Noodler doing double-duty tonight. Deadicated to the core.

Getting it posted early, have a lot of gardening to do before we get our first deluge of rain since the spring!  

Thinking of doing the free stream of Dead & Co, since I paid for the 3 day Phil stream, and can watch afterwards (save the best for last, lol)   

Regular people can't listen to 2 shows at once, I bet Noodler can handle 4. 

I'm doing one audio show, phil or deadco whichever's free,, if they're both free, whichever is mixed the best,,, and of course yankee baseball on the video.

It's been great these past few weeks,, when the yankees are sucking, deadco's been jamming so you can't get that upset about it.

I'm guessing he'll open up a wormhole if he tries to keep the setlist for both shows at the same time. That could be pretty cool though.

But wait, I have to watch Bill Maher tonight too! (LOL)

With Billy Strings playing up in your neck of the woods, it seems like it would be a shame not to tune in for a bit of that too.

Famine > Feast

Would love to see Billy Strings tonight at the Edgefield, but between the big storm coming in, and several headaches in life in general ($ going to 3 crowns), it'll be domestics this evening with (hopefully) grateful music!  (and an early home Football game tomorrow down the block at 12:30)

I watched the preview last night and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the reminder.

What a scenic backdrop. I would certainly have a better time in the mountains at a smaller venue for a Phil show than in a stadium anywhere for Bob and co.

^ druba are these your photos?

i am so confused about this thing you do

 

It's a little less complicated than it use to be, thanks to learning how to take screen shots (though le zone doesn't like them, even after dumbing down, so post on FB, then post over here).  The rest is just finding links and posters, but it is time consuming (especially the pic part)

Hold my paddle while I straddle this saddle.

JILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha I was only off by a couple of states

Goddamn weir throwing me all off 

Nice tribute (while Phil gets some O2)

Is Phil done, I'm just hearing deadco at freakflag?

"This is your drummer talking to you."

Phil's still playing, C-R. The link I posted was from above.

Terrapin

I'm hearing shakedown

Uh-oh. Dueling Dews. Figures this would be where the wormhole opens up.

Now the stream switched to unbroken chain, weird

how anyone can even compare phil to those other guys will always be beyond my comprehension

Phil is god

Bobby  is old.        
But god bless (es) him

 

ghrahm is not my cuppa

Has improved some since I first saw him at Ashkenaz and at Mountain Aires   At the side stayed with a proud little jilly and Philly beaming. 

 

But WTF some people think I'm an asshole

 

i want Q

Phil's friends seemed to have kicked it up a notch from the Thursday show IMO. Real good stuff, except for that MHB The Roses,, that song brings any set vibe to a screeching halt. Many thanks to the FF Flyer who started off with Bob at Wrigley, then after a couple songs God said enough of this shit as He opened up the Chicago sky to rain so we could enjoy Phil, and FFF hardly missing a beat switched us right over to Vail. Seamless sweetness.

Go to the show. Awesome time up on the hill last night.

Ran into a Zoner from Georgia. Can't remember his handle. Reverend Willy Greene? maybe 

 

I thought last night was some high energy fun. I didn't think the MHBTR killed the momentum, Ras, but hey, maybe that's just me.

lltd come to the Q !!!!!

That roses didn't do it for me either but when Phil introduces Grahame as his best friend; I'll take it (:

Q Q Q

 

Everyone's got a song they'd prefer not to hear live,, MHBTR is mine,, always has been, even with Jerry singing it. Slows a set down to a crawl, too wishy washy. My piss break and restock the beers tune. So I guess it does serve a purpose. The rest of the show was sweetness. 

Unbroken chain from the freeview was rockin'

The playing > unbroken chain was a half hour long!!!   

if I had to complain because that's what we do

Venue was awesome, easy parking with a short walk

they had free golf cart taxis but we enjoyed the walk

no lines to the bathroom or beverages

let us bring in sandwiches

could smoke freely

grabbed great seats from the venue the day before the show

brought my new love to her first "Dead" event and she loved every minute of it

(she loved Must Have been The Roses but especially They Love Each Other)

Talked about going again tonight on the ride home

So my complaint is the sound was a bit muddy in our great seats for most of Rueben but they dialed it in.

Weird how there's no soundboard anymore. Just a guy walking around the crowd adjusting the sound from his phone

but my real complaint is Holly needs to be let loose. As good as a listener as she is, I think she should just play more to her skill set instead of trying to fit in so much.

 

p.s. Is that the first time I've heard Phil's different arrangement of Ripple? Kinda reminded me of Jane's Addiction cover on Deadicated

 

 

except for that MHB The Roses,, that song brings any set vibe to a screeching halt.

One of Garcia's finest ballads. Any show where Musta Binda was played was epic. Turn in your deadhead card please! :)

MHBTR is just like SOF.

that rockin ripple was rad
