Grateful Shred in Ojai Tonight
Forums:
Any other SoCal zoners going to the show tonight? This is my first time seeing this band, and I'm psyched to be seeing a show at the Libbey Bowl again. It's quickly become one of my all time favorite venues.

Well then dolittle, I guess Mike won't look for you there.
I've not seen this band, but if I remember what I read about them, they're all professional LA studio musicians who put this group together as just a fun off-night goof and discovered they enjoyed it and that many other people did too.
I'd guess they're all pretty good players and probably not a "Grateful Dead impersonator" in the bunch, which should attract some folks to them.
We'll be expecting a review gentlemen.

All I know Lance is I watched
All I know Lance is I watched a show they did out east (maybe Brooklyn Bowl?) a few years ago and they were lackluster and seemed very intimidated and not confident in their playing and basically they sucked..
Here it is. I was right in my first assessment. But who am I to tell someone what they can like.

Love the Shred. They approach the music via the '72 to '74 lens, doing so in a unique fashion that blends in a fabric of Laurel Canyon.
I think they really stand out among GD cover bands.

They are a very good and fun band that I would recommend seeing. I really enjoyed the show. The venue was great too and packed with happy campers for good music under the stars which was just about perfect to me.
Some key highlights were Eyes, China>Rider and Scarlet>Fire.

doolittle, there's a difference between trolling and just being a dick, and you don't seem to be very adept at either one of them.
Last night was a good time. As I mentioned earlier, the LIbbey Bowl has become one of my favorite places to see a show. Ojai is a cool little town, and the bowl is located in a nice little park right in the heart of town. There's about 1000 seats and a little slice of lawn that holds another few hundred people, so it's one of the smaller outdoor venues of this kind I've been to. It's also one of the most relaxed places I've seen shows. They let you leave the ticketed area and come back in, and while they've had ushers patrolling the aisles at previous shows I've been to there, there were none to be found last night, nor was there a uniformed police presence, and everything worked out just fine. There was dancing down front and in the aisles from the first note to the last.
As for the band, I was pretty impressed by them for the most part. From what I've read about them, they have four core players, three guitarists and a bass player, supplemented by a rotating cast of other players. Last night, there were seven players on stage, with two drummers and a keyboardist joining the core four.
I thought the sound was kind of muddy for the first couple of tunes, and while they got that straightened out fairly quickly, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the three guitars approach. Don't get me wrong, it was rhythmically powerful to have all three guitars in sync at times, the big Jam in the middle of EOTW comes to mind, but at the same time I thought it was kind of lacking the conversational, call-and-response qualities that really make this kind of music so interesting to me. It was also hard to distinguish the guitar voices; there were two Telecasters and an SG, and with two Teles in the mix, I found it difficult to tell who was playing what at times.
That said, the band definitely achieved lift-off a few times over the course of the evening, and they got me up and dancing a few times too, even though my arthritic hips were telling me to keep my ass in my seat. I also want to say here that this band and this show had a bit of a disadvantage in my mind, coming as it did just a few days after I watched the webcasts of the Billy & The KIds shows from Red Rocks. It's probably not fair to compare the two bands, but it's hard not to after seeing Kreutzmann and Company really shine in Colorado last week.

No, Kadlecic's "literally risking their lives" beef was with a Florida band named Headstash.

Two of the guys went back to
Two of the guys went back to their own band(Mapache) -- one being the tastiest guitar player in the band. It became a revolving cast once those 2 left. Dan is the closest bass player to Lesh out there. The other dude that sings is cool but the band was better before the Mapache guys left. I'm done with GD covers but those dudes and Dan's dialing in of the sound worked well.

I'm guessing permanent --- I've been there, trying to stay alive with only gig bucks is a hard life. You need a nurse or teacher wife that actually supports the household. Countless women have kept the music alive. I've been in numerous bands over the years -- it is akin to a marriage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Many bands were stronger with certain players but the dynamic doesn't work.

Me too, although at the Ojai show, there were probably a couple hundred people dancing down in front of the stage. We stayed in our seats, which were in the last rows, but I'm thinking I should probably get tested this week.

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been a bit more info on which shows had multiple positives.
After looking at their CA show list again, I see that of the three only the small Felton Music Hall (Moldy DonQ's) was an indoor show.
I know the new owners fixed the place up, but I wonder if they got all the mold out of that musty old dump?

>Nancy,
Thank you for the email. Currently it is our understanding that no one has contracted Covid at any of the outdoor shows. For these Greensky shows we are going to be super safe, ensuring employees are wearing masks and enforcing the pods, and we feel incredibly confident it will be a safe situation.
We really encourage everyone to get vaccines, and are not going to be giving any more shifts to employees who are not vaccinated moving forward, and everyone employees and patrons are going to need to wear masks indoors for a while. We are considering the mandated vaccine position, though as a small business its hard to be the ones setting that policy when its unfortunately become such a hot button issue.
I hope you feel comfortable and safe coming to the Greensky shows like we do, otherwise im happy to issue you a refund. thank you for your support!

Nancy, I am not his spokesperson. We're Facebook friends. It's funny that even your questions sound like accusations. Well, not really funny, more off-putting. What do you mean, why can't I say his name? Are you saying it that way because I didn't jump when you first asked? The answer to why I didn't answer with his name is that I was in a long medical appt. I'm home now.
It was at the Paper Creek Mill Saloon in Forest Knolls. His name is Danny Uzilevsky. I admire his coming forward to let people know what the story is.
"My dear fellow West Marin folks and music lovers...
As you are likely aware, there was a significant outbreak of Covid-19 following our Papermill show on Sunday July 18th. Lots of attendees (both vaccinated and not) contracted the virus afterward. I was one of those people, as was Essence.
While I'm fairly certain that I wasn't the one to infect people, but rather an infectee, I feel must take responsibility for not letting you all know sooner."
There's more, it's worth reading.
