. My favorite part of Samson was always Garcia’s backup. He would stand over there and fire off notes in rapid succession, chin pinned to his chest as the massive sound of Samson would make runs up and down the ladder. He would play with his knobs so much I was afraid he might miss some notes that were supposed to be there but he rarely did. Precisely at the right moment yet a second behind where I might expect it to be, Garcia would take the 2 or 3 steps to the mic, look over his glasses and drop it smooth as a greased otter, “If I haaaaaad myyy waaaaay, If I haaaaaaaaaaad my waaaaaay aaaaaaay, If I haaaaaaaaaaaaaad my waaaaaaaaaay!” Mayer did Donna impressions instead…

I’m not gonna write much about the first set because I don’t think there was much worthy of the time. I dig El Paso but it was muy despacio. Dough Knees was a fun closer! I was having a hard time thinking they might throw up a stinker on a Sunday. I should know from hundreds of past experiences, that isn’t possible. Not at Shoreline, not on Sunday...."

Hey KK!

I sent you the names, I think you may have met Doug before at TXR

here is the other pic, funny, looks like Jay Blakesberg is looking at Cynthia's boobs- lol

right after we took it, Bill Walton walked up

lets just say we were so close you good see Mayers sneakers were so damn white

they hurt your eyes!

Doug took this of Bobby while Oteil was soloing 

LMAO​

"A Love Supreme." Yeah. Ok.
