Yes, but I guess it warrants it's own thread!
Two shows does not a tour make (yet.)
But seriously though... zzzzzz
I thought this was going to be a thread about the other Furthur.
One of the main reasons I have enjoyed Phil and Friends over the years is John Molo. This is not going to be good.
You guys wouldn't judge a Phish show without listening to it, so why are you judging a new line up without hearing them?
I'm sick of Phil and (especially) Bobby trying to be the Grateful Dead.
Phil & Friends spreads out a bit from that but not much.
This is just ridiculous.
Weir better watch out. If he gets sick, Rob Eaton will be brought in with a fake beard and no one will be the wiser.

I guess this lineup has gotten together informally in the past, and according to the guys on the GD channel, it's a great lineup.....we'll wait and see..

absolutely.
There is a good reason Molo has been Phil's #1 man for the past 10+ years
I have no beef with Russo playing with Phil. Molo may have had his own reasons for moving on to something new.
I just wish Phil would do something new.
He should be starting a free jazz band with Russo

Thow in a couple top-notch soloists and they'll sell out nightclubs in major markets. I can think of plenty of :syf: fans who have no interest in P&F/RD/thdead/toos, etc but would totally jump at a chance to see Phil do something truly new & different. Add them to the fans who'll go to anything :syf: related and they'll do just fine.
perhaps.
but i was just making a generalization that gd/jamband type stuff is where the $$$'s at as opposed to the "struggling jazz artist" gig.

I think Phil is stuck in the jamband genre no matter what he does.
Might as well play out those credits rather than sit around flogging the same old horse.
I think Phil just probably loves playing the GD catalog, and consistently has a blast doing it.
I, for one, am thrilled to have seen one of the remaining GD members play their songs. It is about the closest I will ever get to actually seeing the GD (even though it's not even close I'm sure), but in 10 years from now, or likely less, NO ONE will even get that opportunity. It will be a story I can tell my grand kids I guess.

i'm actually curious about this...... because Joe Russo with another drummer is going to be... weird. Add in John Kadlecik and well....
AHAHAHAHAHA oh shit Son!!! Who wants to bet that John punches the shit out of Bobby when they bust into The Other One and Bobby starts singing:

trembles and explodes. it left a

I bet not.
Random Other One arrangements, lol.
i did that, because thats how Bobby sang it when they played the Pepsi Arena. err... Times Union Center.
it was so lame. i hate having to say that, but it was..... it was my FIRST ever live Other One, and I couldn't even sing along to it.... that ruined the rest of the show for me, unfortunately. and it pissed me off even more that i was annoyed by it. i don't get why he just can't sing it like it's supposed to be sung. blah.
Reason #267 that I would not go see "The Dead" or "Furthur" or whatever.
FWIW - I think Russo and Molo have very similar playing styles - them both being very solid "pocket" drummers. I think Russo will hold back these two nights and not hit so many crashes :-)
I'm very interested to hear this...

their is nothing "struggling" about Phil Lesh. his book alone was a national best-seller.
personally my All-Star Phil band would be:
Phil - bass
John Zorn - saxophone
Herbie Hancock - keys
Jon Fishman - drums
Derek Trucks - guitar

Matt, since you are obviously addressing this to me, what was meant by that comment was that the arrangements of the songs run more along the lines of the Grateful Dead and less along those of Bobby and Phil's new arrangements and strange phrasing since Jerry's passing. Consider that for this summer's Dead tour, more than a few Dead songs were re-arranged, some in bizarre ways.
But this most recent incarnation should come as no surprise considering that "fake" Jerry has spent years learning Jerry's phrasing and mimicking him in DSO. In the past, the lead players, especially those for Phil, have all brought their own ideas to Jerry's role.....for better or worse. As I believe RJ pointed out in this thread and many others have echoed, he would rather see a complete departure from this reliance on the Grateful Dead catalog.
Sorry, if I repeated an oft seen comment on boards. I was not aware that this "always" happens with every incarnation. I was simply giving you some initial observations from David Gans, maybe you know him? I do and he is someone I sort of think knows a thing or two about the Dead. Next time I will elucidate a little more clearly my statements.
I wasn't debating whether it was true or not, just observing that it does get said every single time.
FWIW, I think David Gans has about as much ability to assess whether or not this Furthur incarnation is the best since whenever as I do.

As I said, I was not aware of that, but thanks for sharing. In the future, I will refrain so as not to offend your sensibilities.
And FWIW, I enjoy everyone's opinions whether it is from someone who has seen hundreds of shows of from someone like yourself who hasn't. They are all valid to me. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about this incarnation.
It sounds like you were offended, I was merely observing.
I saw as much stated on Phil Zone...
QuoteUmm Seriously, only a few, fine words to describe this show_ UN_FUCKING_BELIEVABLE ! Never, (500 Concerts- not just ...) seen ANYHTHING that compares. These guys are on FIRE !
Peace

Interesting observation, as I said I haven't seen it anywhere else but I only hang at LL, to each his own interpretation.
So anyway, let's discuss more meaningful things, such as music, which is why we are here in the first place. I happen to like Furthur but then again I must preface this by saying that I like Dead incarnations. I enjoy seeing them twist and re-interpet the catalog even though at times it might lead to EPIC fails. I also prefer Phil's bands over Ratdog but that might just be a taste issue and that I am not a fan of horns in rock. That being said, I also understand those who would like to see the boys move in different directions.
So why do I like this Furthur? Well the drummers are fantastic, right on point. In fact, I am really surprised at how in the pocket they are. A lot of practice has gone down here and I would expect a full tour next year. Russo has shelved his loose cymbal, open high hat driven identity and Lane, well he has always been a monster in my book. GREAT SYNCOPATION between the two, really neat interplay. You can tell that "fake Jerry" is a little hesitant, he has big shoes to fill and he is driving two guys I would imagine he has spent his life dreaming to play entire shows with, so considering this is first show I must say he melted face solid. Man, it must feel great to be in his shoes at the moment. I have to say I much prefer this tone to Warren's. Chimenti has some nice little tricks and sounds up his sleeves. I must say I found myself missing the guy from Particle, I thought he tripped things out to another level with his weird interjections of techno sounds. Phil is unbelievable and Bobby is a freakin' chord master and he sounds great in the mix. In my very subjective opinion, and yes there are flubs, these guys sound great together. I will post my review of the songs once I am done listening, I am nearly through the show.
By the way, the aud I seeded at LL sounds awesome except that the vocals are a little back behind the music. But the music itself is just fantastic, really nice separation. RJ I believe the mics are the same Phopely uses for all his other pulls and that would be Neumann skm 140s->Sound Devices 722->Resample-1.8+(24/192->16/44.1khz). This pull sounds very much like those Neumanns (wonderful high end clarity with that heavy well defined bass) but hey, what do I know.

Fox Theater
Oakland, CA
Set 1:
Bertha >
Good Lovin'
Estimated Prophet >
Jam >
Friend of The Devil
Feel Like A Stranger
Brown-Eyed Women
My take on the first night. By the way GREAT aud, my only quip is that the vocals are stuck a little behind the music. I would guess that is because the taper section would have been located under the Mezzanine at the Fox and the sound is significantly altered when you are under that balcony (wonder if anyone was FOB):
SET 1
-Other One: Awesome, here we are, the new band, look what we can do.....not too shabby eh!!
-Wheel: Great band interplay, the drummers are money. I really enjoyed this.
-Jack Straw: The speed is a little warpy at first but they settle it down and it does come together.
-Music Never Stopped: The speed seems to be a little undetermined at first, just like Jack Straw, but again they settle it down to a nice cushion upon which we bounce.
-Birdsong: I thought was lovely, John K. was perfect with a delicate touch that has been missing from many of the recent Dead incarnations (I always took issue with Warren's tone when they played Birdsong). The vocals are very nice, tender.
-I was cooking in the other room during Crosseyed>Let It Grow but I thought they were alright.
SET 2
-Lost Sailor...LOVED IT and i am not a sailor fan by any means but this was really dreamy and ethereal.
-Saint. I am not a huge fan and was back in the kitchen for this so no comment.
-Althea: I liked but sometimes the drummers were a little overbearing for such a delicate piece. They peaked the jam too early and thus were stuck at that intensity for too long.
-Scar/Fire solid but I wish John had really taken over here during the transition jam. I think he was a little timid considering the company he's in, ceding far too much to Chimenti. However, during fire some really nice interplay developed between John and Chimenti, particularly during one of the breaks but I can't remember after which verse it was.
-Stephen>Eleven was nice
-The SEGUE from Eleven to Terrapin was buttah. Very nice.
-Terrapin: Was great, I only wish Bob had let John sing the entire song. John's voice was perfect. the jam into -
-NFA...yeah, bring it, we want to shake our bones. Nice bendy leads and a very interesting peak led by John but unfortunately the band didn't follow him, the drummers seemed lost. Weird.
-Touch....always makes me think of jer and also my father...so it's always good....always. I love John's vocals, they're so close to a young Jerry......sometimes its just downright spooky.
Well, for a first show that was pretty bloody strong. I predict they will have melted serious face tonight (Sat.) and obviously the Dark Star/Viola/Cryptical madness will be reserved for Sunday...always the family show. (as well as the perfunctory Sunday Samson Sermon and a GSET)
Second night. Nothing is officially confirmed. Holy Crap....that's a set list to groove to.

QuoteThe second set of this show was Funky and Sweet ! I still cannot believe how damn amazing these guys are. Bobby was right-ON last night but stumbled quite a bit in the first set tonight. The energy level was amazing at The Fox once again, especially during the 2nd set.
I'm sure some may be "hyper critical" of this show. But after seeing hundreds of shows over the years, I have rarely experienced shows like these past two nights.
If these guys toured, I would do whatever I could to see them as many times as possible.

I don't hang out at fan boy sites like Phil Zone and Mr Minor's Phish Thoughts. And I don't for a reason, hence why I was not aware about these incidences of gushing, which I have stated a couple times are not prominent at LL (well, I have been to Mr Minors a couple times, made a critical comment about Phish but it fell on deaf ears).
Regardless, what I am really interested in, is how YOU feel about these shows? Ser.
As far as I am concerned, I would love to be at these three shows. I would take them over most Phish shows played this summer. But I'm a Deadhead.
I like night one. The first set can be a little indulging at times (the intro jam with just Phil and Bob), and I also wasn't really keen on keeping fake Jerry off the mic, he should of sang more of the songs in the first set. Set two was much better and flowed really well. Fake Jerry seemed to be comfortable with himself, and he had a few soaring leads (Althea and FOTM). I really liked the segues in this show, it was cool to not have the usual dissolving to start a new song, but to have an actual segue. I think if they continue to improve they could really be on to something. I would catch a few shows if they toured my way.

I listened to the first set of first night and it was cool. The Other One felt a little lazy but good. John K could stand to be more aggressive on that. Overall, cool. Hasn't blown my mind as yet.

So again, no, I don't hang at fan boy sites :frustrated: :lol:. Here, in support of my defense, the thread it was lifted on at LL. I did re-edit my post to reflect that there was no acoustic set played.

Jarring though when Bobby comes in on the vox for the "Inspiration" part of Terrapin.

This recording is not as strong as the night before and there are strange anomalies.
Yeah, Bobby should be kicked in the nuts for that move. As for the second night, I am going to listen to it again before I decide how I feel. However, this is what I scribbled down last night when I was listening to it a low volume and concentrating on other things.
Bertha> Good Lovin' - take a dip into the old school. I really liked this. Great way to kick off a show with some nice loving vibes and grooves.
Estimated----need to re-listen but I remember thinking the drummers are off, having trouble with that time sig and Bobby's weird poly rhythms
Friend of the Devil -I really liked the bouncy sped up "friend", this is how it should be played. Some of the slow dirges used to make me cringe.
Stranger- At times a little noodly, I think this is where John K. really needs to step forward and say okay I am in charge....I am sure this will happen as he grows into his role. That being said, Bobby is an absolute genius on rhythm guitar and some of his chord madness is on display here. And he has so many ridiculous effects sometimes I think it is Chimenti but then realize he is on the organ.
Brown Eyed Women - I love mid to late 70's versions of this song but once Jerry's voice was shot this song's luster was lost for me. I do not like versions from the 80's and after. That being said, John's vocals were perfect, it brought me back to that sweet tender voice Jerry used to tell this tale. This is one instance where I could of done without Bob needing to sing some lyrics, but hey, that is his prerogative. I REALLY LOVED how Phil would sing the "and it looks like the old man is getting on" line by himself. I actually got goosebumps and had to re-listen to the song again. In my opinion, I think this might be Phil's last touring band. He's going to be 70 next year, has lived 40 years on the road, many of those unhealthy years, an ex-alcoholic, a liver transplant. I think, as music lovers, it would be foolish not to see him this go around. One other note on Phil, I am positive that Phil is playing better now than he ever did with the Grateful Dead in the 90's. This is not a new observation for me. I felt that way the first time I saw PLQ with Jimmy and Warren. And I "bass" this on having seen 150 GD shows in the 90's.
Bucket -I understand why some hate this song much like many hate Victim. I happen to be in the I love them both camp.....but I started off hating them. Then one night, while on some L, both Bucket and Victim tore my face off. I love the descending chords during Bucket's chorus, a great example of Bobby's crafty song writing genius.
2nd set
The pre-shakedown while loose at first tightens really nicely into a funky great little groove before the drop into Shakedown. Jay Lane is all over this shakedown with percussion toys. John lays hard on the waaaaaahhh. Russo is driving this all with a HUGE kick drum, big and deep. Yeah, I really liked thIS. BIG SHAKEDOWN.
speeway----I was busy not paying attention
China cat--- I love China Cat....in my books there are no bad China Cats (how's that for my inner fan boy)
RIDER----OH THAT WAS A KICK IN THE NUTS, hopefully they seed this missing track soon.
Playin' - I really liked this, there was a little part where John seemed to allow Bobby to guide the jam but then towards the end of the jam he grabs it and peaks it really nicely and not in a Jerry way but in his way (I like that).
Eyes- I was busy
Unbroken- I was busy
Help>Slip>Frank - The drummers have a little trouble but like China>Rider...ain't no bad Help>Slip>Franks (it's my fan boy again)
OMSN- Perfunctory
just finished night 1
(thanks for the ss sophist, k given earlier)
thought it started kinda meh, but gradually and steadily improved - Let it Grow was hot. Second set was also very good.
If this holds up, I would say it's definitely the best Bobby - Phil effort since 95. Actually even if it doesn't, it's the best one (not saying much). I would say it's on par, quality-wise, with Phil & friends. These seem much truer to the original arrangements, where Phil would try and have the players put something new into it.
John K has a sound similar to Jerry, and some of the runs, were Garcia -esque (but not quite Jerry).
Bobby is doing very little of his over-done, over-dramatic, bizarre vocal phrasing he has done so much of recently. I can actually listen to him without getting nauseous.
as far as "as good as the real thing", that's going a bit far, imo. That said, there were some klunkers that this is better than, as a whole. GD, imo, got in a rut some time in the mid 80's and more often than not didn't open things up enough for my tastes. This band (like the other post-GD projects) really does try to take leaps, and I give them credit for that.
final thoughts - they are worth seeing, it the time, location, and price are right ($100 that they charged this year was ridiculous). I'll listen to some of these out of curiousity but, when I want to listen to GD tunes, I'll listen to GD - most often from 68-74, followed by 75 - 80.
and - it's easy when you are there to get caught up in the emotion and energy of the crowd / show (I've been guilty of that - see my posts right after the PSU show), so I take many of those "best concert ever" comments with a grain of salt.
I listened to night 2. I thought it was meh.

This is the conclusion I have reached as well after a second listening.

I am really trying hard not to listen to this while comparing it to the GD for my tastes run along the lines you just laid out. As such, I will download them, but they will not stay in rotation, I will listen to Jerry instead. However, as a live act, I am there, 100%, but this is also reflective of the simple fact that there are not that many live acts that I really do wish to see at this moment. And there aren't too many bucket list acts left for me either (those bands you want to see once, just so you can say you have seen them). That being said, I would pay a hundred dollars to see them, but a night out on the town here is at least going to cost me that, bare minimum.
I will iterate that I am not one of those who felt it was the "best ever" nor am I caught up in that flow of thought, as I am far too aware of that post-show afterglow. But nor am I willing to discard it either. After listening, I can see how one might think it ripped, absolutely had I been there I would of been on board. And I still think there are some great moments. Personally, I enjoyed listening to it and am anxious to see where it goes. In my boat, time will tell.
agreed
to clarify - I don't think there's anything wrong with someone going to a show and getting caught up in it etc. that's what it's all about - being in the moment.
I suppose one of the down sides of taping is the ability to hear something objectively after you've been there. There's a small chance it might "ruin it" for you. If it truly was a great show, then of course you will want to re-live it.
Sls, I liked your entire post but I'm gonna save screen real estate and not quote it. The thing I most heartily agree with is the notion that this band may be worth seeing but not at the LiveNation raperip-off prices from "The Dead" tour.
thank you

Anyone see a price listed for those mail order tickets before the offer closed? Just curious.

Noticed on another board that SBDs of the first two nights are now on LL.
Also, it looks like Fake Jerry got the contract with Phil for at least the next year. He is leaving DSO fully after NYE. Jeff Mattson of the Zen Tricksters (who is really good) will be filling in for him in DSO on some of the Fall shows and the full-time replacement is TBD.

So now we have a fake Jerry and a fake, fake Jerry. :lol:
Mattson has been at it for a long time... Zen Tricksters were a hot as hell Grateful Dead cover band in the way back. (that's where Rob Barracco comes from.)
Mattson even did a run with Phil & Friends in 98 or 99.

I know. I was just making a joke, and I guess the verdict is in: suckage.
so does this mean that Fake Jer is playing w/ Phil as P & F or them continuing this Furthur stuff? The whole Furthur thing generates exactly zero interest for me..so was the Dead Spring '09 Tour just a way to rake in some cabbage?? I couldn't care less
Fake Jerry is on board with Furthur which is just another name for Phil & Friends with Bobby.
does that imply that Bobby is not a friend?
That implies that, were Bobby not in the band, it's would just be called Phil & Friends.

Even still...
These shows are not worth the angering of my bride by spending the money so close to xmas.
2 nites @ radio city might work for me...
I dunno
not motivated
yup..what he said...I'm just not that jazzed about this..I debated hard whether to catch the worcester shows earlier this year and eventually decided to skip them..like RJ I def will not spending the fundage so close to x-mas when I really couldn't care less..will wait much closer to the show date whether I'll hit Manchester...I know this is a diff line-up but still - MEH :|
QuoteIt's official. The Odeum Colorado the mid-sized arena formerly known as the Broomfield Event Center will open March 5-6 with Furthur, a band featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.
i am lacking the motivation for these shows also. I haven't even looked into the tour at all. Don't know where they are playing... hot much it is... just not interested. Which is sad because I remember I used to be pumped to see Phil & Friends. If they were playing Pittsburgh I would check it out

*pssst. just a little secret, they jam more than Phish do nowadays. that's if you're interested in that sort of thing. and they don't play TTE. and the guitar player is not relearning how to play his instrument while performing in front of thousands of paying fans :evil:

Right on, cool. I need to check out some of these shows. More going to visit my friend and figure out if I am moving out there next year. Phil and Bobby are just a bonus and about the next best thing to Phish for NYE! Phil and Bobby in the Fillmore!!! Not too shabby I guess.

Don't be regretting. They sound great. It'll a be a blast and you know they are going to throw down on NYE. I'd love to be there. I'm listening to last night's show now, back with review later. Second set is sounding real nice so far...... Considering Phil's age and that Phish will be around for awhile and still need to warm up to jamming, personally I'd take Furthur over Phish for NYE. There will be a lot more Phish shows.....not so many Bob and Phil.
You're right. My friend and I were saying the same thing about not knowing how much time we have left to see these guys. Sure, I would love to be going to all 4 nights in Miami...but to see Phil and Bobby @ The Fillmore with only about 1000+ people is going to be amazing.

I agree 100%. My buddies and I are talking about doing a nice run in February and if they continue to play like this, I am all over seeing them for a week. Atlanta -> Asheville -> Charlotte -> Hampton -> Fairfax.
I just started set two and I feel they are much better than they were in Oakland. I think it will take a little while for Bobby to slowly let John have a more prominent role in singing.
I will defiantly be hitting Fairfax...too close to me not to go!
Really wish they were coming anywhere near me for this tour :|
I'd love to catch these guys again before their time is up :cry:
They seem to add new dates every week...don't lose hope!
They sound really good. It would be cool if fake Jerry sang a little more and damn the crowd at Hammerstein is pretty f'n talkative huh?

Yeah, Hammerstein is a brutal venue. I would imagine this affects the band as well. Why they didn't play the Beacon or Nokia is beyond me. Both those rooms overwhelmingly pwn the Hammer. I can't remember who I saw there, maybe MMW, but I remember leaving the venue hating it.
I read something somewhere that Bobby mentioned they went with the Hammerstein because it was a bigger pay

you really think Weir isn't in it for the money? If he is not in it for the money then why the hell was the cost of Dead tour tickets so high? Furthur tickets are $49-$65 and they are playing venues where I see bands for $20-$35. They already have all of the Furthur merchandise up. All signs point to them being on the monetary express.
ahhh, money
the main reason why phil and bobby can and cant get along?
seriously. I mean, this is their job. Its how they make a living... of course they think about the money
hey, new organs arent cheap, and i hear after you get one through the official channels youve gotta get them from the black market and the markup there is even higher.
I asked a question on the ratdog.org digest one time about why they schedule shows the way they do and the moderator responded that they just go with what's available. "Avails" he called it. On the surface it doesn't make sense sometimes and I can understand how people would be pissed that they are playing a crappier venue than one they would prefer. Maybe that was just an Avail, who knows?

Could very well be as this was all planned a little later than most musicians plan tours. The problem with the Hammerstein is that while it is nice inside, the sound leaves much to be desired.

Actually, could have also been the man sitting at the board and not the room. Although I do think it was mostly the room.

I've since given the 12-08 show a concerted listen and it's not bad....but not good, first show of tour, but the next night is off badly. The jams are uninspired, the drumming is off, Bob's a train wreck and the crowd is brutal.....yikes. I've seen it posted in a few places that Bobby was drunk off his ass. Nice. I'm sure the others will give him flac for it. A far cry from the Oakland shows. As such, I imagine these were just off nights, opening shows of tour. Phil tends to take his music pretty seriously, I doubt this is the norm.
I would not expect that to be a trend for Furthur, Phil will not tolerate such mediocrity.
tonight's show is streaming and the sound is really really good. I wish we could have had sound like this for Phish.

I was at the New Jersey shows and was somewhat disappointed. By far the worst Phil related shows I've ever seen. The second set of the second night gives me hope for next tour. The band is capable of doing great things but, changes need to be made. You've heard it before... Little Jerry should sing Jerry tunes, bobby needs to start looking at his teleprompter at all times, and jay lane is completely unnecessary with Russo behind the kit. Shoot me an email if you want the boards
I enjoyed listening to both Jersey shows. Way better than The Dead!!

Has anybody been mailed their tickets yet?
So I caught the NYE run on the 30 and 31st.
I was a bit let down. Had a blast the 1st night but by the 2nd I was a bit bored. The crowd was incredibly tame and sleepy for New Year Eve. Each night it was common for people to miss the entire 1st set and enter the venue at the beginning of the 2nd. Also, on NYE I saw tons of kids leaving the show after the 1st set. Literally leaving and heading back across the street where shakedown was. I have never in all my tour years seen so many ate up people in one place and it only held 7000. People stumbling before the show, kids yelling at people randomly about crazy shit, sleeping during the show, etc. 1/2 the kids were there for the music the other 1/2 clearly for drugs. It was sad to see the floor half empty and the bathroom level of people standing around talking. Just a very weird vibe to the whole thing.
The music was...just...kind of there. Not bad, nothing amazing. Phil lead the troops, Fake Jerry only sang a few tunes...played a noodle-y 80's Jerry style. Bobby stared at the ground barely audible in the mix. Jay Lane is unnecessary and Russo felt held back. Chimenti is the MVP but only alowed to stretch a few times. Wasn't too big of a fan of some of the new arrangements. It all just came across as nostalgic-y to me.
You know whats sad? I just checked, and the floor/general admission tickets aren't even sold out yet for Hampton. I think that place is going to seem pretty empty
i guess im not the only one who finds 60+ a little hard to cough up for this group. chances are slimmer and slimmer that ill want to hit one of those CO shows.

The price sucks. But I am doing like I did for fall Phish tour. Scalp on the lot cheap. This ticket market will bust too. Get on the scalper sites, and you'll see they have bought up a shitload of tickets in hopes of making bank, but like Phish they'll eat it and we'll get cheap tickets.
Yeah, a buddy just asked me about this, saying he didn't have a ticket yet, I emailed him back, saying not to worry about it. I lost enough money on Phish tickets this past year, hope to get some of that back with some cheap/free tickets here.

same thing over here..with the NH date being 2/18 and now Trey being in Boston on the 12th this def closes the door on Furthur for me...have heard a little of the Furthur shows so far - pretty meh...haven't read a lot of rave reviews either...thanks but no thanks

Esp since he's so good at it! Saw DSO last week with fake jerry from Zen Tricksters and he wasn't nearly as good as fake jerry from DSO who is now fake jerry with Further. Poor fake jerry's, they're like santa claus at christmastime, all over the place. I never met a fake jerry before, but if I did, I think I'd pull his beard.

This is exactly how I feel. But wanted to see for myself. Thankfully I went to SF on vacation NOT just to see Furthur.
This band is no where near worth the $60 ticket price. NYE didn't even sell out until the 2nd set and capacity was 7000. DO NOT BUY TICKETS TO FUTHUR. You will find cheaper tix on lot or even walk up to the box office when you get there. But, again...I can't recommend seeing more than 1 show. There nothing worth seeing multiple nights for.
Unless of course you love a militant Phil guiding a nearly unconscious Bobby through uninspired and overly rehearsed jams, a guy that sounds like Jerry just strumming the guitar while Phil and Bobby "sing" your favorite Jerry tunes, and the appearance of two drummers...however you only can really tell there is one there since one seems to have no clue.
Wow,I just heard of the recent SBD's and I was so disappointed by the lack of everything an I think I will defiently not hit up any Feb shows like I thought I would see at least 1 but now, not thanks.
The Dead 09 with Warren was much better if you had to compare IMHO.....
I listened today to the Matrix recording of 09-19-2009 and I really enjoyed it!

Most likely by show time it will fill up. NYE didn't sell out until 2nd set.

I dunno, they were playing the December Asbury Park show on the GD channel last week, and it was aww-ite....still a glorified cover band, but it sounded decent....as good or better than any of the other post-Jerry incarnations IMO.....still it is a little weird having the TOTAL Jerry style guy on lead git.....at least the PLF lineups were a bit different......but, I think they sounded OK, for that type of thing...
I'll be at the Stabler show. I can walk there in 10 min.... or stumble!

The PLF 2001 lineup IMO was freakin' awesome (Haynes, Herring, Molo, Barraco). Phish had taken the hiatus so I decided to catch the West Coast summer tour that year (3 nights at the Greek Theater in Berkley, 1 night a Cuthbert Amphitheater in Oregon and then somewhere in a field outside Seattle). I also did the six night run at the Beacon with the same band lineup in November or December of that same year.....right after 9/11. The 3 nights at the Greek were fantastic with the middle night's second set being truly out of this world. And the 6 nights at the Beacon that fall were outstanding and dripping with emotion (check out the tribute night to George Harrison as he passed away during the run, or the first night dedicated to NY and those lost in 9/11). No one could ever convince me that that lineup did not push the envelope. I have never been a huge Warren fan but the music they churned out night after night was a true improv clinic and class act. Some of Phil's best bass playing.

Fire on the Mountain
E: Satisfaction
The tabernacle was an old church that sits in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the church was converted into a concert venue with very unique amenities. The most notable is the side rooms which have pool tables and couches. It has a basement level below the theater with a full bar and a side patio for smoking.
The main floor is always general admission while the second and third level balconies have seating. Capacity is just over 2000. There are three lots by the tabernacle to park, which means a central shakedown isn't present. The shakedown last night consisted of flat brim wooks selling grade D merchandise and partaking in massive amounts of nitrous oxide. Classy. The ticket demand was reflective of what was seen on scalper sites. People were asking for between 60-100 dollars on site. Many were shut out.
Chimenti is stage left, while Phil is to his right, and Weir to Phil's right, and John to the far right. Behind John sits the back up singers. To the left of the back up singers is Russo (left) and Lane (right). In terms of lights they have the stereotypical archetype of Phish lights (sans the trampoline looking thing that is the middle). It's an oval shaped rig, with additional lights behind the stage. A huge white tapestry is hung behind the band and the lights are predominately lit on that. Phil has 2 bass guitars, Weir had 3 guitars (the pink guitar from the 80's, a new strat, and a les paul looking guitar), John had 2 guitars he was using. One that closely resembles Jerry's tiger, and a semi hollow body custom made guitar with a light brown finish. Chimenti has a sweet set up with multiple keyboards (if I knew more about keyboards I would elaborate). Finally Jay and Joe have their respective kits set up which look standard, no western looking drums or anything like Hart or Kreutzmann ever used. Now as for the music it was impressive at times, at other times it did leave some to be desired (at least for me). Overall there was a lot of energy and the crowd was there for the band not to party (at least not party too much). The opening tandem of Promised Land > Brown Eyed Women was fantastic and brought a huge smile on my face and got the whole venue rocking. El Paso was at a slower pace and I thought it dragged a bit at times, and there was a stanza where they botched the instrumentation of it (it was Bobby).
Little Light melted faces, and was one of two highlights of the first set in my opinion. A lot of the younger deadheads seemed to dig the sound of this tune and it was really well received. The ratdog tune Gasoline for money, was not as well received. I'll admit I never got into Ratdog, so this was my first time hearing this tune, and I wasn't really a fan.
The second highlight of the set was the Estimated -> Liberty. Atypical jam out Estimated, and it was a sick one. Estimated dragged at first but the jam was really intense. Great version and this is what I have loved about this line up, their ability to take a tune and just take it for a ride. JK really shined here. Tight version of Passenger to close the set.
Set II was just a beast. Killer song selection, and well executed playing. Scarlet opener had the place in a communal groove. The segue into Jack Straw was sick. And it was a great version of Jack Straw too. Eyes was well played but I took issue with it. They abandoned the early 70's style ending of it which is what makes the song for me. The sequence of modulations before the ending arpeggios is crucial to me, and that wasn't played so I was a little bummed and felt shafted. The segue into Women are Smarter was good and the tune was well received.
Cumberland Blues was the highlight of set II for me. It contains a raging solo from JK that dissolved into this segue for Cassidy. Cassidy was also a set highlight. Cassidy has a dirty jam in it that was just sick. The segue into MOTM was cool and MOTM wasn't well received. From the balcony it looked like the a lot of the crowd didn't know that tune or Death Don't Have No Mercy, which had some very soulful vocals from JK. Fire to close the set brought the crowd back, and it was a good version. Great second set, and I enjoyed the encore albeit I wanted a Dead tune (I've never been a big stones fan).
Overall I will these guys are tight and put on a good show. I entered the show hoping to have my face melted and that never happened, I left content and excited about what tonight will bring (but also anxious that tonight could possibly be a bust). If you make the mistake of being like me and constantly doing introverted analysis of "what would the grateful dead do here?" then you'll leave disappointed, the best advice I can give is to approach this realizing what it is and that is a new line up attempting to breath life into the music we all love.

Just saw Furthur for the first time last night in Charlotte. Show was decent. I had a good time I enjoyed them a lot more than the dead, and felt that their jams actually went places with fake jerry. The first set was good, but the second set got kinda sleepy towards the end. Encore was perfect though gotta love Phil :clap:

QuoteCornell students just received an email from the University Police, warning them about an imminent, and dangerous, threat to their safety: Deadheads. Hey, we'd be nervous too.
Looks like there's a concert on campus this weekend by the jam-band Furthur, which was started by former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. So you know what that means. The Deadheads—with their pot-smoking, dredlock-sporting, VW van-driving ways—are coming, and they've got nowhere to stay. So the police are concerned that "this particular group of fans will set up camp wherever they can and will certainly avail themselves to the warmth of any open building." Which, you know, might happen! Because they are dirty hippies.

It's all a sham:
Quote from: rowjimmy on May 10, 2007, 09:07:42 AM
QuoteThere's been a lot of talk lately about the legendary fake show on 5/8/77.
I've kept my silence on the subject for 30 years ... now it's finally time
to come clean on the whole subject.
The whole idea began back in late 1969/early 1970. The Department of Defense
and the CIA were very disappointed by the way the Vietnam War was
progressing. Not only were we losing but, more importantly, the US public
did not approve of the war and, worse yet, weren't believing everything the
military said about what was happening. This was an unprecedented event.
Every other recent war was viewed positively by the public ... or at least
with apathy in the case of Korea. Something had to be done. They decided to
take a page from the Soviets and experiment with mind control.
Together with Disney and a fledgling computer company called Microsoft, they
set out to prove that brainwashing could really work on the very people who
opposed them: the hippies.
It isn't widely known but Cornell was actually the second test of these mind
control procedures. The first occurred in mid-1975 and was a dismal failure.
2 major mistakes were made. First, they picked the one time that the Dead
were not touring. This created all sorts of problems with the subject
audience. The more serious mistake was in not updating the criteria of the
experiment. Due to typical government inefficiency, they used the 1969
version of the Dead that was playing when the program was conceived. The
sudden appearance of Pigpen, who had died 2 years earlier, litterally blew
the minds of those in attendance. 6 months were spent erasing all traces of
the "show" and carefully rebuilding as much of their minds as possible.
The subjects were eventually released and most of them became evangelists,
their only lingering memory of the whole experiment being an unshakeable
belief that they'd witnessed a true miracle.
Unfortunatly, no tapes have been found from this first experiment. That's a
real shame because the version of Dark Star->St Stephen->Eleven->Lovelight
used was supposedly the best ever. After a few drinks, the original
scientists still speak in awe about the music heard that day.
By Nov 1977, everyone was ready for the second test. This time, they learned
from their mistakes. A small group of college students (including yours
truly) were hired to attend shows from 1976 through 1977. Our job was
to collect tapes of the Dead's performances, select which tunes to use, and
to help identify subjects for the upcoming experiment. The location and
date were chosen with equal care. It was a off-day during the tour and the
location close enough to the real concerts to be believed. Of more
importance was the late snowfall that day. That unusual and easily confirmed
event provided the glue that would hold the implanted memories together.
Even now 22 years later, people "remembering" that concert use almost
identical words to describe leaving the show.
Overall, the experiment was a great success. Of course, some people were
given slightly different memories. Some, like Teddy Goodbear, "remember"
taping the show and were even provided "Audience" tapes to further cement
the hoax. Still others remember getting "horribly smashed" up front. None of
this actually occurred.
A week after the "concert" experiment, a 2nd test was done on the town of
Cornell itself. In order to perfect this hoax, the town itself must also be
convinced that the concert took place. Disney had acquired owner- ship
of all the local TV and radio stations through dummy corporations. Using
special chips developed by Microsoft, they played subliminal messages to
every man, woman and child in a 100 mile radius of Barton Hall. For the most
part, this programming still holds today although some
people did prove resistant to the message.
As far as the source of the music, for the most part the list posted by
"brew ziggins" is correct. The only mystery remaining is the Scarlet-> Fire.
That was actually performed by the Dead specifically for this experiment.
Since Jerry worked for the CIA, it was easy to convince him and the rest of
the band to go along. Plus he liked the idea of "pranking" a large group of
people like this. The fabled 2/6/77 "take a step back" rehearsal tape is
also from material taped for these experiments.
The soundboard tapes in circulation were leaked by Betty O'Connell who
edited the original tapes. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or not,
but they were leaked at about the same time as the tapes recorded by Betty
Cantor were found. In any event, they became part of the so-called "Betty
Boards". Leaking these tapes also provided the first cracks in the hoax to
appear since the tapes were distributed to people who were not in the
experiment and who knew that no show was performed that day. It was
necessary to obtain their silence through blackmail, bribery and in extreme
cases, mind control itself. That's also how this "show" came to be listed in
all the popular Dead show guides like DeadBase.
So what's happened to these mind control techniques used in this experiment?
I got out of the program in 1978 but it's obvious that they are still being
used today. Microsoft has used this power to become one of the biggest, most
influential companies in history. They sure didn't become that big by
providing quality products. It was used to shape public reaction to the Gulf
War. It's also clear that George Bush never understood the full power of
these methods. After the Gulf War, the technology was leaked to a young
governor who used them to be successfully elected to 2 terms as president and
remain in power despite facing numerous charges that should have seen him
removed from office or even thrown in prison. There are also indications
that this technology might explain the otherwise unbelievable popularity
of rap music.
That's the whole story. I'll probably end up in jail (or worse) for
revealing this but it feels good to finally get the whole thing off my
chest.

Looks like there's a concert on campus this weekend by the jam-band Furthur, which was started by former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. So you know what that means. The Deadheads—with their pot-smoking, dredlock-sporting, VW van-driving ways—are coming, and they've got nowhere to stay. So the police are concerned that "this particular group of fans will set up camp wherever they can and will certainly avail themselves to the warmth of any open building." Which, you know, might happen! Because they are dirty hippies.
Sounds like someone has been watching too much South Park.
Hey man, Barton Hall shows always have crunchy grooves. It sounds like this guy works for the corporations or something

did not approve of the war and, worse yet, weren't believing everything the

with apathy in the case of Korea. Something had to be done. They decided to
take a page from the Soviets and experiment with mind control.

Neat! This "email from a legitimate source" will help serve as proof that tonight's show "occurred." With Fake Jerry in the fold, its even easier to fake the tapes for distribution. I will be interested to see how tonight's episode in the ongoing Barton Hall experiment goes. I will be attending DSO in Indy, so its almost like I'm mixed up in this mind-control thing...

That's the beauty of having a cat for a pet, they're low maintenance. I'd leave him for a few hrs and noone will be the wiser.

the brand new kitten kind. I might could have pulled it off but they just got her like two weeks ago
Yeah, that makes it a little tougher. Well, stick her in your pocket and go down there looking for an extra. People may take pity on you if you have a kitten in your pocket.

I will anxiously await your review. :wink:
I went to Charlotte. I thought the music was decent, but the crowd, lights and backdrop all sucked. Also, fake jerry kinda sucks.
It pales in comparison to the first incarnation of The Other Ones...and is absolutely nothing like going to see The Grateful Dead. The crowd was young and I'd say 90 percent of the attendants had never seen a "real" dead show.
I was underwhelmed. However the Maggie's Farm, Come Together-->Caution and Cold Rain and Snow were amazing!

I would of been pretty darn disappointed exiting that Charlotte show just by the set list. Would not of mattered how well they had played.
Side note: if the music was decent, I'd be happy. I generally don't worry about lights, backdrop or crowd.

Encore: And We Bid You Good Night
What a week. As you may remember I hit up Atlanta earlier in the week, but due to work I had to miss Asheville. Honestly, after seeing the Asheville setlist and listening to it, I wasn't too bummed about missing it, and even questioned driving to Hampton. After seeing the Charlotte setlist, I decided what the hell, they just played 2 mediocre to decent shows back to back, so something big is about to happen at Hampton.
I leave out of Atlanta on Thursday afternoon and get into Raleigh about 11:30, my buddy and I have a quite night of watching tv, and just catching up. We leave out of Raleigh around noon and get to the Days Inn around 3:30. We stock up on beer and have a few drinks and hit shakedown. Shakedown is pumping at 5pm. Lots of doses, mollie, and chocolates. This one dude offers up mescaline, and I quickly spin back around to begin business with this wook. He has doses on tums, read that again: SKETCH. I say, no go on that. What about the mescaline? He tells me 15 per hit. I say I'm game. Pay him 20, and he gives me 3 bucks back, and doesn't have two dollars in change. Whatever. As I am walking away I look down and see what looks like one hit of acid. I know for a fact that mescaline comes in powder form or liquid form (the liquid form requires at least half a cup full to dose).
I tell my buddies I have to go straighten this out. I approach the wook again, I call him out and say this isn't mescaline. He says it is, and tells me they drop a hit on the sheet. I say a dose of mescaline won't fit on a hit of blotter, it's scientifically impossible. He goes, "it's 5-meo-AMT mescaline..."
I cut him off, and say those are two different drugs completely. "5-meo-AMT is a synthetic chemical with very potent psychedelic affects, while mescaline is a naturally occurring substance that is found in multiple substances. Mescaline is soluble in water, but it takes a 1/2-full cup for a dose, thus it would only fit on a full sheet. However, 5-meo-AMT is active at 3-7 milligrams. Thus such a small amount could and would fit on a piece of paper. So what you have sold me is 5-meo-AMT, which is cool. I'm just making sure what I have here."
The wook asks me "what I should I call it?" I respond "it's 5-meo-AMT and sell it as that." He actually thanks me and gives me the bro five (the hand cup and the semi-hug). I walk away, intrigued by what I now had in my possession. I knew tonight wasn't the night for this substance, I wanted L (already had it so I was just stocking up).
We get back to our room after shopping on the lot (my buddy got a 5th of mollie). We pound some brews and do some puffing. I get a call from Hood and we decide to meet up after my crew circles shakedown one more time. My buddy goes to get our stash for the show (4 hits of L, a variety of heads, and some DMT) only to discover he left it in Raleigh. We decide that we can get L on the lot, and split the mollie.
We circle around shakedown and low and behold I see the same wook. I ask if he has any doses besides the tums, he says he has paper now, and will do 10 a hit. I grab two hits from him, and he tells me "it's the fluff, the white on white. The 5-meo-AMT is better, you should eat that." I always hear this about fluff , and usually it's quality acid, but this ladies and gentleman was redemption. This wook delivered. Some of the best acid I have ever had.
I meet up with Hood by the fountain, we chat for a bit and decide to meet up at set break. My crew enters the show, and it's perfect timing. Shakedown starts as we are walking to our seats. Shakedown was tight and the jam out of it was solid. I really liked the segue out Shakedown into I need a Miracle. Dire Wolf and Picasso Moon were set highlights for me.
Hood found me at set break, and his crew set up shop in our area (we had a ton of room, the venue was just over 70% capacity. We chatted some (or at least I tried, I was tripping pretty hard by set break).
The second set for me was simply amazing. One of my favorite live experiences of all time. I couldn't of asked for a better second set from them. I haven't looked at Fairfax yet, but for me, Hampton was the best show of the tour so far. The Dark Star was money, and the KSM was really hot. The Scarlet opener was money too, and that segue into west la was just dirty.
The funniest part of the night came during Days Between when this red neck in jean overalls just yells "Fuck you Bobby" and leaves. He tells my buddy "we're going home to burn shit and drink liquor." Classic.
The closing part of the set was really good to Viola -> GDTRFB was really sick, and the WBYGN was a perfect way to send us off.
Overall I really enjoyed this show, and thought they played really well. There was great energy from the crowd, and the crowd was really well behaved.
After the show we hit shakedown again, and I can remember running into this jack ass that had a laser pointer and yelling "hey Kuroda, do that trippy shit." He acknowledged me the first time but then started ignoring me after that.
Great fucking road trip, and a wonderful show. I'd recommend on hearing this one.

I normally feel the same way, however the all three factors were especially sucky. The setlist was pretty shitty too, in my estimation, and the thing that sucked the worst was that I knew that Hampton was coming and they were going to bust out Dark Star at Hampton.
Oh well...

Nice review man!
Undermind finds Visa and starts looking for Manchester tickets!
Hmm. Interesting to read over the impressions and Sophists reviews. I will give you the Marbles they played in SF was a highlight of the 2 nights when I saw them. It's just weird how it seems like 2 completely different bands to some of us.

Or it's the same band that plays better on some nights than others (like the majority of bands who improvise), as well as being in the process of gelling, which need I remind you takes time. That being said, the shows at the end of this tour will most likely pwn the shows of the beginning leg. And those played now are most probably an improvement over those played last fall.
But then again, it could just be personal impressions, although some of us here are well versed in music and the study of it, so one would assume we can be on agreement over whether something was played well or not. For example, I pretty much consider 3.0 Phish to suck complete donkey's balls. But hey, others are tripping on it and you know what, I keep trying.
i can't believe they sell 5-meo-amt as a party drug. i can't imagine that shit would be any fun at a show. i had gobs of it one semester, cut with some kind of grain alcohol. consisted of an awful body buzz with absolutely no desire to stand up or move. lots of giggling and bizarre conversations though.
LOL! Good attitude to have. I do hate to say it but for me it was all nostalgia with these guys. They didn't play bad when I saw them, but to me they are bringing nothing new to this music. It just feels there to me. I feel the 1st run of the Other Ones was the best post-Dead band. However...if this sticks around for a couple tours (knock on wood) I could be eating my words. I do hear potential. Bobby is a weak link, Fake Jerry is well...Fake Jerry and Chimenti should be leading rather than Phil IMO.
Is 5-meo-amt foxy? If so, I took a Foxy/Acid combo at a Sonic Youth show years ago and had the time of my life.

That's exactly how I feel about 3.0 Phish.....although I am slowly curing myself of this affliction by force feeding myself a steady diet of last year's fall tour.

Also, I think Fake Jerry does a good job playing his role, and his voice sounds eerily similar. I wish he sang more. Speaking of singing, And We Bid You Goodnight was beautiful. I really liked hearing that.

If those songs I marked with an asterisk were not sung by fake Jerry, I would throw up. I never want to hear Phil or Bobby mangle tunes like those. Just my opinion.

So my buddy hit up the Delaware show last night and he ran into the same wook in my review, and I'm a lot legend now. My buddy introduced himself as the "guy that watched you get pwned off lot by my friend" and the wook called his fellow wooks over and they had a chuckle over me. They hooked my buddy up with some quality shit too.
The 5-meo-amt I got is getting rave reviews and is all over furthur lot. My buddy told me that people are requesting it left and right.
So if you see it, I say grab it. I think I am gonna take it this weekend. I will reprt back.
^^^ And the legend grows! :clap:
Who was that masked man that knew his psychedelics inside out? Pwns wooks left and right! No one knows, he simply goes by the name of phan. Wooks scatter across the lots, whispering stories of his great knowledge.....
fucking Delaware. hot show on Monday. digging the progression with Estimated, way better peak than ATL.
should have a chance to talk to my friend today and get her thoughts on the radio city shows.

One every other month or so isn't enough?
Well at one point fairly recently, there was a download every month - I would like them to bring that back.
I guess the 77 Winterland boxset was the last release, and that was what - November? Doesn't feel like one per month.

Yeah I guess there was a bit of a lag there, but I bet that 89 show will come fairly quickly on the heels of the most recent Road Trips release.
Plus there's been a good amount of JGB coming out lately too. . .

well looks like ill get to check these guys out after all, didnt have the cash for the Buffalo show last week, but hot dam 2 shows really close. Rochester and Buffalo.
If anyone lives somewhat close to Rochester the Highland Bowl can be heard from the street, and you can even see the venue from the sidewalks, so even if you dont have the cash, grab a lawn chair and your cooler and sit back and you can still enjoy. Thats what I did for Ratdog last summer.
I saw Phil @ The Highland Bowl, sweet venue.
anybody know where the best place to get song/setlist updates from these shows would be?
i got some friends at the show n im curious to see whats goin down.

HOLY CRAP. Did you guys hear about this thread over on Philzone (someone at LL brought this to my attention) where they were bashing Phil because he mentioned that his wife, Jill, and Bobby's manager pick the setlists for Furthur. So it got out of control, was deleted, and then another started up, which quickly turned derogatory and nasty.......and then all of a sudden Jill shows up in the thread....and then Phil shows up. Naturally people call the bluff/shananigans and so Phil uploads this pic and proceeds to kick down some backstage passes to those who had their backs:
Here is the thread but you have to read down a ways before it gets REALLY FUCKING CRAZY: http://www.philzone.org/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=439459&post=12257828 (http://www.philzone.org/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=439459&post=12257828)

TLDR
I just wanted to come on here to advise anyone on the fence about seeing these guys to go for it. My buddy dragged me out to the AC show and I'm still smiling about it days later. I'm not one to be into the post Grateful Dead bands but I have to hand it to these guys. They actually nailed the songs rather than the usual old guy slop/jam fest that I've witnessed... For the most part. There was Bobby singing Sugaree though, but so much greatness happened prior to it that it didn't even kill the moment like I would expect.
that was awsome.

I never saw Jerry, but I obsess over how he plays. When I hear people cover the dead it irks me to no end to hear a non-Jerry line over GD songs. It's why I never got on board any of the post GD projects and was always hitting up DSO shows. JK plays it close enough to satisfy that sound I want, but it is still very original too. It's hard to not have a smile while they are up there dude. The hurdle is just accepting it's something different with enough respect to adhere to how the songs are suppose to be played.
Sophist, what part of his playing do you obsess over exactly? Just wondering, while I am quite a big Dead fan and fond of Jerry, I personally have never found much to his playing. Granted pre-coma is a entirely different discussion than post...to me he just noodled around the myxolydian scale and focused on a lot of bends and pentatonic runs. Just wondering...not trying to discredit your appreciation.

IMO, Jerry
was the Grateful Dead. That's not to say that Phil isn't a great bassist or that Bill wasn't a great drummer, or that the various keyboardists didn't bring unique things to the table, but for me at least that was all just icing on the top of the cake that was the amount of soul and emotion that Jerry brought both through his singing and playing.
I would easily put Jerry in the top ten guitarists of all time myself, and I don't think that's a minority opinion around here.
If you don't particularly care for Jerry Garcia's playing, then you don't really like the Grateful Dead.
If you are being honest with yourself or others, you can't have it both ways.

Your post is a little confusing.
-generally when we discuss Dead shows in this thread we are speaking of pre-coma shows. Very rarely have we discussed post-coma or the dreaded 90's, altough there were still some good shows and runs during that period.
-a great guitar player, for most listeners, is not weighted solely on technical proficiency. If this were the case, legions might be lining up to see Vai, Malmsteen, or many of the new speed metal guys. Same can be said for the speedy jazz greats Mclaughlin, Metheny etc.... A great guitar player may be considered so because of tone, choice of the appropriate notes and speed at any given point in time in a song, innovation, the space between the notes, lyrical sensibility of playing etc.....
and considering what RJ just posted and I have quoted below, why did you even go see furthur on New Years????? You knew what you were getting. I'm confused.

Putting Jerry in the top 10 is laughable, sorry it is. I am certain this is an unpopular opinion but I will not agree for the sake of agreeing. Jerry himself would laugh at this notion. Seriously he would.
To me, as a student of jazz and a fan of all types of music, he is nothing special in regards to his technique. He sounds like a guitarist that started in bluegrass and studied jazz but was always deeply rooted in blues/rock. Listen to just about ANY Dead jam...he spends a considerable amount of time using myxolydian scales and "noodling" around the root. Not to mention, his phrasing was seriously lacking.
Sorry, I see no problem loving a band while criticizing the members playing...hm....isn't that what we do here all day??? :-P
I will give Jerry credit for his tone without question and his cultural role, but seriously he was not that great of a guitarist.

For sure. Jerry was the :syf: . They all had their parts but could have been replaced without the sound changing too drastically IMO (possible exception in Phil). His voice and tone were so unique to the Dead's sound. He played lead like no other guitarist that I have heard, unless they were imitating him. That's not to say he was the greatest guitarist but he sure knew how to inject soul into his licks.

This is just plain crap. Seriously, do I need to fluff Jerry to be considered a Dead fan? I learned to play guitar by playing along to Dead shows....I advanced....it's that simple. Once you study a guitarist, study their tricks and tendencies and listen to literally 1000's of hours of their playing...a lot of the mystique is lost.

This. Put on anything with Jerry playing and you know it is him. When you are instantly recognizable on an instrument, then you have altered its landscape and that in my book makes you one of the greats because, on the electric guitar, so few have succeeded at doing this.

He sounds like a guitarist that started in bluegrass and studied jazz but was always deeply rooted in blues/rock. Listen to just about ANY Dead jam...he spends a considerable amount of time using myxolydian scales and "noodling" around the root. Not to mention, his phrasing was seriously lacking.
Sorry, I see no problem loving a band while criticizing the members playing...hm....isn't that what we do here all day??? :-P
I will give Jerry credit for his tone without question and his cultural role, but seriously he was not that great of a guitarist.
I used to share a similar opinion of Jerry's playing. I really did. I loved Phil and Billy for the rhythm section, but I found Jerry's playing to be boring, especially when I was listening to a ton of Trey.
Then I started really listening to the Grateful Dead. I dove head-first into 1973 and discovered just how amazing Jerry's playing really was. He was so tasteful in his choices. And that's what it comes down to. He had impeccable taste. To him, that was what mattered, too. When he spoke of his favorite players (Miles, Trane, etc) he always spoke of their taste.
So, my suggestion, if you really think you like the Dead but still insist Jerry is not that great, is to dive into some deep early 70's Dead. Close your eyes and look around. I think you'll like what you see.

I found this line to be the most striking. I've always thought Jerry's phrasing was part of what set him apart from other guitar greats

If you don't particularly care for Jerry Garcia's playing, then you don't really like the Grateful Dead.
If you are being honest with yourself or others, you can't have it both ways.
This is just plain crap. Seriously, do I need to fluff Jerry to be considered a Dead fan? I learned to play guitar by playing along to Dead shows....I advanced....it's that simple. Once you study a guitarist, study their tricks and tendencies and listen to literally 1000's of hours of their playing...a lot of the mystique is lost.
Hell no, it's not crap.
If all you hear is technique, then you fail at listening.
Superfreakie...to answer. I was visiting a friend in San Francisco, he had tickets to the 30th and 31st. I wanted to see what they were all about. I had a BLAST the 30th. 31st...I got tired of it. Just because you get bored visiting family does not mean you don't love them.
Not to mention life events were weighing on me hard that night, felt it was best to leave if I wasn't into it rather than let others see I was not having a good time. It was NYE and didn't want to bring anyone down.
wow that philzone forum is impossible to read

Everything I have been debating has been strictly focused on technique and his use of theory...not once have I mentioned cultural/spiritual or any other aspect of his playing, perhaps you fail at debate. I will not debate against his place in music history...I am just debating he was not that
great of a guitarist in regards to technique.
WTU, really? To me the definition of perfect phrasing is Miles Davis. Take any version of Miles' bands playing Milestones and compare to any Dead version.
Also even at Jerry's best...(early to mid 70's?) he was spotty and inconsistent. Never could you consider Garcia consistent...a quality I look for in a great guitarist.
I love the Beatles, but their songwriting was just OK.
Anybody could write that simple stuff.
I love pie, I'm just not that into the crust or the filling.
Why are you comparing Garcia to Miles Davis?
Did you see The Grateful Dead?
Jerry had a stage presence that was larger than life.
He could step up to the mic and send shivers down your spine.
With one "noodle through the myxolydian scales" he could get an entire arena dancing.
I can see where you're coming from, but you're being critical of Jerry for all the wrong reasons - the reason he's inconsistent is because every note he ever played is out there for people to hear, and he played a lot of notes. He wasn't striving for perfection, it was in the feel and sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn't.
Also, The Grateful Dead never played Milestones.

I, for one, have said NOTHING, about cultural significance.
Jerry would laugh you out of the room if you tried to discuss his "cultural impact" with him.
I'm talking about powerful music.

Fair enough, you are indeed correct Go with "So What" in it's stead.
Hampton 88 there was a So What tuning jam, but the GD weren't a jazz band and never tried to be.
I think you need to study up.
You have accused some of us of being bad at debating yet your first statement was not based on technique but on his playing.
Playing is not technique. Playing is an all-encompassing word. Yes, you did somewhat elaborate after about scales but it was not clear if this was in reference to the post-coma period. Here is your opening argument:
Quote from: thatfargone on March 04, 2010, 12:16:55 PM
Just wondering, while I am quite a big Dead fan and fond of Jerry, I personally have never found much to his playing.
ROTFLMAO
seriously. If you think Garcia is noodling you know nothing about music theory. Fucking nothing.
Go listen to an Other One from 73. Any fucking one. Jerry will play in 7/4 while the rest of the band is in 12/8.
Jerry's "noodling" is actually a long cadence where there is tension, then resolution. And for your information, he didn't focus on the root, it was the leading tone. that's the last note in the scale. It's why he hits "G" when the rest of the band plays A major in Dark Star.
Slipknot alone debunks the whole he uses one scale argument. Seriously, this is laughable. Slipknot has more modulations and jazz changes than Stash. Trey even admits Stash was inspired by Slipknot (Guitar world 2004 interview).
finally, did you just compare a trumpet player to a guitarist.
This is like comparing the work of town councilman to a state governor. You might like jazz and enjoy it, but based on what you have posted here, you don't know a thing about it. The minor second turn around is in plenty of dead jams, Keith was all about it, and Jerry would play off it. Go listen to any 74 eyes or playing, it's in there dude.
I can see that Superfreakie which is why when Hicks started the "debate" I offered immediate clarification and each post since then was an elaboration of what I meant.
Anyhow, I just wondered what sophist thought about Jerry's playing so perhaps we could have an educated discussion about his technique, perhaps gaining a different perspective, didn't want to piss everyone off by putting down Jerry.
EDIT: and by reading his rely, I am done with this thread for sure.

I'm all for educated discussion, but when you come out guns swinging and stating shit that is so far from reality, well I'm gonna call you out about it.
Simple fact, Garcia was a brilliant musician and a cultural icon. Together make him a legend.
I wasn't pissed, just dumbfounded.
And I think if it wasn't me, somebody else would have begged to differ with your post pretty quickly.
It's no biggie in mind though.
well this most certainly livened up my Thursday afternoon. :clap:
Yeah, if you don't like his playing, that's one thing. It's not for everybody. I understand and respect that. My beef is that you presented this argument that's just factually wrong. I don't see how anyone that knows music theory could dismiss Garcia so quickly. I don't like Steve Vai at all, but I recognize his skills are in the upper tier of guitarists. That he is very talented.
I put Jerry up there because of his style and his musical intelligence. The cliche way to play over an A major chord is to start with the tonic in rock music, and then hit the third or fifth in an ascending manner, but Jerry doesn't do that. He may come in on the second beat and then lead with 7th note, and imply the next chord with an arpeggio, then switch scales entirely. My favorite part about his playing in Dark Star is how he uses D,G, and A scales. He jumps seamlessly from scale to scale too. 9/19/70 is a prime example of this. Listen to what he does after the "space" riff which is in E minor, he then modulates back in to A major and the tension gets resolved so quickly.
I see where you all are coming from and I do apologize if I was unclear. I also can admit I am over simplifying his playing for sure but I simply feel he is overrated by many fans of his music.
I also appreciate your description of what you like about his playing sophist, that is what I was looking for. I understand what you are describing. And, on that note your description of his use of G during Dark Star....well Dark Star is a great example of his use of the myxolydian actually.

I gave you a karma point because it takes balls to come on a thread pertaining to the GD and front an opinion that is contrary to that of most of its posters. But, and as I have learned in the past through experience, you better be clear and concise or its going to get ugly. And, if it does get ugly, stand forth, don't bend, and refrain from being nasty, which was somewhat relatively achieved by all. If this occurs, then we have ourselves a discussion that successfully chews up a hundred or so man hours of productivity from those who employ us. Which is in essence the object of this board. :clap:

haha....I'm really interested to see how I will react to fake Jerry come Tuesday Monday night....
FYP
Pretty sure it's gonna kick ass
While I understand what Sophist is talking about.... and am impressed by his ability to articulate it, the theory stuff is a little over my head. Nonetheless, I freaking love Jerry. The man just played with such emotion. Such soul. I always thought his phrasing was great. The Wolf speaks in full sentences with proper capitalization and punctuation. If only I could have experienced his stage presence just once....
I have often said that if I was reincarnated and hear Jerry's playing I will instinctively recognize it as his in my new life from the way his sound has pervaded my soul in this one.....
I don't play guitar, so I can't comment on how easy or difficult it is to "copy" his solos. Certainly, Jerry wasn't the speed demon that Vai is or Zappa was.
But that's not what music is about.
It's about emotion, feeling, and originality.
Jerry's solos may (or may not) be simple to reproduce. But he thought of them, he played them, he created a sound like no other.
Someone mentioned Miles. My guess is that it's pretty easy to copy any of Miles' solos and replay them. There are a lot of trumpet players who can play faster and higher on the scale. I dare you to find somone who would have come up with that stuff on his / her own. Or, make you feel the same way as Miles could. Same with Jerry.
That along with the feeling and emotion comunicated, is what makes a great musician.

Indeed. Not necessarily a great guitarist.... :evil: Which I do feel are mutually exclusive.
My Miles reference was just to give some people my idea of "perfect" phrasing for comparison sake, not really trying to compare them as musicians. Although, in that regard, I feel both were similarly outstanding band leaders (even though Jerry didn't accept any credit on that front.)

Wait did you just say that being a great guitarist and being a great musician are mutually exclusive?
That don't make no sense. . .
Here we go again...seriously we are just getting into personal definitions of vague words, aren't we? 8-)
A few quick examples...Bob Marley, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, all of whom I consider great "musicians" while not at all anyone you would consider in a list of great "guitarists." They are known for their songs, their words, their music. Not their guitar playing. (Which depending on taste, musical focus etc, etc, could also certainly be up for debate.)
So original rhythm guitar isn't great guitar work?
LOL. Sorry dude. While Dylan may not be known for ripping a crunchy solo, he pioneered folk rock and taught a whole generation of musicians how to write music. That's a great musician and a great guitarist. Jazz guitar started out with chords only, that was the style until Wes Montgomery came along. Playing just chords can be pretty complicated (See George Harrison or how about Bob Weir he had some pretty crazy chords in his tool box too).
Shit, what about the Who? They were never known for legendary solos either, but Townshend has some legendary rhythm work, his use of triplets and complicated strumming patterns isn't easy.

Read your previous post again. You're wrong. Dylan is known for his guitar style, remember the whole "judas" bit because he went electric (i.e. changed his style of playing)?
The same is said about Townshend. He's known as a legendary rhythm guitarist. It's not a matter preference, and just like the last argument you don't seem to get that. Personally I don't like Dylan that much (I don't like his voice but I like his song writing). I'd much rather listen to a slew of other musicians, but I fully recognize that Dylan shaped a social revolution and changed acoustic guitar playing as we know it. That makes him a legendary guitarist. This isn't subjective, subjective would arguing over which version of All Along the Watchtower is better, Dylan's version or Hendrix's version.
Dude, we are arguing preferences now. We really are. You feel Dylan is some great innovator of the acoustic guitar? I do not. He is mainly known for plugging in @ Newport and writing amazing lyrics and songs. Not his guitar playing. Glad you like it. To me it just supported his lyrics. I do not listen to Dylan for his guitar playing. Nor have mentioned anything about many of the guitarists you have brought up.
I love the stamp of the foot "this isn't subjective"
When discussing tastes in music and ideas of what we listen to and for, and those who did or did not contribute this or that, it is nothing but subjective. I can say "Charlie Parker changed popular music." To people who have no idea who he is or don't get jazz, that is a bullshit, subjective statement. To me, it is undeniable law...I'm just not going to try and use it as backing for a statement. I personally just try to always make my opinions known as opinions and recognize others will not agree, not make absolute declarations.
Ignorance of Charlie Parker does not alter the FACT that he changed music.
It's not a preference when a musician impacts music itself. That is a fact, a fact is objective. How do you not comprehend the difference? This is same shit as always with you. You fail to grasp basic principles of argument and ignore reality. I'm heeding your advice here. Consider your ass on ignore. When you acquire reading comprehension skills, a basic understanding of logic, and primitive cognitive functions maybe we can talk music.
I'm so confused, so Jimi Hendrix wasn't a great musician because he was a great guitarist?
mattstick and i were talking about this yesterday, because we both remember reading the story but didnt remember which book it was in or what exactly was said....
but sometime during the MIDI guitar era, someone told jerry he could be as good as miles davis on the trumpet, and jerry says something along the lines of "i am as good as miles davis on the trumpet."
who's got the full story?
I think it was in a Rolling Stone article but Miles Davis wasn't mentioned. it was something like "you could've been a great fucking trumpet player" .. "I am a great fucking trumpet player"
definitely could've been that too
I'm pretty sure there was some sarcasm in that Jerry statement....I remember reading that long ago.
Well this is going nowhere and if continues would probably go downhill pretty fast.
I know sophist has me on ignore...but sorry I feel your statement that Dylan changed acoustic guitar playing is certainly subjective. How many contemporary acoustic guitarists would list him as a influence? How much study has gone into his playing techniques outside of his own fan base? I see Dylan's contributions lyrically and by blurring the lines between folk and rock, not his ability on the guitar in either style. Where would he even fit on the average persons list of influential guitarists? I'd assume pretty low outside of the Dylan devotee demographic.
I would be hard press to list Dylan as a major influence on how acoustic guitar is played any more than I would say he was a major influence on harmonica playing. The fact "All Along the Watchtower" is mostly known to many people as a Hendrix song suggests perhaps many people, when they think of Dylan, do not immediately think of his guitar playing ability. I never stated that Dylan has no merit as a guitarist, in fact I even said I know that statement is up for debate. However I feel it is in fact up for debate and not a decree.
And in the spirit of moving on and trying to bring things back around to being on topic and not my personal Q&A session about my ideas and philosophy on music and my definitions of ambiguous words...I will just leave this thread. Please, if anyone is generally interested in a clarification of anything I have posted or feel in anyway that there is some animosity between any of us...let me know in PMs....I have no intentions of being a distraction, and unfortunately that's what I see going on right now.
Oh and Hicks, I would describe Hendrix as both. He was a multi-instrumentalist who wrote what are now nearly timeless songs and he infulenced a generation of players and brought a fresh take on rock & roll. His ability on guitar is without question unique and monumental to the development/evolution of rock and rock. Not to mention his virtuosity.

I'd have to agree with this. There are certain aspects of Jerry's playing that reflect the influence of Miles. The way he holds a note like Miles holds a note.
On a kind of a related note, there a few interviews with Duane Allman where he cites Miles as a huge influence on his playing.

Of all the jazz players, Ornette Coleman might of had one of the greatest impacts on Jerry's borrowing from jazz. Especially the 1960 album Free Jazz. Birdsong's jam in the later GD era borrowed heavily from Ornette's voice.

No doubt Ornette, Bird, Miles, and Trane influenced Jerry in a big way. You're right though, I bet the feeling of "timeless" music is probably from Ornette (at least partially)
the fact that Jerry actually played on one of Ornette's albums shows that the respect was mutual
Miles also gave Jerry props in his autobiography
i dont remember reading it as sarcasm, i just thought he was implying that w/ the midi guitar, he could sound like a great fucking trumpet player. not that he played an actual trumpet. i thought i remembered the whole context being around the midi guitar.

The GD were innovators in MIDI's infancy and yes, that is what Jerry was talking seriously about. But I still believe that the statement had sarcasm in it. I sat through some of those MIDI experiments and trust me, it did not sound like great trumpet and I'm pretty sure Jerry wasn't deaf. In fact one of the principal reasons why I dislike the late 80's and 90's is because of those MIDI "experiments". But who knows, detecting sarcasm in print is difficult.
definitely the midi on stage w/ the grateful dead was painful at times
but i bet sitting around doing nothing, it could be pretty fun to try to make yourself sound like some of the great trumpet players, which i dont doubt that jerry could pull off every now and again...

he probably did.
based on everything I've ever read about Jerry, every interview I've seen and read, he seemed like a pretty self effacing guy who didn't to take himself or his role in musical culture or history too seriously. I can hear him saying that comment and then laughing after saying it.
Miles, on the other hand...
Yeah I remember reading an interview with him where he said he always thought that he was "getting away with something" to have enjoyed the level of popularity that the GD enjoyed. Of course he may have been just referring to Bobby's guitar playing.
:opens a whole new can of worms:: :evil:

yeah I think the whole point of the author (whoever it was--I'm almost positive it was an RS article) mentioning the trumpet player exchange was that Jerry was dead serious. not that he was being arrogant, but just confident in his MIDI abilities. I really don't think Miles Davis had anything to do with it... fuck, now I'm gonna have to find the article

Wait, so Mandi and her friends are out partying (drunk at the time of your post, I know this because I got drunk dialed by her) and you're reading old quotes about the fat man? My man. :beers:

okay so we were all sorta right :-D
page 19 of the Rolling Stone Garcia book, in a chapter written by Mikal Gilmore. the quote is attributed to John Barlow
Quote
"It made me sad to see that, because I wanted him to be able to appreciate, in some detached way, his own marvel," Barlow says .... "About the most he would say for himself was that he was a competent musician. But he would say that. I remember one time he started experimenting with MIDI; he was using all these MIDI-sampled trumpet sounds. And he started playing that on his guitar, and he sounded like Miles Davis, only better. I went up to him the first time I ever heard him do it, and I said, 'You could have been a great fucking trumpet player.' And he looked at me and said, 'I am a great fucking trumpet player.' So he knew."
Once again, good sleuthing! :clap:

nice sleuthing, blatboom
its pretty much what i was trying to say, yes, it was slightly sarcastic, but he didnt say it in complete sarcasm. he knew...
its his humble nature that made it that much more believable to me - jerry didnt just randomly toot his own horn (whoa, pun). so when he says something like that, while you know its off the cuff and in his normal i dont take myself too seriously classic garcia attitude, he also knows exactly just how good he is. he just didnt talk about it much.
its all part of the mystique of jerry garcia, god rest his beautiful soul.

Yikes, I would not of liked last night's setlist. No flow. Essentially two first sets. SteveSw at LL said it was like two late 80's stadium sets. Definitely not like the heat they brought to Chicago and a few other shows this past tour. I guess they were holding back for Phil's birthday. Man, I would give my left testicle to be at that B-day party.

We had a good ol' time last night. True, a few of those tunes I could do without and flow between songs wasn't there so much, but nearly the whole show was quite well played. I hadn't seen Bob give that sort of effort, well, ever really. Granted I am not quite old enough to have ever seen the real deal. The guys were really having a good time up there and it showed.
I enjoyed Black Throated a lot. Always loved that song so it was great to see it performed for the first time. Fake Jerry threw down pretty hard on Passenger, a song that I'm usually not a fan of but this version was pretty awesome. Caravan claims there was an Other one jam connecting Peaceful Valley and Passenger, but I think he just said that cuz me and Hicks went for brews. :wink:
2nd set started off hot with Scarlet>Fire and had the place rockin. Hell in a Bucket was a'ight. West LA drug a bit for me. Reuben and Cherise was awesome. Fake Jerry delivered it really well and the jam went deep..... a little too deep for my taste when they dropped into Days Between. A piss break was needed anyway and everyone in our group bailed on cue when they realized what song it was. China>Rider of course got everyone groovin again. I was stoked b/c it was really my only call for the show. I wasn't a fan of Knockin as an encore choice, would have liked more energy, this was only reinforced by Bobby botching the lyrics. Touch of Gray was a good choice to end the show. These guys are gettin up there, but they had it goin tonight. I was super happy just to focus in on Phil and Bobby and see them in the groove together. Phil brought the whole band together for a group hug before the final bow and one couldn't help but smile seeing how happy they all were.
This was definitely the best Dead incarnation I have seen live. Phil is such a freaking legend! I love the guy and feel privileged anytime I can be in the room that he's playing. During the donor rap he said "I can pretty much guarantee, we'll be back." Good to hear Phil, good to hear.
:syf: :clap:
Yeah it did seem like a late 80s/ early 90s version of the Dead to me too, but the old school GD vibe was in the Memorial Coliseum last night, where the band played several times, seemed like some spirits were conjured. :syf:

Thanks for the review JP. Others who were at the show and commented over at LL echoed your sentiments that everyone played well, just that the setlist left something to be desired.

yeah, comparing the night in Portland to the previous show's setlist in Denver is a joke...the Portland setlist just looks so blah...I mean, the show before was chock full of 60's era nuggets (Midnight Hour, Alligator, Dark Star, We Bid You Goodnight) not to mentionBird Song and an After Midnight opener....Still, the Portland show was a lot better than in looks on paper...It was about as good as I expected...fake Jerry was OK, not mind blowing, but pretty good, he was doing his best...On rocking songs like Passenger, and on BTW, he broke out of the Jerry mold and blasted of some machine gun riffs ala Big Red...parts of Passenger had him sounding way more like Fake Trey than Fake Jerry, and the crowd responded too.....Despite the beat songlist, the crowd was pretty pumped...Duprees was good, Mama Tried was good, BTW was good, and honestly, not to sweat Hicks and Phishman, but to me, the highlight of the first set was the jam between Peaceful Valley and Passenger....Second set was more of the same....the Scar->FIre was good and Hell in A Bucket featured a reggae breakdown, which was at least original.....It was kinda cool to hear Phil lay down some reggae lines....Phil sounded GREAT the whole night, and the sound in the Coliseum was the best I have heard it.....other awesome things were:
-Joe Russo is 1,000,000 times better than John Molo. Sorry, but this guy crushes Molo, who was always a weak link in PLF in my opinion....Russo and the other percussionist pwned....
-Jeff Chimenti is great and I like him better than Barraco, even though he should wear a headband as well.....
-Hicks scored some DOPE seats during the presale, we were in the sweetspot- thanks holmes!
-My favorite part of the show might have been when Hicks yelled out "Yeah, Fake Jerry" after a particularly tasty lick....I was laughing my ass off...
Basically, it's a good time to see these guys...It's GD music, so it's all good...Phil (and Bobby) are not going to be around forever, so it is great to see them and hear them while you can...I actually got sad during BTW because I was all high and had this bad feeling it was the last time I'd see them, but I got over it....The encores were OK...the end of Rider was good after fake jerry got his axe working again...
All in all a great show...more good times with JP and Hicks....def worth the price of admission....scratch some of the 80's tracks with a Viola Lee Blues or an Eleven and they would have blown the roof off, but whatevs, they can't all be bomb drops....
and the backup singers were good too....

Nice bro!!! Congrats on FINALLY making it to 1k, it's been a long road :beers: k+.....we'll have to hook up FOTM again too, for $2 micros, that kicked ass....
Ran into Bill Walton at the Blazer game last night. He was at the Portland show right in front of a few buddies of mine... as he's signing some autographs I yell... "hey Bill, how about that China>Rider last night?"... he comes right back instantly with "oh yeah! and how about that Scarlet>Fire?!?"... he mentions the Knockin, Touch encore and then slaps me five... easily the highlight of the Blazer/Kings game for me. :-D
I thought they ended the first set really well (BTW, Peaceful Valley > Passenger) and really dug the beginning and end of the second set. West LA was played slower than usual and the Days Between was poor setlist placement imo... but that segued beautifully into China (best segue of the night for me) and I ended up drenched in sweat.
Ran into a ton of friends throughout the night which always kicks the show up a notch... including some setbreak time with Caravan, Hicks and JPhish. All-in-all I had a blast and am so happy to see those two legends still up there rocking it.

Billy K, Scott Murowski, Oteil Burbridge
I would describe them as a jazz tinged trio that happens to do some GD songs more than a "post GD project". Worth checking out - Oteil and Murowski mesh well together.
From Estimated to the end of the show is especially hot

Your statement is equivalent to saying I will evaluate Phish's '09 summer tour by choosing a couple selections from the Fox.
I'm all for criticism and evaluation but judging from your posts concerning this band, it is quite clear that you do not like Furthur. We get it. That being said, if you are truly trying to find something to like, why are you not starting with one of the best shows from tour (03/03 Chicago). To be honest, I would not start at Phil's bday show. Or is it that you essentially do not want to like them.

no particular reason why I chose that show - on paper this setlist looked pretty decent...regarding my posts - it's not that I don't like them (again have only heard a bit) it's more of just not being that jazzed that -SURPRISE- there is another "DEAD" lineup touring..maybe it's because I had the opprotunity to see jerry shows starting back in '88..who knows..I've seen my share of P & F, Ratdog, etc..it's just getting old to me..regarding Chi town thanks for the recommendation (SER) - will check it out

cool. I understand. Do try Chicago 03/03, you might like something there. I must admit, I would rather listen to Jerry at home so will rarely listen to Furthur at home. However, I would definitely go see them if I could catch nights like that one.

Like I said, no guarantee you will like it but there seems to be a consensus that it is one of the better shows. If it doesn't float your boat, well at least you tried. :wink: and Jerry's always on tape.

I agree with SF. They are better live than on tape. I don't listen to them when I have the option of listening to the real deal, but if I can catch them live I wouldn't think twice about it.

Same here. I'm really digging it so far. I rarely listen to any side projects (Furthur, Ratdog, P&F, etc.) but I've been listening to Furthur from time to time lately. I haven't been too impressed with anything I've heard, but my expectations weren't very high to begin with. But this Chicago show is alot better than the other stuff I've heard so far.

New date added for Summer Tour. 7/2 Columbus, OH.
Weird. Furthur has announced for their 2 shows in Mt. Aire they will cover 6 Dead albums in their entirety.
http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/furthur-to-cover-dead-albums-at-festival/ (http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/furthur-to-cover-dead-albums-at-festival/)
5/29/2010
Set I: American Beauty
Set II: Workingman's Dead
Set III: Anthem of the Sun
5/30/2010
Set I: Blues for Allah
Set II: Axomoxoa
Set III: Terrapin Station
WOW! I don't really know what to think of this. Sure I am not too fond of the band, but is this something you Furthur fans actually want from a festival? Hm...? :?
I would like that.
I'd love to hear american beauty. they'd probably bring out a few guests for that, Larry Campbell for sure. worth the price of admission alone for me.
Kinda wondering how they are gonna approach it. DSO style..and just play those songs or, try to recreate those albums as recorded. Maybe a bit of both?
Anyhow, just found it interesting that they have, in essence, announced their entire setlists for the weekend.
weird indeed --- but I would kind of like to see it........
I'm guessing they'll be pretty light on the jamz if they want to fit all those songs in....

they have already done this with Phil and Friends at the Warfield last year or the year before. I can't remember which albums they did though, Live Dead was one of them.
And they won't be light on the jams. aside from american beauty.

I was gonna mention that Phil did it a couple years ago. I think he did a couple/three of the early albums, 1st album & livedead for sure, and a couple of the latter-day live albums if I remember right. Also, if I recall, "the dead" played 7-9-95 set 2 in reverse at bonnaroo 2003, and I believe Phil may have done the Woodstock setlist in '06ish too.
If I was going to a mini-festie like this, I wouldn't want album-covers to be the whole thing. I'd want some sort of surprises. If I were going to do the idea, I'd intersperse non-album sets. Hell, maybe pull out the LPs and mix & match sides. Do something weirder. Play live/dead acoustic and jam out american beauty electric.

I forgot about the woodstock show. They did the '69 set for their second set and it was Trey on guitar. Barry Sless sat out. There is a great Matrix and DTS in circ cause Phil released the boards for free. http://db.etree.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=325596 (http://db.etree.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=325596)

Bonnaroo 03 was the worst post-Grateful Dead related band I've ever heard.
I never knew that. I would imagine it was on purpose. Phil used to love writing out cool set lists for P&F.

Both phil & his wife like writing out crazy setlists. Maybe jill more than phil, even.
But yeah, that '03 "other ones" -> "the dead" was pretty rough in spots. And that's coming from a guy who likes Warren, Joan Osborne, and Jimmy Herring in those dead-related bands.
Just ordered some tickets to catch these guys on the 3rd. First time seeing a incarnation of the Dead. Hope it's good. :-)
For all of you that were interested in 6 sets of Dead album covers @ Mt. Aire....anyone actually listen to the shows yet? We seem more interested in the throat cutting and other incidents.

I listened to night two. It was really good IMO. They nailed then big time. I have to go to Long Island today so thats when i'm giving Night one a listen but from what i've heard it's really good to. It's worth getting.

whoever plays the keys teased fluffhead early in, think
fakejerry teased first tube in let it grow
i was in the car w/ my mother in law driving through rocky mountain national park, so i wasnt able to have it very loud and it was on the ipod so it wasnt really apropros to keep scrolling it back and listening intently to the teases, etc.

Yes, this was the fucked-up, angry-making bad news of the week here in VT.
That's shitty news.

Not me. The GD were where it all started. I'm going back home tonight. I last saw Bob and Phil in Boston 2002. I did Albany and then two nights in Boston. This band is freakin' hot too. And....I don't have to listen to a guitar player struggle to keep up with his mates.

Me too bud but I grew out of touch over the yrs. The last :syf: project I saw was Ratdog in 2008 and while it was good, it didn't really move me. Other than that, it was Highgate in 95. I am very pumped to see them but from the look of the last few Phish shows, I don't see how Furthur will measure up. I'll reserve judgement til tomorrow night and it's great to hear they've been playing well.

IMO, for last few Phish shows the Trio has played great. But I'm getting tired of the missing man formation. :-D My ticket says improv. Oh and some of the Furthur shows this tour are :-o :-o A notch above some of the recent Phish output in terms of musical prowess. This ain't Ratdog. I can't stand Ratdog.

MY FIRST GD/PHISH SHOW SINCE THE OTHER ONES BOSTON 2002/PHISH SHORELINE 2000Well, I called how the show was going to be structured, can be kangfirmed by Phishy. I called a bluesy night with a Help Slip Frank tossed in..we got the Help>Caution>New Speedway. Keep in mind, this is labeled as a Blues fest and a lot of people were not heads. That being said, looking at the setlist might give one a groan but as we know setlists do not always tell the tale of the tape. Setlist wise, the only real let down for me was the last last four songs. I would of liked to have seen them replaced with a huge turn into Franklin's. I have since learned that I Fought the Law was last minute, and taught by Phil to the rest because they got shaken down hard crossing the border. This was also reflected in the law breaking nature of the set as a whole (Alabama Getaway, Mama Tried [twenty years in prison......], Bertha [why don't you arrest me...], Trucking[Busted down on......], I Fought the Law).
So let us talk about the band's playing as a whole. To sum it up in a couple words......Johnny fucking K. The man is freakin' dirty. Holy Christ, pure nastiness, dude's a monster with huge chops. I recently saw Knopfler, which I thought was awesome......and he made Knopfler look like a child in a kindergarten plastic instrument circle. Not only has he copped from Jerry in a most honorable way, but he has added these wonderful twists and approaches that had me grinning all night and of which I am sure Jerry is similarly having a little chuckle over. His tone is absolutely gorgeous, real '76 warmth with that '77 bite. You know, I really enjoyed Phil and Friends with Warren and Jimmy but this is better....because he's flat out a better guitar player. His voice is spooky, and we'll leave it at that.
As for Phil and Russo, are you kidding me? 70 year old man stands for nearly three hours non stop without sitting down, all the while bitch slapping the fuck out of his bass. And Russo's just giving it to Phil, no -I'll take it easy on the old man-. It took a couple songs for them to dial in the PA but then it was on. Obviously, it goes without saying, Russo's a brilliant drummer. That being said, I think this is the best outfit I have seen him play in as it gives him so much room to move and now, without Jay Lane, he's able to be even more creative a la Billy K sans Mickey. His tom work and use of the toms' tones was awesome and I love how he plays with the entire surface of the cymbal, stuff not often caught on tape. And Phil is getting off on it. I have never seen him smile so much.
Bobby, well he wasn't pulling his weird sing talk phrasing and thankfully he's still crunchy. I Love my Bobby, love his rhythm, always have; IMO probably one of the most creative rhythm guitarists ever, you can't lose. And Chimenti fills in the blanks nicely, throwing in some spacey effects and spending a lot of time hitting the B3.
HARMONIES WERE AWESOME....THEY HAVE TWO BACK UP SINGERS (A GUY AND A GIRL), THIS WORKS INCREDIBLY WELL.
Highlights of the show......Bucket was awesome (I love Buckets and this one went deeeeep, Johnny K played shit that would of made Jerry laugh his ass off, Phil was), Bertha (had a deadly bounce), Trucking>Smokestack you knew was coming and it delivered, chunky blues. BUT the piece de resistance was the Help>Caution>New Speedway. Hey instead of me telling you about it, I uploaded an FOB Aud of the three songs to mega. Should take ten minutes to download:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FWPS7VKC (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FWPS7VKC)
This is a SICK band. If Phish were playing on one side of the street and them the other I would have a hard time deciding which to see. Seeing as Phil is 70, I'd probably pick Furthur. But I still need to see a real show. You know China Rider/Playin/Scar>Fire/Dark Star/Other One...
Awesome SF. Glad you're digging on them man. Sounds like a hell of a show. I can't wait to hear it.

help with no slip/frank is also law breaking.
sounds like good times were had.
here's to more in the future.

but here's my take on it. Instead we got four encore songs to close the show. Songs which, if you think about it, were played for those who didn't know the GD in the audience, which was thousands. During the big jams, I noticed more of these "straight" people talking to each other. Surprisingly, give them all a chorus to sing like FREEEEEDOM LIBERRRRTY, or I WILL SURVIVE or I FOUGHT THE LAW AND THE LAW WON and they re-engaged. So that's why we sort of got what we got. Something like Terrapin would of sailed over their heads by 50,000 feet.

SF I noticed a lot of that when i saw them in Herkimer. People during The Dark Star > Terrapin were not into it at all just kinda talking. But during the first set with the hits like truckin and stuff they were huge into it. I think me and my friend were the only people that just lost it during the Dark Star and the Terrapin. I love Terrapin so much. They nail it everytime.
Had a total blast at the show. Will agree with SF on pretty much every point althoough I felt Bob was just ok during some of the jams. Seemed a bit awkward as to where to go with the jam or how to add his 2 cents.
Johnny K, WTF! This guy may be my favorite addition to a Dead related ensemble and I hope he stays on.
Russo and Phil were just laying down the grooves and I spent most of my night focused on them. And I can't believe this guy is 70 and can still play as many notes for an extended period of time. Just incredible.
I mentioned my highlights in the meetup thread but will say that the Help>Caution>New Speedway was bad ass and Wharf Rat has always been a fav of mine so it was fun to get a well played version of that. JK's voice, as SF said, is eerie how similar it is to Mr Garcia.

interesting.
help with no slip/frank is also law breaking.
but here's my take on it. Instead we got four encore songs to close the show. Songs which, if you think about it, were played for those who didn't know the GD in the audience, which was thousands. During the big jams, I noticed more of these "straight" people talking to each other. Surprisingly, give them all a chorus to sing like FREEEEEDOM LIBERRRRTY, or I WILL SURVIVE or I FOUGHT THE LAW AND THE LAW WON and they re-engaged. So that's why we sort of got what we got. Something like Terrapin would of sailed over their heads by 50,000 feet.
Yeah, this is true. The crowd reacted like crazy when they busted out Casey Jones, everyone was whooping and hollering and singing along.
It's funny too 'cause I had left SF and went to the front until they started Help, then I wandered back to find him to congratulate him on his Franklin's call and then they left it out.
I'm really excited for the two shows this weekend in Philly.

Had you guys not seen John Kadlecik with DSO? He's been killing it for a long time now. Hearing him play and hearing his voice was a big reason to see DSO.

Oh, I've seen him before, quite a few times back in the 90's. But he's definitely improved and sounded quite nice coming out a big PA. I also have all the Furthur shows since they have been playing, and I have enjoyed his playing more and more with each each show's passing. Looking forward to seeing them fall tour. Would be nice a November run at the Nokia in NY. Although Phil most likely will not want to leave Cali at that time.

I thought there was some really great moments. John K delivers.
its 2+ months away but i cant wait to see this band 2 nights @ red rocks just a few nights after my 32nd birthday, too bad i cant see all 3, but im stoked as hell for 2.
nobody else ever commented on the 2 phish teases from the mountain aire soundcheck.... funny stuff, imho.

I've noticed John loves playing teases, possibly influenced by Phil who also digs them although they are less prominent with the bass. In Ottawa, the two of them locked into the refrain "I get high with a little help from my friends" deep in one of the jams. Can't remember which one though.

do you wear a dress? I wore a dress at a show once {possibly a Portland day show} cause I had sunburnt my legs so bad the day before. I had passed out drinking under a car but my legs were sticking out.

so i threw on this show i went to last saturday. and i am already liking this more than when i was there.
/ducks
i guess the only reason was the drunk factor and honestly just thinking of how cool it would be if phish played Mann Music again.
I would have loved to see em rock that place.
anyway I am really liking this Playin', it delivers. as does this HELP>SLIP>FRANK :music:
def a cool show to see. i def remember dancing pretty nice to this second set while giving this a relisten. good stuff

save the drunk factor for Van Halen; up the psychedelic factor for the GD.
I had a great time at those Philly shows. I was able to sneak up close both nights.
The biggest thing that stuck out to me was how patient they were as a band and in creating the music.
My only gripe was with songs like Brokedown Palace and Days Between were song by Bob. He did a decent job but still.

I had a great time at 07/10! 07/11 was pretty good too. Right now I'm listening to the Gelston show. Not bad! :music:
So Bobby wiped out hard last night in New York City. It started with not being able to sing a verse in Brown Eyed women to destruction during the El Paso where they played it instrumental.....to then falling over his amp. This was during the first set. For a lot of the show he was fake strumming his guitar. He did come out for the second and was better but still weak. It was brought up at LL so I sussed out the set list thread and commentary from the Phil Zone here. Yikes. Was it exhaustion, being wasted or stoned....who cares, who knows:

That's a damn shame. Sounds liked a mix bag of opinions though, some saying he was too stoned or drunk, others like it was more emotional, like something happened and he was down...other blaming the teleprompter....who knows, couldn't find any clips on youtube just yet, but here's the 1st set, just started on shakedown right now...

Just listening to "Tales from the Golden Road" on Sirius and they gave the "official" version of events... Phil's "wrong cup" joke was just that... a joke. They said Bobby hadn't eaten all day and had a "negative reaction" to some prescription medication. Alcohol was not mentioned at all. Acid was refuted (refudiated??) wholeheartedly.
So, poppin' too many of the wrong pills?

Sometimes too much of everything is too much.

I guess that settles it. no booze, no acid.
yep.
if it wasn't for the fact that Jill is totally anti substance, I wouldn't buy it for a minute.
I still might not.
but then, as far as I'm concerned,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

still, to each his own.

my wife is probably bailing, so I might have an extra Friday.....depending on how much tickets are going for, we could prolly work something out....I'd rather get it to you rather than deal with trying to sell it in the lot....let me know....

Yeah, was looking at that too, but the whole Wednesday night thing isn't very appealing. Like they said before, depends on what happens with Phish fall tour.
Guess I will have to hit the St. Louis show since it is less than a mile from my house :rawk: :rockout:
I got myself a couple seats for Vegas. Thought I might not go since I could only get GA but I never changed my flight so the trip's back on!!
Is anybody going to the Eugene shows? I really need a ride from Portland to Eugene. We can crash at my place both nights.

its 2+ months away but i cant wait to see this band 2 nights @ red rocks just a few nights after my 32nd birthday, too bad i cant see all 3, but im stoked as hell for 2.
nobody else ever commented on the 2 phish teases from the mountain aire soundcheck.... funny stuff, imho.
getting pumped up a bit later, but this will be fun and i'm only catching saturday. Always a good time to catch a show with the Davis clan.

They happen to be passing through my homebase of Ames, Iowa on Nov. 7th. Snagged a couple of 2nd row tix. I figured WTF right, I mean... it's not every day that a dead reincarnation plays in Ames. :syf:

2nd row should melt your face..... I've found that with Furthur, after gauging tour setlists, it's about a 50/50 chance that you get face melted if you're not a raging deadhead. The odds are 2/3 is you are. Pretty good odds when it comes to jambands these days.

Nice. Im pretty pumped for this show. Overly pumped really. I've seen Ratdog twice, and P&F twice, but this seems like the fire for sure with Russo and Kadlecik.
Once again im just stoked for Eugene...
^damn, I was planning on being out west then and going to those shows with some friends of mine too....and now it's definitely not happening. And I don't think I'm going to be able to catch my "hometown" show in Minneapolis on nov8 either. :-(

Looks gorgeous. Liked the pics of the sky...seemed like a great night.
It was a cool venue, but I would have preferred to have not gotten soaked for the entirety of the second set.
Also, after the show I poured a beer (unintentionally) down the top of a 50" LCD at JPhish's rental house and I'm told it survived!

i didnt get to go, sf. had to sell my tix. and.... fuck that was the show i wanted to see. like, exactly. holly asked me what i wanted this weekend and i said "help, slip, frank, and terrapin."
hopefully they saved some heat for tonight when the sun goes down. i guess we get the "playin in the band" show tonight? st. stephen?
i figure the afternoon set will be a lot of short songs, probably a handful of cowboy tunes? afternoon sets at red rocks just kinda have that vibe...

A lot of the heavy hitters have been played over the last two nights. But you never know what they may have up their sleeve.
Last night was more uptempo than Friday night which was really mellow and Jazzy. They still did some great jams. Nothing like experiencing that music at Red Rocks. This evening I'm hoping to get an Alligator and a Bird Song. Whatever they play willl be great because they are playing really well right now. John sounds better than I've ever heard him. He's really been going for it...no holds barred!

The help>slip>franklin's was perfect in santa barbara. the slipknot was kind of sketchy at some points if i remember correctly but still perfectly executed. Playing in the Band second set tonight i feel like and definitely a bird song IMO. Wish i was there raging at RR.

That doesn't appear to make much since but it does completely. the trannies were good and phil was laying down bass lines the whole time that were great but it wasn't a super powerful slipknot of epic proportions?
it's hard for me to relay my thought through words , but does that make any more since?
i had a great time. didnt know a couple of those songs, though. colors of the rain? magnolia mountain? i assumed that they were newer phil or bobby songs. i know two diijn is an older bobby song, but i didnt know it either.
second set was pretty good, joe russo is a maniac. they still keep fake jerry in the pocket, i dont think they let him sing an entire song all night.

yup, pretty much everything I wanted. The viola stuff was really surprising, def enjoyed. That cumberland got really dark and "mine like"....i was an :angel: so that's the best sober description of that I can muster. Bertha's always one of my favs to catch too.
The terrapin was delicious...so sweet. Could have listened to that for the whole set. I know a lot of people dig unbroken chain, but it just doesn't do it for me. The close of set 2 was marvelous....the errie dark star note is always great when unexpected....had a blast, very happy I enjoyed the show vs. braving the fob tape.
Magnolia Mountain is a Ryan Adams song.

Tonight I went to the Furthur concert in cinci. I didn't roll up with any tickets so we were trying to scalp some, but to no success, we weren't trying to spend over 20 bucks. But then we meet up with our two friends up near the entrance they came from like 2-3 hours away (without a ticket). But there is this couple standing there looking at us and they walk over and ask us if we were together, we said yeah. But they had 2 tickets, they were willing to stub in 2 people. So we let our friends go cause they made the drive, but the couple said we might be able to get some more. But we ended up going back to my friends house, we were there for like 5 minutes then we get a call to come back cause we will get stubbed in for free as well. So we rush back and we get there and run inside and get in there with like 10 min left in the first set. The place was a suite though, it was SO awesome. We got to smoke with all these chill old people :-D. A bunch couldn't smoke though cause of work.
Great picture Mirth. That was during the second set btw. Yes, I was navigating the outer reaches of space, and two, fuck you Phil :hereitisyousentimentalbastard .
Great time in the Windy City. I love Chicago, and I couldn't of asked for a better time this weekend. Like I posted before, it was awesome meeting Keller in Indy (Mr. C sorry we missed each other). The drive from Indy to Chicago was a breeze on Saturday morning. I got into Chicago around 10:30am. I decided to drive around for a bit and scope out the downtown sections while I waited for my buddy's flight to get into town. I cruised down Lake Shore Drive and then cut into the city once I got past all the peers. I drove by Solider Field as well, which I felt was really fitting. My buddy's flight was at Midway, so I cruised back over to Midway and picked him up.
We checked into our hotel, which happened to be about 2 miles from the venue. I called Mirth, and we set up a meet up at Twin Anchors (http://www.twinanchorsribs.com/our_restaurant.php). One of my other friends joined us for lunch, but she couldn't make the show. Mirth, my buddy, and I then headed back towards our hotel where we hit this pub up for more beers, and after that we made moves to hit the lot.
The lot was bumping by 5:30ish. It was cold out. I always liked the sketch factor of Furthur lot, something about controlled anarchy just strikes me right. The lot here took sketch to a whole new level. Within 10 minutes of being on lot, I saw two kids (had to both be under 20) get busted for working a tank. This spunion was also following the cops around yelling, "does anybody have any 6 up gum? It's the last thing I need for my scavenger hunt." One of the meat head cops finally snapped, and started yelling back, "why don't you say what you really mean?" Over and over. It shut the wook up. We enjoyed a few beers on lot, procured some goodies. The lot was full of bunk shit, which is kind of funny and sad. Funny in that it's so obvious that it is bunk, but sad in that it kind of looks like it's a common practice to fuck people over. It took me a while to find someone that was legit and had what I wanted. We tried to find cheap tickets on the lot, but no one was selling tickets for under $50. Mirth decided to stay in the lot to hang with his friends, while my buddy and I went inside to snag good seats. I'd say capacity was ~80% for the show.
UIC arena is a bad ass place to see a show, and I loved the set up and vibe of the arena. As far as the show goes, I loved it. These guys keep getting better and better to me. I was kind of thrown off by the slower arrangement of Minglewood (Russo plays the beat very differently), but it's a good opener none the less. I loved the placement of Mama Tried as well. Doin that Rag was a good treat, and I will never complain about Dire Wolf. Overall I thought set one was solid. It didn't have anything mind blowing, yet it satisfied me.
My buddy and I found Mirth right as set II started. So we raged set II with him. I really, really loved this second set. I will admit I was a bit thrown off by the Lost Sailer > Saint opener, but it worked. Mountain Song through the Other One was a blistering run of face melting music. The highlight being the first jam in Terrapin, and a very soulful Morning Dew where JK had the reins for the whole song. OMSN is always fun, though again, the change in the beat by Russo makes it odd to hear at times.
Mirth, my buddy, and I hit the lot for a bit after the show, and then we finally started walking away from the venue in hopes of finding a cab. After some searching we found one and had the cab driver drop us off at the hotel. We then decided to go find beer. F-A-I-L. We tried three places and got shut down each time. So Plan B. We ordered a pizza and had the pizza place deliver us beer (I went on about how awesome this is for several minutes, as my Southern ass has never had this happen before). Mirth bounced sometime, and eventually I crashed. I slept til 9ish, then had a quick bite to eat and hit the road. The drive back wasn't bad, it was just really, really long. I got in right at 11pm last night, and crashed.
Great rage story d00d.
furthur is 20 min away tomorrow. I think I'm going.
Here are some pictures.
more pictures.
last two.
nice write up sophist! good times indeed.
uic was definitely cool, first time back since the :phish: run in '98
highlights for me in the first set were dire wolf, mama tried, caution and get back.
second set started out pretty slow, but from rider on it was amazing. when the slow songs deep in set two are morning dew and unbroken chain, there is nothing to complain about. terrapin > eleven > other one :crazy:
while i'm not a huge saturday night fan on tape, it is indeed a great way to end a show in person on a saturday night.
i pretty much looked like the above picture all night, as it was impossible to keep a smile off my face and my feet on the ground. my only regret is not hitting the show friday!
:syf:
Looks like great times. I really need to get out and see furthur. I feel lucky to have seen phil a few times in the last 5 years or so. But i'd love to catch him at least one more time before he stops touring.
few pics...
stage, sophist and his buddy ariel, and solo shot of him.
LOL @ Ariel cheesin'
bhahahahahahahahahahaa
That is one shit-eatin' grin :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
I bet :wtu: and him would get along great.

I drove slow as hell through that so I could take in and enjoy the awesomeness of it. I have to say, that was one of the coolest drives I have done in a long time. I got to drive through the Appalachian mountains in Tennessee and Kentucky, and then the plains of Indiana was really cool too. The final drive into Chicago from Midway Airport is so awesome, and I can't say enough about Lake Shore Drive. So amazing.
I can't wait to return.

It's totally different and yet just as crazy at night. You see the close blinking red lights, then your eyes adjust focus and you realize that there are blinking red lights as far as you can see in both directions...

I am a dead fan (kind of) but I'm not super familiar with all their songs. But here is the setlist, Bold are ones I know pretty well.
Furthur
US Bank Arena
Cincinnati Ohio
November 14, 2010
Set 1
Dancin' In the StreetsAlthea
Me And My Uncle >
Friend of the Devil
Cold Rain And SnowSeven Hills of Gold
Bird Song
Promised LandSet 2
Deal
Sugar Magnolia
Scarlet Begonias >
Estimated Prophet >
He's GoneKing Solomon's Marbles
Days Between >
Fire On the MountainThrowin' Stones >
Sunshine Daydream
E: Samson and Delilah I don't know the dead nearly (actually even close) as well as I know phish. But I had a great time, and I was there for the music, not the party, just smoked a couple bowls with the old folks. ;-) I was groovin' the whole time though. :-D
And I wasn't that drunk. But I smoked a couple bowls before I went up to my dorm so that's why I said "really". But it was a great time, again since I don't know dead that well, I do not really know how furthur jams compare to the best dead versions. At the end of promise land (when we were still getting to our seats) the piano solo near the end got crazy!
All I know is during the Deal>He's Gone string of songs there were some TIGHT grooves they got into. King Solomon's Marbles was a super slow song so I sat down and took a break during that, but (if it was actually a change of song) that Days Between song got me to stand up and start grooving again. :-D And that Fire on the Mountain... OMG.... that shit got WILD, now I have heard my fair share of this song and they went hard as fuck! The guy playing the boards (sorry idk his name) ripped it up on the organ. I was going nuts during that shit. :-D
Sorry I can't really give a good review of the show because I am not familiar with all their songs and their past. But I had a great time and I would definitely go again.
You got your tunes mixed up Junior. KSM is an instrumental tune that kicks ass, and always has a soaring jam in it. KSM is a fast tempo and it's a difficult song to play. Days Between is a slow song where Phil sings, and it can be a set killer.
glad you had a good time, thanks for the review.

Ohh!! so that was it, the guy who was in the box said that the slow one was KSM. Yeah Days Between was pretty boring my buddy asked why everyone was leaving, I said piss break. :tte: I just assumed (bad assumption I know) that no lyrics=He's Gone jam.
But yeah that was alot of fun for sure.

Sometimes when Phil breaks out a verse or starts up lyrics to a slower song, I feel my soul lift and it feels like its takin flight out of that building
Cant wait to hear this show
Downloading Chi town now, this one looks like a SOLID show. Furthur tour seems like a lot of fun, I went to Charlotte, Asheville, and Hampton last year and thought that each show was a fun but left somewhat disappointed every night in some of the song choices and covers.
Samson & D encore was a given since it was a sunday show and bobby loves bustin that out on sunday i.e. greensboro '09

Asheville and Charlotte were weird shows to me. They def had a lack of flow to me. I think they've gotten better about that. Hampton was the best of the SE run imo. I would say the same about that Atlanta show back in February, it left a lot to be desired from me. After Saturday though, I felt very content. I saw a huge performance jump in how they play and in how they segue. They're jamming really well right now.

Depends on the night of the week I woukd guess, and venue size.....I would think the Centrum would be pretty easy because it is pretty big, but who knows. The Oregon shows were both sold out and tickets were hard, but it was a summer Thur/Fri and the venue was only 7000....When they played the Memorial Coliseum here in Portland last winter there were still tix at the door, but not any in the lot....From this thread and other places, I don't think below face tickets are actually too common....Whatever...I paid $50 plus fees for the show and it was really worth it....

Me and my buddy originally set out to get like tickets around 20 bucks on lot, but we couldn't find any. Everyone was selling for face or over.
$20 for a $60 - $70 face ticket is a tad unrealistic IMO.
There wasn't much chance of you finding any for that.

But I'll take trey over bobby as a front man any day of the week. Both musically and personality-wise.
Having said that, I've never been too keen on the phish vs dead debate. So I'll just leave it at that.

He started it :wink: I agree, let's not go down that road again.
I would pick Phish over Furthur as well but that's only because the 4 band members are still alive and playing shows. I still don't know if I would say the jams are better quality than what Furthur has been putting out over the last tour though. I think in 30 yrs or so, we'll look back on this time and realize we were pretty fortunate to have the chance of seeing either group still playing quality music (up for debate I'm sure) at the same time.

twin anchors is a fun place. good beers.
and the wind farm you drive through, i was totally awe struck the first time i drove up there.
i pulled over and prolly watched them turn for like 30 minutes...
I drove slow as hell through that so I could take in and enjoy the awesomeness of it. I have to say, that was one of the coolest drives I have done in a long time. I got to drive through the Appalachian mountains in Tennessee and Kentucky, and then the plains of Indiana was really cool too. The final drive into Chicago from Midway Airport is so awesome, and I can't say enough about Lake Shore Drive. So amazing.
I can't wait to return.
it's super cool to watch the change in the lay of the land from KY>Chicago.
anytime you need a tag-along, give me more notice and i'll meet you in lex/'ville area :)
oh, and...

Tonight was fun to say the least. Review tomorrow.
I gotta sleep though ill talk tomorrow.
DAMNIT... I wanted Help>Slip>Frank's Tower (I don't know if I've heard Born Cross Eyed but, since its bolded I assume it rages)
Good shit though.
Born Cross Eyed is the shit.
That second set looks hot as hell. I bet JJ woke up this morning in a puddle of his own face.

::SF patiently taps keyboard while waiting for a heady JJ review::
Last night kinda sucked at first.
I didn't get out of work till late and I didn't get inside till the middle of greatest story.
before and after Reading was a mad house. 5-0, k-9, bike cops in parking lots, shit was bonkers so i didn;t even stick around at all.
Anyway, even though i was late the first set action i saw was real cool especially hearing beatles tunes. I love abbey road so come together was a treat.
More beers were had and some dope dank and then lights for playin came down. :banana: went into some new tune (wasnt bad just more meh)
but from the wheel on out :crazy: I usually don't really dance for anything other than phish, i broke out some moves though last night. Especially during uncle johns>let it grow :clap:coolest shit of the night. I think even a few of my phish moves broke out too. :roll:
then oh what's that? doing time, for some other fuckers time :banana:
what next? some help, sure why not. help>slipknot>franklins is one of my favorite segue segments in music and with the addition of born crosseyed it was money.
and i couldn't believe it, nobody sticks around for encores. place got even more barren than it already was after franklins. JOHNNY B GOODE :crazy:
fucking awesome. I look around and i swear there are about 200 people left inside. dumb.
I had a blast at something that wasn't phish, I almost didn't believe it myself.
Then off to my buds studio for some free gas with bong action.
Good night.
You didn't like the first set? Interesting. Do you consider yourself a deadhead JJ?
Thanks for the review JJ, sounds like a dandy of show, look forward to hearing it.

I think the fact that he only made it in for the last 2.5 songs was the reason that the beginning of the night sucked
I don't think he said the first set sucked. He simply was stating that the beginning of his night sucked ie. arriving late, cops, ect... then he goes on to say:

No, you don't have to be a deadhead to enjoy Furthur. I'm just curious because he described some of it as "meh." That's why I ask. Also, you're trolling the thread here. I know you got better things to do than sitting around hating on a band.

Those guys are, like, gods. Trey's just a drughead. :roll: :wink:
PT >>>>>
Maybe the difference is Bob and Phil are 63 and 70 respectively and are playing at or above their capability so they deserve a bit of praise. While Phish in their mid 40's, although playing well and have some great shows here and there, are not quite reaching that level that some feel they should.

89-91%. I joined in '05, so considering that they've only been back 20 months, the vast majority of my posts are non 3.0 hate. I'm not saying they are untouchable. It's one thing if you were actually listening to these shows and critiquing the specifics of it (which is what I do with 3.0) and it's another just to post blatant platitudes that contribute nothing. You want to hate, knock yourself out, but give me something specific that shows you at least made the effort to listen to them.
I just don't get why you (TFG) even bother posting in a thread about a band you obviously hate so much. When others rip on Phish, they usually have at least listened to the show and like the band to certain degree (or have hopes they will get better in the future).

I'm not sure why a dissenting opinion about anything related to the Grateful Dead is such a problem. Read my post...a question to sophist and a comment on people leaving the room empty for encore. If you feel making fun of a crowd for emptying early is hate...toughen up! :wink:

A dissenting opinion would be "I thought the encore from Saturday night was pretty weak, they should of played We Bid You Goodnight," see? That's something we could discuss. No right or wrong opinion on that. Writing "lol" isn't dissenting or even discussing it dude. You know this, I know this. You want to talk about the music, let's. Otherwise, it's just a distraction if you have nothing to add. It's already been established that the Furthur crowd is the worst out there. I don't think anyone is arguing on their behalf, nor do I expect anyone to speak praises for the people that tour with Furthur. My issue here is that you're labeling your posts as dissent, when dissent implies that an initial level of satisfaction existed, and we all know that from show one, you've hated on these guys. Need I pull up your San Francisco posts about them? I'm not asking you to bend over and take a gang bang from them, I am asking that you listen to the music before you rip on it. If this was Phish, everyone would expect the same standard, and it's a reasonable one.

Because that's all you ever have and it's a tad tiresome. But whatever, I'm not offended, I've come to expect it, doesn't mean I understand it.
Please send me boards then! I'd love to hear all the progress you mention, I do. Until then I'll gladly stay out of this thread. But, when phish tour is finally over and I have an actual home again, I will scrutinize every detail and post accordingly.
I used to love the dead and will defend anything 69>73. I attended what was called the best show of last year...I have tried to listen here and there and simply do not hear any of this excellence mentioned. I'd love to hear some true group improvisation that didn't sound like Phil planned it all out.

Any of you guys know a good place to grab some decent food and some good beers/booze near the venue? Haven't been down to Woostah in a while, so I forget where the "hot" spots are. Plus, we are getting down there around 4 to make sure we beat the Friday afternoon shitshow that the Mass Pike always offers...

Y'all need to chill the fuck out. I have talked with TFG in person about this subject multiple times. Dude does not hate the dead.
Also, I don't see how lol'ing at a crowd leaving before the encore is "Trolling"...
Maybe thatfargone is the type of person who you have to spend time with outside of the computer in order to understand his method of using the interwebs/sense of humor...but I can tell you that dude man is not looking for a fight
Funny how defensive people get on here sometimes. It's music people. Chill the fuck out.

I've spoken with Joe about this topic too (several times in person and on fb chat). I'm not defensive. All I'm asking is for more than a lol comment.
I like the lol comment. It's kind of like poking an antpile with a stick. I fucking love doing that shit.

I saw nothing offensive in his posts at all. Perhaps a playful jab, but a playful jab should be treated as one. I was just kind of surprised to see how rapidly that whole exchange escalated from what I thought was joking around, to ser biz.
Which brings me to my next point:
Don't FUCK with the dead. Bobby will kick your ass. You remember this, thatfargone. Dead is SER BIZ.

Everybody shut the fuck up!

I'm so dosing the fuck out of your punk ass Hicks. I'm talking the type of trip where masturbating aliens shooting their alien reproductive juice at you is akin to some sort of cosmic epiphany.

I'm so dosing the fuck out of your punk ass Hicks. I'm talking the type of trip where masturbating aliens shooting their alien reproductive juice at you is akin to some sort of cosmic epiphany.

One time I was flying so high I had convinced myself that peeing on my friend would help me figure out some sort of intrinsic secret of the universe.
He was not amused and left my babbling ass out in the woods to fend for myself.

Everyone hates jams. We're supposed to also.

For the record, both Phish and Furthur are nostalgia acts. And damn good ones at that. :rawk:

I feel like this is the problem with almost any GD side project after Jerry died. Furhur, the dead, the other ones, whateva you wanna call it. They are all pretty much doin the same thing. Wheres my Phil and Friends tour...at least he switched up his friends.
Jealousy is a very bad quality Billy.

I do agree w/ Undermind though...not much class from Billy w/ those comments - right, wrong or indifferent...plus, I've never liked Warren w/ the Dead lineup

I loved Phil's quintet with Warren and Jimmy. Felt they really pushed the music; very much a jazz base. My only problem with Warren is that he has a couple tones/effects that can be quite grating. The one that gives his guitar that "shimmery, watery" sound really gets me, nearly as bad as Jerry's MIDI. But he's undeniably a monster player.
Billy K. - I'll always love him but I will say one thing, his playing abilities have suffered a lot over the years. He's half the drummer he used to be. He should try playing a little more sober. Russo definitely smokes him now. I love how Russo plays GD material. Definitely prefer him to Molo.

QFT.
All I have to say is within the last year I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to catch Furthur 3 or 4 times, Rhythm Devils once, and 7 Walkers once and have thoroughly enjoyed myself at every show. I don't disagree with any thing that these incredibly talented musicians touch simply out of respect for what they have done for music and me as a person. On the topic of John K, I saw him with Dark Star a few times and I'm not going to lie I wasn't moved very much but I have finally began to accept him for what he is and get involved with it after the mini west coast Furthur tour I did previously this fall. I personally don't enjoy Bobby's new tone all that much and when Phil sings it sounds like a deaf walrus mating call but I still don't bitch and complain about what they are doing. I would rather be dancing my ass of to them then sitting at my house with the woman watching fucking tv, wouldn't you guys? For Billy to be making comments like that are just uncalled for IMHO. The last time all these boys shared a stage in what 2009 I think it was?? , it was complete crap. I could have eaten an entire quarter paper and still have been able to decipher how awful it was, and for the most part I'm a sober show go-er!!! Furthur and 7 Walkers are both doing a better job then 'The Dead' did. So after this whiskey driven rant about disrespect and how I am disappointed in one of my favorite drummers of all time all I have to say is this:
Furthur, other ones, the dead, 7 Walkers, Rhythm Devils, Phil & Friends, Ratdog, etc... are NOT THE FUCKING GRATEFUL DEAD! NOTHING WILL EVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE THAT AND I REPEAT NOTHING! So Billy stop bitching because they have a bigger fan base and get more media coverage or whatever it is that has pissed you off and just play your fucking music for us so we can at least get a small percentage of that spark back that you all used to create every night you took the stage together! So to Furthur and 7 Walkers I thank you guys for doing what you are doing and please keep it up, if nobody else feels this way at least do it for me.
:syf:

i wonder what Johnny K thinks of Billys comments.

re: Furthur
"I haven't really got much interest in them. They sound just like the other bands out there doing it. What do you call those bands that copy other bands—" Kreutzmann said. "Anyways, I don't feel they're doing anything really new with their music.
The saddest thing is that they (Furthur) hired a guitar player that's not Warren Haynes. It's too bad. They should have hired a great solo guitar player."
Hmmm, sounds like exactly what I have been saying. Sophist, wheres those boards?
I'm not going to take the effort to upload something I know you're going to shit on. You've made up your mind.
Lol, Multibeast is helping me out. You really crack me up sometimes man. Just don't want a real debate from me huh?
I've been bringing the real debates since day 1 of you being here son. Need I link that AnCo thread where I verbally demolished your ass and eventually showed you the light (i.e. that Animal Collective is the shit)? :wink:
I'm not skirting anything. I know for a fact that you'll listen to any and all Furthur soundboards with your bias fully blasting. I see not point, you're going to hate no matter what.
Ha...and it took me listening to MPP over and over to try and find something to debate you on that finally got me into it. I went into that with hate and bias. Problem is, I think we both know I will not have a similar change with Furthur. But, I am about to move in a few days and will have nothing but time to focus on my own music/playing and listening to a few Furthur boards will surely keep me on task. :-P
I'll bring some furthur over to your new place when you want me to help you out with that WoW you've got :wink:
We'll make a day of it.
Remember I fall asleep listening to Dead on doses. Wait, you make pancakes. :beerbang: Bring it!!!
It is a shame Billy feels that way. I'm only 22, so when i first started seeing shows up until Phish came back, DSO was one of the strongest bands out there on tour. I've seen John K upwards of maybe 15 times now and he has never let me down. If anything, I think he deserves a bigger role in Furthur.
Billy's clearly out of line.
for me personally, my favorite post GD project was P&F. Why- they were specifically trying not to sound like GD, but instead were using the music as a starting point. it seemed more like the Friends were encouraged to put their own personalities into the music and create a new sound. I don't get that sense from "The Dead" or Furthur.

Maybe when Warren Haynes is done digging through the dirt looking for truffles.
I honestly don't think Billy is out of line. I mean, he's calling it like it is. There is a legacy that the Grateful Dead built that those guys are clearly pissing on in his mind. Why rehash old shit with a fake jerry when you could be making new music? He kept quiet when they were playing clubs, but now they're playing MSG? It's such a repugnant money grab it makes me feel ill.
Plus, they have this marketing machine behind them at Sirius and elsewhere that is supposed be preserving the legacy of the Dead and is instead promoting this half-assed Dead band with Bobby farting around and Phil leading the charge.
Those guys have basically given Billy a big "FU" so why should he sit there and say "oh yeah... that's great... love what they're doing..."
He's got no reason to BS.
While I respect your opinion, some of your assertions are stretches at best, insulting at worst.

What about the money grab that is Phish? Them coming back last year, hardly practiced, stumbling around playing to tens of thousands of people. Does that make you feel ill? Seriously now, you're joking with this statement right? It's capitalism brother. Second, I don't think this has anything to do with the money when it comes to Phil. I've been lucky enough to have had a conversation with Phil since his transplant, I can assure you he's in this for other reasons. He might not be able to play for that much longer, let alone be alive.

You seem to feel they are a half assed Dead band, which I respect, but quite a few people do not. I for one don't, and I've studied music and have caught 150 Grateful Dead shows from 1989 to 1995 along with 50 Jerry shows.....I only wish they had jammed as much as Furthur has, or created some of the set lists Furthur has. I felt the same way when I saw Phil and Friends with the Jimmy and Warren. If anything, they are preserving the legacy of the GD by giving an opportunity to young kids in the States to catch them. How you can think there is something wrong with that is incredibly selfish.
Quote from: PIE-GUY on December 05, 2010, 12:39:06 AMThose guys have basically given Billy a big "FU" so why should he sit there and say "oh yeah... that's great... love what they're doing..."
And how did they give him the big fuck you? They didn't do anything of the sort. Billy didn't want to tour with them, and that was his own choice. He didn't really want a touring schedule as he was pursuing other things and enjoys life in Hawaii. But now that Furthur are starting to get some big time attention, he drops this.
Look, I respect your opinion PG, and if you feel it is tired washed up music, then all the power to you. But to draw nasty conclusions is in poor taste. That being said, I should of bitten my tongue last year when I was spewing contrived hate about Phish 3.0.

because they know their "new music" wouldn't even be close to as good as what they're doing now (even if what they're doing now "sucks".)

does it really make you feel ill if msg is packed with music fans that are getting off on or simply enjoying grateful dead music? :?
i'm happy for them. fans & band alike.
:clap: Thank you PIE-GUY!!! I may put it differently but that's the exact thing I feel. To me, even when I saw them, it felt sad. Like they are milking a sure thing while pretending to carry the torch. Regardless of how I think Furthur plays, Billy nails it exactly. Jaded or not he has legitimate points. Furthur is not fresh and they are not doing anything but pretending to be the Grateful Dead for people who want to pretend there is still a Grateful Dead. Or for people just simply happy to hear a few members playing Dead songs, which is fine. It just doesn't mean Billy is wrong or automatically give them a pass from such criticism.
It's funny to me how everyone says it's ridiculous that Furthur continues to cover :syf: material. Wasn't it Phish fans that were freaking out when TAB or whatever band Trey is leading plays Stash or It's Ice, etc. I guess I don't see where the problem lies. I don't care if it's Billy or Bob or Phil playing (or covering as some would call it) Brokedown Palace because I love that song. These types of arguments just make me laugh. I guess we can agree to disagree as some would just rather these senior citizens retire and others would prefer to hear them continue to make music, nostalgic or not.
i agree^^
also if all you "complainers" were any of these guys (that have "dead"icated their entire lives to this body of music btw) you would just retire. :roll:

See thats the thing for me entirely. I preferred Bobby and Jeff as RatDog. They brought something new to the Dead material they covered and wrote material that I enjoyed. For my money, Rat Dog, P&F and DSO w/ Fake Jerry were all better uses of the Grateful Dead song catalog and current members of Furthur, it's as simple as that.
I guess I just wish Phil and Bobby made larger careers for themselves, much like Jerry did, outside of the Grateful Dead framework.

Ratdog fucking sucks. So do most of the P+F line ups. Rarely do you have someone that is worthy enough to sing Jerry songs, and sing them correctly. You get that with JK. You have a guy that has the modesty and the chops to pull it off. Your hatred isn't about creativity, otherwise you'd already know that Furthur is playing songs like Terrapin Station in a way that the original dead never played it. That's far more progress than anything Ratdog, P+F, and the "dead" have ever done.
But JK sang more and by nature was allowed more room in DSO. And none of the "dead" bands ever used exact arrangements. And cool they do the whole suite. Seriously cool. They do HAVE to do something to keep ya going back. :wink:
every incarnation of the dead is a good incarnation.

Fwiw, I'm gonna agree with thatfargone in that I enjoy listening to P+F way more than Furthur. Not trying to hate on Bobby but I get tired of him quickly. Phil and Friends has had some really interesting lineups (some significantly better than others) and seeing how those different artists interpret the GD catalog is a big part of what I like about that project as a whole. With Furthur, I feel like they are doing some really cool things, but they don't grab my attention quite as much.

Just from what I've heard from others, it seems like Furthur is really on point right now and playing well. I would just much rather hear the real deal. With that being said, I would absolutely love to see Furthur live. I just have no motivation to listen on tape.

Agreed. Furthur is a great band, probably the best post-Jerry GD based band, but I can't understand why somebody would opt to listen to them on tape instead of the real thing.
Also that Billy K quote does sound pretty jealous to me.

I'm sure I have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. Some of my favorite shows I have caught live. The improv between Trey and Kimock on night three is pure genius. As well, possibly the best I have ever heard Page play. Page was a monster on that run. What I also love about that run is that no matter how many times I go back to it, I always find some new musical thing that I missed prior. That's when you know a performance was truly great.

Kimock's playing is way more than "derivative of Jerry". He plays with African and Indian stuff Jerry never did. Plenty of people who didn't become aware of Kimock until the later 90's or 00's make that mistake all the time but he's been making his own sound (albeit complementary to Garcia's) since the 70's.

Kimock is an amazing guitarist and it's really too bad that it took that long for him to gain notoriety. I've only got to catch him once but he blew my mind. I only wish it was a full show instead of a festival set.

Kimock's playing is way more than "derivative of Jerry". He plays with African and Indian stuff Jerry never did. Plenty of people who didn't become aware of Kimock until the later 90's or 00's make that mistake all the time but he's been making his own sound (albeit complementary to Garcia's) since the 70's.

Rawsome!
And I like Kimock a bunch more than I do fake Jerry. I've seen DSO a bunch of times, and a couple times for their own little festival up near me (Grateful Fest, Nelson's Ledges). They are cool live, but I might even say I'd rather hear Kimock on tape then fake Jerry live.
I just think fake Jerry is emulating too much, he needs to throw in some of his own style of playing. That's what I like about Kimock so much more, sure he has that same kind of tone and playing style, but its that same style with his own twist. And I like it.
Also tell me if this is wrong, but my dead-head physics teacher last year told me he has been playing with a GD cover band since like the 70's.

No, like Kimock has been in a GD cover band since the 70s.
My physics teacher is like ~35, he only saw the dead in the late 90s, but he turned to phish. The best part is I saw him out of class at Sam's Club and he was wearing a dead shirt. So then we traded HDDs, I got most of his dead, and he got all my phish. And he sold me a phish ticket to blossom.... KICKASS TEACHER AWARD!

Hoping to hit Hampton > ATL.
Sophist and I are going to rage this run hard.
It just hit me how awesome that tour is and that I will be able to knock another venue off my bucket list. The Tower is supposed to have unbelievable sound. I will have a hotie if anyone needs a place to crash in Philly. Yeah, my first shows back!!!!!

No probs, will have floor space for sure and I'm driving down from Montreal, so if you're along the way or need to be picked up at a bus station or airport, I'm game.

Cool. If Sophist is going to this, I'll prob just get him to meet me in Richmond and then we'll drive up together.
Psyched.
I have a feeling that Superfreakie + Sophist is going to be a deadly combination. Can't wait.

I'll get a nice room if there are more of us, no kickdown coin needed. Consider it on me. It's time to rage..... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

A bunch of us should be there. I'm doing the Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Think Soph, McGrupp, JJ will be catching some of the shows, plus I'm trying to reach Slim. I think I'm going to grab a big hotel room, do it up suite style so that we have enough room to fill it with 'paug crew and rage. That way we will also have multiple TV's to launch off the balcony.

get plenty of #1's.
that opening weekend run at the orpheum looks sweet...going to be difficult to not hit those...I like the looks of this tour...shying away from arenas and focusing on smaller places and theaters...good decision
PA is a maybe...
Fairfax seems like a given.
I may have to find my way to Philly that weekend....

Holy Christ!!! SLim lives in Nebraska? Well, all he has to do is get a bus to New York and I'll grab him. I've taken plenty a long bus ride in my time. Would be worth it for three epic days of madness. Like EPIC days.

ok so who is actually coming to philly? besides SF cause i know hes in 100%
I haven't been to the tower since 02, kinda excited to go back.
I'm in.
As am I.
I'm not 100% in as of now, I'll have to see as it gets closer.
But with a crew shaping up like that.... it's seems just wrong to miss.
I'd love to stay on that list but I'm a total wildcard as I probably won't be around at that time.
Looks like it's gonna be a rager of epic proportions though, definitely bummed I won't be there.

Well i'm 20.
Das what I thought
So I need one or more of you northeast fucks to help me out here. I've decided that next week I'm going to buy a flight for the Philly shows. I'm looking at flying out of Atlanta, and into Philly. I'd prefer to take an early afternoon flight and get into Philly mid-afternoon. How's the Philly airport? How far is it from the venue to the airport? How's afternoon traffic in Philly? The Furthur website says showtime is 7:30, so I assume 8pm start time. How many hours of buffer will I need?
Also whats the capacity of the Tower Theater? Do I need to snag a ticket in advance?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I flew into Philly for the AC shows. It's a shitty airport and there is always a lot of traffic around that airport.
If you rent a car, the car rental places are a shuttle bus ride (~ 10 minutes) outside of the airport.
Google can tell you how far it is to the venue, but if I'm you, I don't want to land later than 5:30.
Thanks for the info Matt. Google maps says Upper Darby is ~8 miles west of Philly, so not bad at all. I guess I'll shoot for a mid-morning flight since that would put me in Philly by noon. I'm not going to rent a car. I just assume we can cab it or walk to the venue from the hotel.

I'll come pick you up at the airport. And the Tower theater is small. Advanced internet ticket sale is this Friday.

I don't think this will sell out right away. None of their tours have sold out right away. don't sweat the tickets dude, you'll be fine.
Quote from: McGrupp on January 05, 2011, 12:02:37 PM

That's internet pre-sales. There is always ticketmaster at a later date. Also, while Furthur have taken time to sell out their shows this past tour, they were playing 15,000-20,000 seat arenas. This tour, nearly every venue is really small. Fair enough, they are playing multiple nights, but I would imagine a ticket on a Saturday for a 3000 seat venue is going to be high. All that being said, I might just grab a bunch. What is not picked up can be stub hub'd.
EAST COAST
Orpheum, MA: 2766 (three nights)
Tower Theater: 3119 (five nights)
Nokia/Best Buy: 2100 (five nights)

50? Depends on whether you go through ticket bastard and their surcharges or the Furthur presales.
So what is the roll call on these tower shows?

That was my reasoning. Plus. I'm taking work off again in a few weeks for that Friday Hampton show. So I'm reluctant to ask for that Monday off to catch the Sunday Philly show.

By the way, I did the presale last year and had really nice seats, but anyone can tell you that it was pretty empty. It was only a half house show last year and still lots of room.

So I'm going to try to grab tix for Soph for both Fri and Sat night in Philly. I also need one Sat. for WTU (he's already got his Friday with me) and I think McGrupp needs both nights. George can you confirm if you need me to try to grab or can you get on at 10:00am tomorrow. I might be able to navigate faster and have a better selection if I am only trying to grab pairs. I hear the Tower is a shit show when it comes to seating, so by already having a sweet pair on Friday way up front, at least me and WTU can stub us all down. These are going to go real fast from what I have gathered. The internet pre-sales for Philly-Boston-NYC were sold out in a couple minutes, if that, and a ton of people were shut out.

SF- I do need a pair. If you can try for me, that'd be great. I'm going to be en route to richmond tomorrow morning, so depending on when I mayyy be able to hop on - but if you don't mind/if it's not a problem trying for me that'd be awesome.

yeah, but you left out the part about all the cool kids that were gonna go. :wink:
nah, ser. tho thx for the offer. i mighta taken u up on it but seeing as i havent left my basement in 7 months do to debilitating 24/7 death pains i dont think i'd make it to philly. let alone have the $ for a plane tick.
though i'm thinking of begging my best friend in NYC to fly me out as a last wish before i die.
so, holla if ur gonna be in NYC for further.
So I just grabbed two tix for Friday, therefore McGrupp and Soph in. I have two tix for Saturday one for WTU and Soph. But now my CC is maxed out. I have one more on hold for Sat if McGrupp can get me a CC or it is gone. You have 4 minutes. Sorry JJ, not enough room on the CC to fit ya.
As it stand right now, the following are in:
Friday: SF, WTU, SOPH, MCGUPP :banana:
Saturday: SF, WTU, SOPH :crazy:
Need tix for JJ for each night and one for McGrupp for Sat. If I can get my card cleared by today, keep trying for single tix cause credit card refusals will ensue throughout the day.

::sets rage volume to 11::
JJ MC - There are a couple single tickets up for friday and sat right now on live nation.
Regrettably, I can't grab em because I have no more space on my card. You're going to have to keep checking like this. The next 24 hours when credit cards are being refused and tickets thrown back will be your best bet.

MORE STATS:
QuoteWhat They Played in 2010
A quick rundown of what you were likely to hear at Furthur's 2010 shows....
• Furthur played 1460 songs over the course of the year (196 different tunes).*
• 70% were Grateful Dead songs.
• The next most common origin was "Traditional" at 5.5% of songs.
• Others from GD members: Furthur (2.4%), RatDog (1.4%), Phil (0.8%), Jerry (0.6%)
• No Weir solo tunes (non-GD, non-RD) were played.
• Nearly as many Ryan Adams tunes (26, 1.8%) were played as Bob Dylan tunes (32, 2.2%).
• Among the 1,019 times GD songs were played, their music was written by:**
• Jerry (55%)
• Bob (22%)
• Phil (11%)
• Mickey (3.9%)
• Billy (2.3%)
• Pigpen (2.2%)
• Brent (0.7%)
• Keith (0.3%)
• Donna (0.1%)
*-each song was only counted once per show. (e.g., a split "Dark Star" was counted as played once)
** - to determine song credits, authors of songs with multiple credits were assigned the appropriate fraction of a song. (e.g., "Truckin" was counted as 1/3 Jerry, 1/3 Bob,1/3 Phil)
I want to check them out when they hit Pittsburgh but I don't have the money for a ticket right now. I don't think it will sell out, for a while at least. I'd like to get good seats but I'm not paying $80 fookin dollars to see them

I bet you'll be able to grab a ticket outside the venue the night of the show for 20$. Don't sweat it. It fits around 15,000 for concerts and 12,000 for b-ball and it is on a Wednesday. I'm also pretty sure most have dropped their coin to catch one of the smaller theater shows.
Picked up two nights of TAB tickets instead of Furthur NYC shows. Anyone think those are going to be hard tickets out side? They are playing 8 nights.

I think you should be hitting up the philzone.org's ticket board. I picked up a couple secret extras for some unknowing people to some of the theater shows. People will be putting tickets up for sale there once the ticket master tickets arrive which started yesterday. Here

It's a small detour for me to go to Boston. You're my first passenger and thus navigator. Then we pick up Soph at the airport and anyone else that needs rides. stoner.
Yeah, I'm not crazy enough to fly up :wink: .
yeah, I was wondering how you going to do that :wink:

Indeed. I'm really looking forward to this drive - Ramsay + Me + Roadtrip = massive fast food encounters.

Are you in? I'm not sure what I can come up with now in the way of tix, as I have scrounged about 12 over the last two weeks. That being said, if you can get somewhere where I can pick you up by taking a train be it NY, I'm there in a heartbeat. Hotel is covered, gas is covered.
HUGE UP"S for danje for hooking me up with a sat. extra. Haven't been to this place since '02
SO FUCKING PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, It says Richmond is 237 miles from Upper Darby, so I am thinking McGrupp and I will leave out Friday morning, like 9-10am, which should put us in Philly by 2-2:30. I am thinking I will make the Atlanta -> Richmond drive on Thursday after work. The only part that is really going to suck is doing Philly > Atlanta on Sunday. We're going to have to leave out of Philly early on Sunday just so I can get home in time to sleep for work.

Yup, been in there and the sound is awesome. One thing, and I'm not sure if this has changed, but they don't allow drinks in the theater, so you can drink out in the lobby areas. People puff in there tho, no problem.

Had such a great time, the whole drive up I was talking about how I wanted a Jack Straw and Deal last night... I got both of them so I was happy. Black Throated Wind was pretty solid as well, along with 'Rider' , 'help' , and I honestly can't remember if I liked the Dark Star or 'Playing' better at this point... The night was pretty wild to say the least.

Furthur was nuts, I had a blast. The third night seemed a little forced to me, it seemed like they were playing songs instead of a sets if that makes since?? The Scarlet-Fire tranny was pretty poor but I loved the Not Fade Away>Wharf Rat>Sugar Mag.
Night 2 was pretty solid from start to finish, I was so stoked about the 'Throwing Stones' & 'Lovelight'... I was really spun come night 2 and I just got straight down.. Fun times, were had. You fellow 'paugers that have these boys coming up on your calender are in for a real treat. Enjoy! :syf:

As for encores, it's the GD, often I was heading out to the lots to fire up my grill cheeses for the hungry crowds. Not sure an encore should be something to complain about, Day Job anyone?

SO Revolution was for Egypt and that show was for.........................JILL for Valentines day, read the notes below the setlist. Phil is a pretty cool dude....no? It was the exact set list from the first GD show he brought his wife to see in 1982 on a date...2/17/1982 at the Warfield.

Quotehttp://www.heyreverb.com/2011/02/14/live-review-futhur-1stbank-center-sunday/#2
By Jason Blevins | February 14th, 2011 | View Comments
Furthur is no longer simply sounding like the Grateful Dead. Now two years into a lineup, the band is playing like the Grateful Dead, with cohesive, instinctual, bred-in-the-moment fluidity. The band's three-night stand at Broomfield's 1stBank Center unveiled a tighter-than-ever Furthur, able to subtly tweak 40-year-old tunes with fresh licks that rekindle old vibes lost long ago.
Led by the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, today's Furthur is the best incarnation of a 15-year effort to keep the Dead boat afloat. Drummer Joe Russo, who very likely loses weight every night from his calorie-burning approach to rhythm, has opened doors for everyone in the band, especially bassist Lesh. (There's no way Lesh and Weir haven't realized that if Russo was around 40 years ago, they never would have needed two drummers. Lesh is unquestionably invigorated by Russo's passionate play and the pair seem to be perpetually competing for who can be louder.)
Lead guitarist John Kadlecik has grown into the late Jerry Garcia's role with poise and a confident style that mirrors the Fat Man. Kadlecik's bluesy tone melds well with Weir's sound, as Sunday's first-set syrupy-slow "Sugaree" and twangy "Tennessee Jed" illustrated with the lockstepped duo layering intricate riffs. And Jeff Chimenti on keys adds even more depth, especially when unleashed for a jam. Chimenti's groove on Sunday's "Eyes of the World" had the entire house leaping.
The two grizzled veterans Weir and Lesh have been working hard with their new colleagues and it showed all weekend with graceful, practiced harmonization and many smooth transitions – Lesh's captaining from "Estimated Prophet" into "Eyes of the World" Sunday night was top-notch.
Indeed, Sunday's show capped a strong run for Furthur, with a second-set string that ignited the three-quarter capacity 1stBank. Spinning off the new "Colors of the Rain," growled by the melody-deprived Lesh, the band fired up a stellar-as-ever "Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain>Estimated Prophet>Eyes of the World>The Wheel>Not Fade Away" that ignited the joint like a flamethrower. Those six songs – about an hour of relentless yet surgically precise jamming – can stand up to the Grateful Dead at their best. Add in Kadlecik's gentle touch on "Wharf Rat" and a Beatles-Stones encore that defies the Grateful Dead's long adherence to lifeless send-offs, and Sunday's show is certainly a contender.
I remember in Phil's book he was writing about an especially large number of bass bombs. I need to dig that one up.

Cool looking business in CO.

Those are the first CO shows I've missed in a long time. Guess I have a good excuse since I'm no longer living there. I will be seeing 5 shows on Spring Tour however--including the last two at the Tower.

As of now I'm in for Sat and Weds for the Tower, but will be trying for Fri or Sun once I figure out my work schedule.

If these guys come within reasonable driving distance and you do not go you are ignorant IMO.
Ignorant? Really?

lacking knowledge. correct?
I will say one thing about Furthur. Right now, I prefer much of their output to anything I saw the GD put out 93-95. And their better shows pretty much put all post-Brent GD to shame (90-95). Consider as well that I was at many of those shows that people consider the "best of" from that era. I also can't stand Hornsby, so that weighs in on my decision alongside my hatred for the MIDI and the final Garcia guitar/tone...cringe.
It should also be noted that I felt this way after a couple of the stellar Phil Quintet shows I caught. I don't give a fuck about Garcia idolatry, I care about the musical output and creativity in the playing of the GD canon. I'm predicting that some of the shows I am about to see this spring run will produce some of the best versions of songs I have ever seen the GD or any GD incarnation play in person.

nah its from a movie youngin.
I never saw GD. My first show were Ratdog and then Phil and Friends in '01. So Furthur is the best in my experience. Anyway, a show is about enjoying the experience of live music anyway, not comparing it to the past...at least for me anyway. Also, Ignorance is not wanting to know. So there..
Furthur is a good band.

I don't want to listen to Phil and Bobby cover GD songs, whether it's good, bad or great. That's not ignorant - it's a preference, and it's an honest one.

I'm looking into my crystal ball and I see you collapsed in a corner of my hotel room as the Saturday morning sun is rising above Philly. To the left of me is Soph, running off his gumby lips about some strange alien conspiracy he has dreamt up. Beside him sits WTU with that shit-eating cheshire cat grin, totally oblivious to Soph's ramblings although still willing to entertain him. Meanwhile, Gruppers is racking up the hotel porn bill while judging talent, furiously scribbling notes down on the hotel stationary...... And to think, this is just the first night's damage. :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Probably not. Might work till noon, then drive up and be in Philly by 5, ideally. I'll have to either meet you guys at the hotel or at the garages. There's no "lot" really at the Tower....Well, actually, are you guys leaving out of Richmond? And what time?

But that's Radio City. Most of my tickets came out to 73 with shipping to Canada. Straight up, the Orpheum was 59.50 and the Tower was 62.50. The times they are a changing. But also consider that most artists charge far more than that with their staggered seating prices. At least we have one price for all.

this is some of the best news I have heard in ages. Stellar brother SLimovitch. Stellar. While I caught Furthur last summer here in Canada, it wasn't a "real" show (one set only with a bunch of straights at a blues fest where no one knew who they were, safe rock/blues set list, well played but a little meh in the psychedelic jam department). My last "real" show, two nights of The Other Ones at the Fleet Center in Boston, was fall 2002.

this is some of the best news I have heard in ages. Stellar brother SLimovitch. Stellar. While I caught Furthur last summer here in Canada, it wasn't a "real" show (one set only with a bunch of straights at a blues fest where no one knew who they were, safe rock/blues set list, well played but a little meh in the psychedelic jam department). My last "real" show, two nights of The Other Ones at the Fleet Center in Boston, was fall 2002.

nah, you need not worry :wink:
Ottawa folk are some of the lamest (civil servants and techies). I just didn't feel comfortable plus I wound up getting baked which really didn't help. I've listened to every Furthur show from last summer and last fall and ours, in comparison, was seriously missing the jamzz for the aforementioned reasons. I'm predicting the Orpheum on Friday will be quite different. :banana:
I've noticed the same although I enjoyed the song selection for the most part.

Interview with Russo from dead.net
http://www.dead.net/features/news/furthur-adventures-joe-russo-drum-monster (http://www.dead.net/features/news/furthur-adventures-joe-russo-drum-monster)
QuoteThe Furthur Adventures of Joe Russo, Drum Monster
By Blair Jackson
OK, I admit it: I had never heard of Joe Russo before I saw Furthur for the first time at their debut shows at the Fox Theatre in Oakland in September 2009. Some folks I was dancing near that night explained that he was from the Benevento-Russo Duo. Who? "You know, and he also played in GRAB." What's that?
By the end of those three shows, though, I certainly knew who Joe Russo was. "That guy's a beast," I remember saying to a friend. And that's when he was still sharing the Furthur percussion slot with Jay Lane. By February 2010, Jay had departed to join up with Les Claypool in a new incarnation of Primus (which Jay co-founded) and left Joe as the lone drummer in Furthur. That's when things got really interesting: It turns out the guy is a total drum monster, good at every style the band tackles. If you happened to catch the Furthur Festival in Calaveras last spring and saw Joe handle "King Solomon's Marbles" and the entire "Terrapin" suite with incredible power and precision, tunes like "Mountains of the Moon" and "Sunrise" with a wonderfully gentle passion, and rousing numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "China Cat" and "Dancing in the Streets" with unbridled verve and spirit, you knew he was the real deal. And he's only gotten better as the band as a whole has matured.
Subsequently, I've gone back and checked out Benevento-Russo and learned to appreciate their NY hipster jamband instrumental sound, and also looked in on GRAB, the short-lived group he and keyboardist Marco Benevento formed with Phish's Mike Gordon and Trey Anastasio. Some great stuff there, as well.
But he's knockin' just about everybody's tie-dye socks off with his playing in Furthur, so I figured this would be a good time to have a chat with him. At 34, he's the "pup" of the band (as he says) and his youthful energy is downright infectious. He spoke to me by phone from his digs in Brooklyn the week before the recent Colorado Furthur shows. Very cool guy; you'll like him!
* * *
Tell me how you got into drums.
I started playing drums when I was 8, and back then basically just wanted to be in Kiss.
This is in northern New Jersey.
Right, about 25 miles west of New York City.
Did you ever see Kiss?
Just recently, like a year-and-a-half or two years ago. I went with Dave Dreiwitz, the bass player for Ween. It was amazing!
Was your brother a musician?
No, but my parents had bought him one of those little snare drum-and-cymbal combos back in the '70s, and when I first started wanting to play the drums, I begged my mom to find them in our basement, and I remember busting it out and setting it up. This was a crappy snare drum and a little cymbal coming off the side, and the first thing I played on it was "I Love it Loud," by Kiss, trying to re-create the beat.
Drums are not usually a parental favorite for kids learning music...
No, they're not. I think drums and violin are pretty harsh for parents. Once you get pretty good on them, though, it's usually OK.
At least you had a basement.
Right, and by the time I was 9, my dad got me a used kit. At the time I think I thought it was total garbage — but it was probably some amazing thing I'd pay ten grand for now! [Laughs] My parents were cool. They said, "Show us you're gonna practice and take lessons, and then we'll work out getting you your dream kit."
So you took lessons?
I did. I wasn't a very good student. I wasn't the most prepared student. But I would take away certain things from every lesson. I played with a guy named Sonny Coronado who's this North Jersey swing band drummer, but all I wanted to do was play like Metallica.
What bands were you into back then?
I was big into Motley Crue; loved Crue. Judas Priest, Metallica. Always been a Zeppelin fan, even when I was going through my hard rock phase. I always loved [Zep drummer John] Bonham. He was my guy. Once I understood the smallest amount about drumming, I was trying to figure out what he was doing.
So are you in your basement playing along with records?
Yeah, yeah. My dad had a stereo store and we had this whole "old school" pair of big-ass hi-fi speakers and he had them doctored up to this boom box so I could put my tapes in and play along. It was great! My parents were so supportive and encouraging. My dad would be so psyched when he could go down and rig something up for me so I could play along. I played along to everything — I went through the traditional North Jersey teenager Rush phase, of course.
Neil Peart; he's the man, I guess...
I went through my prog phase... Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes and Rush.
Not my favorite bands, but they're all certainly great players and I can see how it would be valuable to listen to them as a budding musician.
For sure. I think being young and being into that stuff for any instrument helps you develop this technical ability which has served me very well through the years. But I think it's something you might need to grow out of, as well, when you get into more musical things, or things that require some looseness or swing. I remember, now that we're talking about this, getting The Big Chill soundtrack [nearly all Motown hits] and trying to play along to it and I couldn't. I could do 64th notes around all my toms and but I couldn't play a Motown groove right.
Did you have two bass drums?
I did. There's some pretty classic video of me at school band concerts and talent shows where I brought my whole rig down, this giant kit...
Might there be a mullet in a few of those shots?
Oh, I would say probably in all of those shots. Hey, man, I didn't know any better. [Laughs]
But no actual big, teased hair a la Motley Crue or Poison, right? Tell me right now: Did you or did you not ever wear eye-liner onstage?
I don't think I've worn eye-liner. I did try some serious Kiss make-up, of course, a couple of times. And I put glitter on my cymbals on occasion.

Well, that could be cool, I guess. What was your first actual band?
My first band was called Detour. I was in seventh grade and the rest of the guys were in eighth grade and we did classic rock covers — some Zeppelin tunes, some Rush tunes. It was the standard thing of everyone trying to figure out how to play with another person. We'd play the middle school dances and Sweet 16 parties and whatnot. I'm still very close with one of the guys who was in that band, Steve Vidaic. He's now the keyboard player for Citizen Cope. Then the next incarnation, also with Steve, was called Lady Rain, which I didn't realize until about ten years ago was from a Hall & Oates song. The singer for that was Constantine Maroulis [of American Idol and Rock of Ages fame], who went by the name of Dean at the time. It's been really cool seeing him do so well. I'm really proud of him. Steve and I went saw him in Rock of Ages and I got a little weepy. It's exciting to see your buddies succeed.
In later high school when you were in bands, was that considered a cool thing?
Totally! I don't think it could ever be uncool to be in a band. It helped me get into social situations that otherwise were only for the ultra-popular kids or jocks.
When did you first hear that all drummers are crazy?
[Laughs] Fairly young, actually. Maybe 8 or 9. After seeing Animal [of the Muppets] they put a tag on all drummers. He was most people's understanding of what drummers are like.
So in late high school did you have any serious bands where you thought, "Man, we're gonna break out of this old town and go down Highway 9 like Bruce Springsteen"?
Well, Lady Rain was one of the most popular high school bands around, and we did gigs at bars, which was my first experience of that kind of thing. Everyone entertains dreams of grandeur, but it was still basically just a high school band with everyone trying to figure out how to be high school people.
At one point you had planned to go Berklee College of Music but decided not to...
My mom had just died when I turned 18 and I was kind of confused and devastated by that, and my friend Steve [Vidaic] and his girlfriend Melissa, who's now his wife, had moved to Boulder. I was all set to go to Berklee and I'd gone up to visit and everything — I actually ran into Marco Benevento up there, who I hadn't seen in years; we were friends in middle school. But before school was starting I went on a trip to Boulder to see Steve, and I'd never been off the East Coast before...
It's pretty sweet out there!
Oh, my God! There are mountains and beautiful girls and avocados... They didn't have avocados in Jersey! [Laughs] I went out there for ten days, fell in love with it. I think I saw Medeski, Martin & Wood at the Fox there—what the hell is this! It was this whole new world and it made me think that if I experienced that much in ten days, there must be a whole lot more there for me. So I flew home and told my dad I wanted to move to Colorado and he said, "Great!" I moved out there ten days later.
Did you pack your drums in the car and everything?
No, not that time. My dad shipped them out to me a few months later. I was going to go to school in Colorado, but I met this band out there called Fat Mama that was looking for a drummer, and I ended up going and joining that group. So I ended up putting school off for a semester, and that turned into many, many years. [Laughs] We started touring and making records, and I think that was really my first taste of actual professional music — if you can call it that when you're each making five dollars a week. But it was a real band. We were playing a lot of Herbie Hancock tunes and Miles tunes and we did some Crusaders songs. It was very cool, and the guys in that band completely redefined my scope of music. I'd never heard Miles Davis really, especially his '70s stuff; all the crazy shit. So they just kicked my ass. They were all music students.
And I bet your prog rock training suddenly came in handy, right?
It did a bit, but what really happened is that I started to realize how to blend some of the chops I got through my prog and my "quest for perfection," Modern Drummer style, and then realizing how lame that was and realizing that Al Foster [of Miles' '70s bands] is the shit and so were all these other guys who play the hell out of the kit but it isn't this meticulous, pristine bullshit. It shocked my whole system: "Whoa, the drums can be such a beautiful part of a musical situation and conversation." I owe my world to these guys, because it gave me a 180 on what I thought good drumming was all about.
Did you then start getting into jazz drummers from earlier periods, like Art Blakey or Elvin Jones?
Definitely! Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, Blakey, all sorts of great guys. Honestly, when I was with that band, it was almost like a study session 24/7. We ended up living in a house together and they would just put on records: "Listen to this, man!" They schooled me. It kicked my ass in the best way and it also made me nervous as hell because I thought, "I don't play like this. I don't know how to let go like these great drummers." Because I was very contained, and really trying to work within the lines and do it perfectly. So having this other world presented to me really blew my mind, and I recall the night I finally felt I was comfortable in that world it was such a great feeling. We started doing some crazy free shit on this Miles tune we used to do, and I remember I used to feel like I had no idea what to play on it. And this one night, I can picture the club, I had some internal conversation with myself where I said, "It doesn't matter what you play; whatever, nobody's gonna die if it isn't perfect." And I remember this looseness coming over me and I was suddenly playing over time, nothing mattered, and it was this incredible moment for me — this realization of moving through time and not having to be at any certain point and enjoying the freedom you can have. The damn had burst, and from that moment on I've felt free-er and I've been growing in confidence.
What made you move back east?
Fat Mama started touring in '97 and broke up in 2000, and it was a long three years. It was a seven-person band, we didn't make shit for money; it was hard, hard touring. Fun, looking back. We made three records, two of which were live records that were pretty dope — I'm still proud of those. But we got sick of it, basically, and we were all still growing as people and eventually we just needed to get away from each other. We lived in Rhode Island for a little while because one of the guys in the band was going to school at the New England Conservatory in Boston and another guy's family had a place in Rhode Island, and I slept in garage with no heat — which wasn't the first time — and it was like, "I'm over this." [Laughs] So I moved to New York City for the first time and I moved in with this dude Topaz, a pretty popular saxophone player, in the Alphabet City area [Lower East Side].
Lovely neighborhood. I grew up in the suburbs of New York and we were told never to go near Alphabet City.
[Laughs] Good call! It was pretty nasty when I got there and it was probably a lot worse earlier.
How do navigate your way around such a huge music scene and then end up in that jammy Wetlands club world?
There were connections I made through Fat Mama and through touring with other like-minded bands that were dubbed "jam bands," but were more on the jazz or funk side, or what was turning into the early drum 'n bass scene. I just started gigging. I tried to do sub work wherever I could. And I was lucky enough to have some good friends who were able to help me out and plug me in a little bit. I only had a handful of guys I knew in New York, but they introduced me to people and we'd play, and the family gets bigger and bigger. I got very close to Jake Szufnarowski, who used to book Wetlands, and he helped me out tremendously, booking me on anything he could, basically. Then he started doing the Knitting Factory as well. That was my home for a while when the Benevento-Russo Duo started. They had the Tap Bar at that time, which was this tiny bar in the club where they always had free music, and Jake let me play there like three nights a week with different bands. And the one that kind of stuck was the duo with Marco. We had done a few random gigs together in different configurations. So we went in [the Tap Room] with a drum kit and an organ and got 50 bucks each every week and all the Heineken we could drink.
I've always wondered: were you ever hip to Lee Michaels and Frosty, the great organ-drums power duo of the late '60s?
Dude, totally! But not until after we were doing it. It was really funny because people would come down and ask me about Frosty. I'm like, "Who?" So we got turned on to it and it was "Whoa! These guys were great!"
So, Marco and I ended up doing that for ten months [at the Knitting Factory] and it became a place where a lot of heavy guys would come down and check us out or sit in. It was the perfect time to be there. At that point we were looking at doing a tour, and Marco booked us like a ten-date tour across the country — we literally got on Route 80 and played every night and ended up at the High Sierra Music Festival [2003]. It was pretty cool. Then, through our friendships with people like Stanton Moore [of Galactic fame] we started getting opening gigs, because we were the easiest opener to have — two guys, one with a be-bop kit and the other a chopped Hammond organ. Very little equipment. If they wanted us to set up on the floor, we could even do that in front of the stage. It was really easy. Pay us a couple of hundred bucks and we're stoked.
And you were both writing...
At that point we were mainly still doing the improv thing; grooves and that sort of thing.
I would think it would be hard to sustain that for a long time, night after night.
It was hard, and it started getting to me after a while. I mean, Marco was just amazing and we were having a great time, but I was starting to yearn for something else, and after playing with Fat Mama and then getting into the improv Duo thing, I was really missing rock music and also missing songs and composition. Even though jamming was so fun and we definitely had a special connection, something was missing. So I had some songs I had written on guitar for my hopeful future rock bands, and I brought this one to Marco that became "Sunny's Song," which was like our first foray into this instrumental rock kind of thing. We made that work, and then I got this sampler where I would sample some of Marco's single notes and I turned it into essentially a nine-note keyboard for me, and I could play counter-melodies to his melodies and we started adding all this equipment, and then he started writing these great songs and we'd write songs together and it led to another of these periods of self-discovery where we were cranking out these songs. It was combining our instrumental nature and tapping into this thing we were missing, which was songcraft. So we put out our first record and it was awesome!
Earlier, you mentioned Medeski, Martin & Wood. Were they a big influence?
Without wanting them to be, they were. They were incredible, and certainly in our earlier days we were like a poor man's version. We were doing the funky grooves and had the ripping organ player, and though we weren't necessarily hoping to go in that direction, we went that direction. [Laughs] And that was actually another thing that brought on the change we made. Medeski, Martin & Wood were already out there. We were like a louder version, with a similar aesthetic, but maybe a little more of a rock attitude, when we were doing our improv stuff. We'd get into these super-loud punk sections. I went through a John Zorn thing and lots of Naked City [a Zorn band] stuff where it's like Japanese screaming over death metal into swing. [Laughs]
You guys developed a pretty good following there.
We did. It got to be a really nice spot for us and we had some amazing, amazing experiences.
Tell me a little about your period when you and Marco played with Mike Gordon of Phish and then the whole GRAB band with the three of you guys and Trey Anastasio.
The Mike thing kind of came out of nowhere. Marco and I were doing our Duo thing and we'd put out our Best Reason to Buy the Sun record on Ropeadope. Mike had also released an album on Ropeadope [Inside In] and was looking for a touring drummer, so Andy Hurwitz, who was the president of the label at the time, suggested me to Mike. I believe he had come to see us play at this small jazz room in Philadelphia. Then one day I got a call from Mike. I'm like, "Why is Mike Gordon calling me?" Because I was definitely into Phish in high school. I thought, "This is pretty cool!"
Really? You were into Phish? How did you justify that with your other influences?
Well, I went from the hard rock and the metal and the Zeppelin, and in high school your tastes change and you find your hippie friends, so I started getting into Phish, while other friends were getting into the Grateful Dead, which I did not get into at that point. So I went to see Phish a bit. I probably saw 12 shows between '95 and 2000, so I was definitely into them. I loved [drummer] John Fishman's playing and I was also really into their compositions — that Zappa-esque, through-composed stuff. So I had a history with Phish, which is funny because Mike calls me and he's thinking I'm this jazz cat! So I went to his apartment, which was, coincidentally, above the Knitting Factory, and he and I and his friend Jared [Slomoff] got together and jammed and played music. After, we were sitting at his table, and he had no idea I'd ever heard Phish, and he's there trying to describe jamming and Phish to me, and he was so sweet. I was thinking, "I can't tell him I know who he is, that I own Phish records and have seen them numerous times." But he was so cool and so humble in really trying to describe his world to me.
So we played together, but it ends up I don't go out on the road with him. I was actually playing with [keyboardist] Robert Walter at the time — the 20th Congress — and Mike was looking at a couple of others guys at the time, so it didn't work out. That's cool. Let's stay in touch and let's play music again together some time in the future. Awesome. Cool.
So a few months go by, and then HeadCount, the voter registration group, got in touch with me about this benefit show they were putting together, and we were wondering what we could do that would be cool. And I said, "Well, I met Mike Gordon of Phish a while ago." "Whaaaat?" They were very excited. [Laughs] I said, "Maybe he'd be down for doing something with me and Marco." And the guy's like, "Dude, here's the phone, call him right now!" So I called Marco first to see if he was in — "Totally!" This is a guy who used to make his own Phish shirts! [Laughs] And I call Mike and say, "Hey, man, we're doing this thing...would you be into playing like a 40-minute set with us?" He says, "How much rehearsal?" I said, "Absolutely none." He says, "I'm in!" Mike is so chill and laid-back; he's just great!
So we get there and we play and frankly I wasn't expecting it to be anything more than, "Oh, that's neat those guys are playing together." But we ended up having such a great time! We were all saying afterward, "You know, I didn't think it was gonna be so cool!" And that turned into us doing a proper run — The Duo featuring Mike Gordon — and we did a few mini-tours like that. People started calling it GRaB — Gordon, Russo and Benevento.
You'd do some Benevento-Russo material and some Phish stuff?
Yeah, and a couple of random covers. It was really fun and super-playful and I think it was fun for Mike because it was so normal—back to the van and back to the 600-person clubs.
And then you get the large "A" for GRAB... Anastasio.
[Laughs] That's right. The large A calls. This is quite a bit later now, maybe 2006, and Trey had been hearing about Mike playing with Marco and me and he was making a new record and he wanted us to come in and play on two songs. So we went over the Trout Recording in Brooklyn and we did a couple of tunes, and we all got along really well. We did some jamming and it was cool. And then all of a sudden it's like, "Man, we should go into the Mercury Lounge [a hip NYC club] and play!" We're all like, "Yeah, totally!" And then two weeks later we're doing a co-headlining tour with Phil Lesh & Friends playing amphitheaters instead! "OK, that happened." [Laughs] All of a sudden it became this thing. Phish was on hiatus and now two guys from Phish are playing with these two other guys.
Was this the first time you had played with someone who has that public aura around them like Trey does? He has this incredibly devoted following...
Absolutely. We'd had our experiences with Mike, which in itself was eye-opening: "Wow, this dude is famous." But it really was something to behold when we went out with Trey, for sure. We'd be going out for dinner or something, and man, a lot of people know who those guys are! It was cool, though. It was definitely tasting a little bit of that rock 'n' roll dream, you might say. We're playing with Phil & Friends, and those guys were all so nice to us. And Marco and I got to open every night, playing for more people than we ever we'd played for before. We didn't just want to be the guys who were playing with the Phish guys, so we had 30 minutes at the beginning of each show for Marco and me to go out and do our thing, which was incredible. We had the dope tour bus, the whole thing.
The only down side of it, if you can even call it that — and some things I've said about this have been slightly misunderstood, I think — is that before this Marco and I were on a certain trajectory that didn't necessarily need to get bigger than it was. We were happy being this group that was somewhere between an indie band and a jam band. We didn't have much of a stamp, and we were completely in control of our scenario.
You were noted hipsters!
[Laughs] We were doing pretty well. We were maybe selling out 400-person places, and in some markets doing more than that. We were making a good living, we were getting great reviews from the press, we were stoked. The live show was together, the recordings were together... And the unfortunate thing that happened — and this is completely removed from Mike or Trey or Phish and that whole experience — is we released our second record in the midst of this and it completely got lost and under-performed, or whatever.
Because you weren't there to really promote it right.
There was no attention to it, and when we went back a couple of months later and started playing after the GRAB experience, our old crowd suddenly wasn't there as much, and who was there was Phish fans — which was great: "Yeah, come to our shows and check it out!" But they're yelling out Phish songs and asking us why don't we sing and all this stuff. In the end it sort of felt like we'd maybe tried to do too much [by doing the GRAB tour] and maybe we'd lost part of what we were trying to do with the Duo.
In hindsight, though, I can see that we were pretty burned out. I was drinking too much. Marco and I weren't having that much fun playing together. There was this feeling of "We have to keep doing it!" and we did for a while but it wasn't quite the same. When I've talked about this before it's come off to some people that I don't like Trey, which is crazy. I never said that. I loved playing with Trey and Mike. And it was obviously a tremendous opportunity. There just happened to be some collateral damage to the Duo.
So, how did the Furthur thing come about?
Well, we were out with Phil for a lot of that tour in 2006. In the summer of 2009, I get a call from Bob Weir's manager, Matt Busch: "Would you be interested in playing a little with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh? Call me back." It was so out of left field; it was a weird call to get. The Duo had stopped playing in 2008 and I was back to some pickup gigs and doing some odd tours here and there and starting to cultivate some stuff in the UK. But I thought, "OK, let's see what this is about." So I get in touch with Matt Busch, and he asks if I can come out there to the Bay Area for this thing that's happening in September. At the point I thought it was going to be some kind of benefit show. They gave me a list of nine songs to learn. I got off the phone and I was complaining to my lady, "Shit, I have to learn nine songs!" [Laughs]
Then, in between the phone call and what eventually became like an audition, were e-mails back and forth with people in the organization. "Oh, also check out this song and that song." And all of sudden there were 50 songs! [Laughs]
How familiar were you with any of them?
[Laughs] I was not.
You had not been a Dead Head in any way.
That's right. Back to high school, one day I'm wearing my Metallica T-shirt and then all my friends started wearing Steal Your Face t-shirts! But not me. I knew the Dead a little — obviously I was in the stoner group in high school — and they'd sometimes be on in the background. But it isn't where I was at that time. I'd heard "Sugaree" and "Scarlet Begonias" — the obvious classics you can't avoid hearing...
Much as you tried...
Really. It wasn't my thing; I have to be honest.
Back to Furthur. Had you gotten to know Phil at all on the GRAB tour?
Not really. Just to say hello. He was always very nice. At Bonnaroo we played together at the "superjam" — we did "Goin' Down the Road" and "Casey Jones" and I had no idea what to do. "How does this end?" [Laughs] But it worked out pretty well and it was fun. And we played one other time together at the Jammys¬—it was Marco and myself, plus Mike, Les Claypool and Phil.
A basstravaganza!
Exactly. It was a band that didn't have a bass player — Marco and me — now having three!
So anyway, I get this huge list of songs and I'm busy and I'm gigging and doing all these things I'd planned. And I was still confused: What's going on here? And my girlfriend says, "I think it's an audition." "An audition for what? The Dead just toured." So I said, "OK, I'm just gonna learn these songs and not worry about it."
Did they send you Phil & Friends versions or Grateful Dead versions, or what?
They just sent me the titles! So even though I wasn't supposed to tell anybody, I had to go to my closest Dead Head friend, Pete Costello — he's one of those "Oh, yeah, 12/4/72 they played this amazing version of this song" guys — and I asked him to help me get recordings of the songs on the list. And he was psyched, of course! He was aware of my non-involvement with the Dead through the years, so he thought it was hilarious. My friends in high school now are all, "You're playing with who?" They can't believe it. So Pete helped me tremendously, and then I went to iTunes and I tried to get the record version, and then something live from the '70s and something from the '80s. That was a lot of songs to listen to and figure out what things were constant and what things were improvised, what things came and went. I started realizing, "Whoa, they played this as a ballad here, and now it's much faster here." So I tried to pick a version I would learn, and the gamble worked on most of them. There were a couple where I learned the wrong version.
Through this process I started thinking, "Wow, this is some bad-ass stuff!" These songs are really cool! I finally got it! And it took sitting down and actually listening to this music, and having to listen to it on the level of trying to understand what every single instrument's doing to really know the music. "Fuck, this is incredible!" It was a humbling moment when I realized, "I don't know shit about this band." It was something I hadn't given the time of day to before, and now here it was blowing my mind. It was beautiful and complex in ways I didn't think it would be.
So what was the audition like and where was it?
It was at Bobby's studio in Marin. I get in there and the whole band is there, I think.
And, of course, Jay Lane [RatDog drummer] was part of it, too, then.
That's right. I'd known him a little bit from the Duo touring with Les Claypool's band. We weren't super-tight, but it was a great thing to have somebody I knew there. Because, otherwise, I was the guy coming in from not that circle. The singers weren't there yet; it was just the dudes. So we started playing — I think the first one we did was "Playing in the Band" — and it was pretty rockin'; it was cool and really fun.
Had you ever done any extended work with a second drummer?
Not really, no. Fat Mama had a percussionist and I had done some double drummer gigs — some I'd loved some of them I didn't. But playing with Jay was awesome because he's a bad-ass. There was maybe a slightly strange dynamic, because he was Bobby's drummer, but I've gotta say, he saved my ass for a long time in that band because he was so well-versed in it, and I've got cheat sheets all over my kit. [Laughs] It was a lot of material for me to learn.
What sort of cheat sheet does a drummer use?
Essentially what I try to do is write the name of the song on the top, I write the style of the song, and then I write the name of a song it sounds like to me. Like, I think there was one song where I wrote "Son of a Preacher Man groove." I've done this for tons of gigs: "Four bars this happens," or if there's something on a specific lyric — like on "spent a little time on the MOUN-tain," I know I'm gonna hit that a little heavier. Anything I can do. Little reminders.
So we played that day. It was really fun, then we played another day; also really fun. We went through "The Other One," We went through "St. Stephen." We did "The Eleven." We did "Terrapin" — not the full suite. "Unbroken Chain." A lot of the musically involved songs; the stuff with lots of sections: Can we swing doing these hard composition things? And it was pretty good, I've got to say, right away.
Then, after a few days of that, we were informed, "Well, Bob and Phil are interested in doing something [besides The Dead] and they want this to be the band." Cool. All right! And they told us they were doing these shows at the Fox Theatre in Oakland and then we'll probably do a few shows later in the year and next year. Obviously it turned into something much more. It certainly exceeded my expectations by a lot.
How did playing with Phil compare to listening to him? Mike is obviously a fantastic bass player in a different way.
It was really fun. But I will say, I think it's lucky I played with Mike before I played with Phil. Mike has been outspoken on how much he loves Phil's playing, but he doesn't copy him in any way. But it's got some of that flavor. With Phil it's all just super-intuitive and it's really a listening game. It's very playful with Phil. He and I will crack up so many times onstage because we hit the same thing at the same time. It sometimes feels at the time like we're trying to mess with each other, to see how far we can push each other and still hit it, and that's really fun. There was a certain amount of that in the audition process which has developed into this really playful musical friendship, which is such a treat. A lot of it's subtle; sometimes he and I are probably the only ones who know what happened, but we'll be cracking up. It's a great feeling to make that kind of musical connection.
I guess it was at Phil's 70th birthday gig [3/12/10] that we first got an inkling that Jay wasn't going to stick around. There you were alone out there for the last set...
It was little weird, I guess. But I really do believe that everything worked out for the best. Jay is a monster musician, an incredible drummer, and I'm so psyched he's playing with Primus, because I love Primus. I grew up studying Primus — I grew up studying Jay Lane! So I'm happy he's getting to be the monster that he is. It was, frankly, slightly uncomfortable being in the position of being in a role that didn't highlight how brilliant he is. In a sense, he went back home, because he really helped create a lot of that early Primus stuff. He's rockin' it. It's totally cool.
So, how did it feel once you were the only guy out there?
Honestly, pretty good. I'm used to being the only guy out there, so I felt I was able to spread my wings a little more and maybe tap into what I naturally do more than I could when there were two drummers — because you never want to play over your teammate, and I think Jay I were both conscious of being respectful to each other and letting each other shine, as well as working together. I'm sure if we'd gone on together it would've become something totally crushing in a different way, because our intuition was really clicking. But anybody would want more freedom, and that's what I gained, so I got to truly interpret this music on my own: Here's my voice on this.

How was it learning things like "Slipknot!" and the "Terrapin Flyer" stuff, which is fairly written in a sense, but complex — there's a rhythmic tightness there you have to conform to...
That's where I dipped back into my prog. Their material is all over the map. But I've had an experience to match each one — whether it was growing up playing the prog rock stuff that helps me play certain grooves, or playing with my Americana band, American Babies, which helped me play other styles. Or playing with Marco and having to improvise. It's really cool—I feel like it was a lot of life leading up to the moment where I could be involved in playing this kind of music. I learned a million things playing with this great singer-songwriter named Chris Harford at a little club in New Hope, Pennsylvania. I learned how to play a ballad with conviction and leaving space. And I learned X, Y and Z from all these other people.
With "Slipknot!" and that part of "Terrapin," it's tapping into that kind of through-composed, angular, twists-and-turns music I grew up on. And that was one of things that shocked me: I would have loved the Dead if I'd heard songs like that back in the day! "Kings Solomon's Marbles" is another one they sent me before the audition. "This is the Grateful Dead? Holy shit!" They literally would've been my favorite band! [Laughs] But maybe if I had been a fan all that time, I wouldn't have approached this the way I did and maybe I wouldn't have been right for it for some reason. I think it helped that I had done what I did before I got the place in life where I could appreciate this thing and really understand what's going on.
Do your old Dead Head buddies fill you in the on the lore? Do you understand the importance of "St. Stephen" in their history, or understand what "Dark Star" means to people?
For sure. I'm still learning. JK [John Kadlecik] helps a lot. He knows a couple of things about the Dead. [Laughs] In a way, though, it's kind of fun to not be in the know about some things, and just go with it and get that feeling of discovery. I've just been exposed to one of the classic American songbooks at age 32. How cool is that? I just feel so blessed to have gotten the opportunity. The folklore is cool, too, and I like it dripping out a little bit at a time.
At the same time you're sort of developing a repertoire that belongs to this band alone — some of the new songs, covers the Dead didn't do, things like that.
I'd love to see that side of it [new songs] mature even more. I love writing songs and I'd love to someday be in the mix on that. But it has to happen organically.
Write these guys a prog rock instrumental! They could play it.
I won't lie, I'm working on something. If it comes to pass, cool. I love the act of creating, and it's a different side a band has to develop, as well. I feel we've got out improv skill together, we've done our stage stuff together. We can rock out this material. I think songwriting and writing as a band is another skill-set we are in the midst of developing.
What do you notice happening in the band from tour to tour in terms of developing either tightness, or maybe its actually relaxing more that's affecting the music?
The biggest thing is trust. When we were first going I felt like I was being looked at by Bob or Phil on every song—which is fair; we had just started. Now it feels like the trust is there and it really opens up that door I was talking about earlier—I can play whatever I want and nobody's gonna die! So, trusting myself and trusting them and realizing that if I fall on my face for second, who cares? It's better to go for it. I love that they appreciate that idea, and are actually from that idea. Like putting yourself in uncomfortable situations for the excitement of getting out of them—sometimes you fall on your face, and sometimes you do things you never ever, ever dreamed of doing, and that's the pay-off.
Is it hard to listen to everyone at once? That's part of the Grateful Dead skill-set.
I pride myself on my listening ability. That's something I look for in the people I play with; that's the way I enjoy music—hearing the interplay between the instruments. I have to say, I have such a blast listening to Jeff [Chimenti]. He's great, and he makes me feel very comfortable and very at home in the way he plays, because I think we come from a similar place. At the audition, he soothed me by saying he had never really never checked out the Dead before he started playing with Bob. And also, I think I'm in tune with that instrument from having played with Marco all those years. Jeff definitely sparks a lot of things for me, so even if everyone is playing at the same volume, he might be a notch above in my consciousness.
What are some of your favorite songs to play?
God, there are so many. Definitely the ballads—I love playing at a whisper volume in an arena. "Comes a Time." "Must've Been the Roses." I love "Row Jimmy," which I think we've only done twice. That's one of my favorite songs by anybody. And then it's always really fun to do things like "Help on the Way." I love playing "Touch of Grey," which is a legendary song. It's just fun. It depends on the night, on the mood and the song we played before it. They all can be a favorite song on a given night.
Do you think you'd ever incorporate electronics in your setup?
I have with other bands, but I really wouldn't want to in this. It just feels weird to me.
Mickey did it!
I know. I play electronic music when I'm not playing with these guys, and I feel like there are certain places for certain things, and I personally don't hear that with this music; that's just my take on it.
What's it been like seeing this level of fan appreciation?
It's cool. There's nothing like it. It's overwhelming. It's astounding. Sometimes it's kind of funny, but not in a bad way. You see four generations of people at a concert and it's a trip!
That must have been something playing Madison Square Garden.
It was incredible. It's hard to even say what it meant to me.
It's what northern New Jersey kid would dream of.
Absolutely. I walked into the building with my fiance for sound check and I started crying. I thought, "This is ridiculous!" It's where I came with my parents to see Ranger games. It's where I saw concerts. This is the Holy Grail that wasn't supposed to be touched. I always wanted it, but never expected it. So to have that happen and to have it happen with this band, which is this whole other extreme of musical legend... and to have all of my family there and my best friends—all the people who had seen me homeless and broke and stealing Ramen noodles from the grocery store—to be in that audience, and then be surrounded, literally, with these fans giving the most incredible energy I've ever felt... It was completely overwhelming. I found myself tearing up quite a bit, especially that first night. It was unreal.
So, where do you see this going? I know Phil is famously not into looking down the road too far...
I honestly have no idea. I know we're planning to play a lot of shows this year and I'm really excited about that. I can't believe that over a year has passed from the inception of this—it's been a total whirlwind. It keeps me on my toes. I just hope it stays being something that feels really great and creative. And I love that the team is into finding cool places to play and keeping the ticket prices down and using smaller promoters. I'm excited to see what happens. I'm really looking forward to this tour coming up and the fact that we're playing multiple nights in smaller places, which means we're going to have to really dig into the material. There are a number of songs we haven't done on the last couple of tours that I love. I'm stoked!
^ cool interview, thanks for posting.
Really enjoyed the bit about him and Phil's communication on stage, his attitude towards what Furthur is doing has me very pumped for hampton!
cool interview...

I originally had planned to make all 3 of these shows, but my band ended up booking gigs all weekend. Pretty bummed to be missing Furthur in my own town but psyched to be playing some parties with my band so... can't complain to much. At least I get Philly!
We're playing a "Furthur After Party" at my place on Saturday! Come rage! :wtu:

Scottie, I'm going to drop off all (yours, Soph's, and McGrupper's) Philly tickets with you this weekend in Boston. That way you guys have them stateside in the event something happens to me. I was going to mail them to Soph but after a hard drive got lost in the mail, I don't trust the mail with that many tickets. Expect a call sometime tomorrow or Saturday.....and I might rage a little with you.

gotta hand it to Dirty D, aka Superfreakie for all the sincere offers of tix, rides, money, hookers, dr00gs, etc in order to get people to these shows! :clap:
Yup. It almost makes up for him being Canadian
almost.
the rest of the Canadian contingent needs to come up and do the same before we give their country a pass

Gotta one up SF :evil:
Pretty sure that was a typical Tuesday for me a few nights ago.
Looking for 2 at MSG for Sunday the 13th. Anyone got any extras?
Loads of fun last night. Finally got to meet SF and he lived up to expectations. He'll be a welcome addition to shows in the North East. RedRum, MB and Friend (Katy?) joined us in the 5th row for set II.
Bobby was having a bit of trouble with lyrics through out the night (I think he missed a couple verses in Promised Land), but other than that , no major complaints. Set II was just a great jam. Wish I could join you guys in Philly.

One set of my Tower tickets were shipped and received three weeks ago from frontgate, the company that handled the pre-sale. Supposedly they fucked up a lot of orders. I'd send them an email.

I would argue that any show by the GD, P & F, Ratdog, and Furthur is in some way a tribute to Bear.
that said, I would look for tunes from Bear's choice
"Katie Mae" (Lightnin' Hopkins) – 4:44
"Dark Hollow" (Bill Browning) – 3:52
"I've Been All Around This World" (traditional) – 4:18
"Wake Up Little Susie" (Felice and Boudleaux Bryant) – 2:31
"Black Peter" (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) – 7:27
"Smokestack Lightning" (Howlin' Wolf) – 17:59
"Hard to Handle" (Allen Jones, Al Bell, and Otis Redding) – 6:15

They're playing Abbey Road right now, btw.
All of it, as foretold.
yep. And judging by the setlist and the fact that there is the fairfax show on the 17th......we're going to get the goods at the Tower. For sure we are getting the STAR on Saturday night. Hopefully it is a cryptical.....star....other....ou3gby4f3q3phufwefi hrwafpiwhbfvwerc jam.

Personally, I think Saturday is going to be the better night, as in the dark star night. So far on this tour, Dark Star has dropped on a Sunday and a Friday...so we are missing Saturday. With the full moon and all on this Saturday, for sure they are bringing the freaky deaky that night.

Both the Friday and Saturday night tickets could be tough tickets, so it could be easy to finagle a trade. However, I think you are best to go in Friday and then try to get a ticket for Saturday and we all kick you down 10$ which could probably get you in for Saturday. I'm not so sure I'm feeling this miss one night thing. As if you just ate a Gordon ticket. You fail at tickets.

:hereitisyousentimentalbastard
The mike thing was definitely a fail. Not in regards to the ticket though - more just transportation and planning.
Oh, and no need to kick me down any money. Thanks for offering though.
Btw, I'm really psyched for this weekend :beerbang:

The Patriot Center is the arena for George Mason University.
It's two miles from where I lived in high school and the room where
a) I saw my first Phish show
b) I last saw Phil
But it's 40miles from my house and I ride a 5:10 train the next morning to get to work...

Home by 1am sounds great until you figure that I need to be showered and leaving my house again by 5am.
4 hours of sleep does suck, but it would be worth it. And it's just enduring one long day of work on a Friday.

FUCK. I need some collective brainstorming here. I just found out I have to fire some at 5pm EST tomorrow. My original plan was to drive to Richmond tonight. No way out of this firing too. I asked about having HR do it, and our HR guy is off tomorrow. He's prepping all of the paper work for me today. How the fuck do I make Philly work? Help me Paugers.

Do it over the phone. I've done it. SHitty yeah, but if dude is being fired, it is because he in turn did something shitty towards the company. If it was a lay off, then that would be different, you need to show some sympathy. But in this case, his ass ain't worth fucking your shit up.
My pops is going to the Fairfax show tonight. Super jealous, especially seeing as I'll be staying in to study for an exam :frustrated:

The fucked up part now is my company is trying to "swing" it as a lay off instead of a firing. I dunno. I'm still in limbo on how we will do it. I've been told I need to be able to perform the firing/lay off either way (so I have been prepping for either possibility all day) and I will be informed as soon as they choose which way to go. We're also letting go 14 other people tomorrow. I also had to write two other people up today. Needless to say, today has fucking sucked.

1. Fire dudemeister
2. Ingest 6-8 hits of strong acid
3. Start hauling ass up I-85

I'd say so.
Okay. It's official. No way out of this. I'd say I partially fucked myself here by planning to call in sick rather than take a vacation day. :frustrated: I have to fire this guy at 5 tomorrow, and I will be interviewing 3 temp workers tomorrow throughout the day, one of whom I will hire to replace the fired dude.
George is suggesting I come for just Saturday. Though that would be pretty rough, especially if I stayed up all night Saturday raging. I'm thinking about it, but at the same time, I don't want to show up to work sleepless and still kind of tripped out. It would be one thing if I didn't have to interact with people, but my whole job is interactions, and I really don't want to draw any unnecessary attention to myself.
Damn. A solo trek isn't financially feasible. I just looked. It's 1600 miles round trip. That's around $300 in gas with my car. I was budgeting $400 for this run total. Add food, ticket, hotel, booze, and party favors, and it all adds up really quick. :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:
Scott's PISSED!

While I am really sad and bummed at the moment, I can't help but laugh my ass off at this line which was said to me this morning in a phone call with George.
Every time I cry a lazer tear - a cute hippie ferry chick dies :cry:

Success! :wtu:
This is SF haxoring gruppers acct. - yesterday fail was incredibly strong, but we were able surmount most difficulties. First time I have seen a GD related event sober.....in over 200 shows (phil, Bobby, JGB, GD). Lost wallet second set. Speeding tickets out the ying yang (3). People bailing (3). WTU and Gruppers arriving after missing the first songs of the first set (3) as they had to sell a ticket........and on and on. This only means that tonight will have to be off the charts. Oh and Bobby 3.0'd us with Hard Rains gonna fall in the second set...he might as well of played Alaska or Joy. At least they would of been shorter. Dark Star tonight.

Oh and Bobby 3.0'd us with Hard Rains gonna fall in the second set...he might as well of played Alaska or Joy. At least they would of been shorter. Dark Star tonight.
damn sounds like it's been a crazy couple of days for you, hope tonight makes it all worthwhile for you!
3 speeding tickets? all at once?
They're going to ship you back NORTH, troublemaker!
yeah that story begs expounding.
Can't wait for tonight. Last night was fun, but I'm hoping for some ser jamz tonight.

This is SF writing - well, need not expound, here is what the police officer wrote (typed) on my first speeding ticket down to New York City. WTU and Gruppers can confirm this as they have read it. Here it is quoted in all its beauty:
QuoteIN LEFT LANE FLYING THROUGH TRAFFIC - VISUAL 95MPH, LASER CONFIRMATION 89MPH - MOVED TO CTR LN W/O SIGNAL - BACK TO LEFT LANE W/O SIGNAL - CONTINUED FLYING THROUGH TRAFFIC - TOP OF HILL BACK TO CTR, THEN STRADDLING LINES WITH CTR LANE - FAILED TO STAY IN ANY SINGLE LANE FOR EXTENDED PERIOD. FINALLY SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER PROPERLY
When the cop walked up to the window he classically exclaimed "driving is not a video game son, but that was impressive". Asked why I was driving so fast, I declared that I had a hot date in New York City and was late. He said he understood and dropped my ticket to 69mph in a 65mph (all this confirmed by WTU and Gruppers). Needless to say, I wasn't so fortunate with the next cop 30 minutes later, a militant lesbian, who told me that "no one drives like that through my section of town and gets away with it". Yada yada.......700$ in tickets.

what has the ticket situation been like before shows?
Great shows - had a blast with WTU, SF, and Danje.

I think the name fits them perfectly. The music is going Furthur. And that's what they do. They pay tribute to the original incarnation but also do things their own way, which is what I love.

And it is interesting what Emayphishymd says about Passenger too-- there are a couple of songs, like Passenger and Golden Road, where consistently Fake Jerry goes in to machine gun Trey mode. Songs like Stella Blue and such, he is almost note for note Jerry, but there are a couple songs where he 100% apes Trey's style. The Trey-type playing songs are actually the one s that get me moving way more than when he's doing the Jerry thing. It's sweet though. It's like he has a Jerry switch and a Trey switch on his guitar....There are very few songs where he uses both styles (maybe Viola Lee).....for the most part, he is all JG

------------------------------------------------------------------
after sleeping in til after noon, me and the mrs headed out of her long island abode in search of the sound...
We found a sweet spot to park only1 block east of radio city music hall in front of st. patricks cathedral.
The scene was typical NYC scene, but overall the city seemed quiet even for a sunday.
Most of the heads before the show seemed very pleased with the previous nite's offerings.
Personally i went into the show with about as little expectations as one would think possible.
I really like Radio city Music Hall, not a bad seat in the house type of place. Tonight we we're in the 3rd-top balcony and sat on the rail after some less daring folks traded for our back row tickets--UPGRADE! about dead center on the rail, great view!
Anyway, on to the music.
Excellent opener. SAMSON for Sunday night.Tthey really slammed into this one right out of the gates and i was impressed.
The stage was SET and this show was ready to rumble!
then, hmmm..? not a dead song, but...n-iiiiicce--Chest Fever! -- Enter LARRY CAMPBELL FTW! At this point the fella next to me told me that the previous night he had been in Woodstock chillin @ Levon Helms place and witnessed a whole jam session involving Campbell sitting in on various instruments who my friend from the show thought was amazing.
ok, good start, but things really went up when elvis costello joined the crew. i wasnt sure how it would sound with Costello, but hein fit perfectly, and his vocals were amazingly sublime and honestly humble . His presence along with campbells' fiddle really seemed to inspire the entire bands first set performance . From there on the first set was a rock solid , melodious affair with Elvis taking the lead.
Many golden nuggets in this succinct 1st set, but i think my top picks would have to be the SHIP OF FOOLS> ROSES> SHIP OF FOOLS medley , and then the RIPPLE the only possible pick for a perfect RCMH set closer!
one set down. VERY happy slim
i had glimpsed at the previous night's song lists, and had seen the 'big' ones they'd dropped already, so i was interested to see the direction we were headed in for the second set.
one thing that i really enjoyed about this show was the very Traditional 1st and 2nd set vibes that were seemingly established with perfection tonight.
so, second set opener should be a interesting pick, and it was:
Throwin' Stones to open the 2nd set--SLIM APPROVES! yet again bobby powerhouse pick to open the set.
good times, but now the Bus would now have to decide which way to travel down the perverbial second set road.... take a left? or right? --or better yet, how about just following the SUNRISE!!--this really caught me off guard, but man oh MAN did it deliver! Teressa just plain killed it!!
thereafter the set turned into a thing of beauty, and some SERIOUS jamming of epic proportions.
the st stephen>WBOTB> eleven was ruthless. needs to be heard. i cant begin to detail its emensity.
there onward i think i only managed to catch my breath once or twice. just unrelenting kickassedness.
every song in the second set and encores just seemed to slide perfectly into its respective slot.
i loved every minute of it. i also had called abunch of these songs for the last month. i really had a bunch of tunes in my head going into the show.
Morning Dew was a lock ,and during the show it was songs like ,ripple CHAIN, Dew, and ATTICs that just seemed synchronistic and so lovingly delivered for me, this being one of my only 'dead' shows in years, and quite possibly my last.
sorry thats not much of a review , esp of the second set, but im tired now and my brain is hurting trying to convey the brilliance of this show.
definitely the best musical performance ive seen in the last five years, from any band...
WOW!!!
Crazy looking second set.
Stoked to hear the first-hand thumbs up from Slim for both sets. I can't wait to hear this.
WBOTB was melting faces, lol. unfortunately not the face of the uber paranoid taperguy sitting next to us that couldnt stop reminding us about the safety of his stealth rig... :roll: real weird crowd. some cool peeps, but most seemed pretty taxed from the previous nights of partying and were slightly bugged out. NYC show lightweights. :tte:
the band on the other hand was in rare form. wow. just plain wow. epic phil, bobby, friggin elvis costello representinin! larry C, wow, sick sick band. i havent heard phil and bobbby jam like that in almost 20 years. pretty hardcore in spots and just plain lovely in others. attics and ripple were really moving. you could throw in chain with that as well, and i guess half the other songs. --
This was totally a SLIM show. i had a feeling id be getting "my" songs and i got a lot that i was 'thinking' about.
crazy thing too, i think this was the first post jerry show that didnt really make me 'dwell' on jerry not being there. they were THAT good, imo.
--until DAys between, which unless you never saw jerry do it then maybe, but i dont know how im not supposed to think about jerry with that as an encore. i actually hit the restroom for half of it.

I think I'm more happy that you loved the show than anything else...
show sounds totally awesome
glad you got your mind blown, Slim
this is one I'm definitely going to seek out
thanks fellas! it was just mint little show. nothing i could have expected, and therefore all the more fun! i actually was pretty dern sober too. everything just felt smooth. my friend who was endulging jus a tad more than me actually kept telling me that she felt a "mellow" vibe in a totally awesome sort of way. i guess more than she figured going in.
me, i was pretty mellow, but not when it came to gettin into the music. i really was just buzzed enough to keep 100% on the tip of the band's juju.
they really had a grreat synergy going. no one was overbearing. not at all. this surprised me i guess, especially with Elvis C in the mix. he seems to me to usually be more dominant of personality or something. and like i said b4 his imprint (and campbells) on the first sset was indelable, but sublime at the same time. the short setlist was actually excentuated by the precise and appropox song selection. how about that ship of fools>roses>SoF thing? just perfection in motion.
like i mentioned before a lot of synchronistic song selection for me. a few more personally noteable examples would be the choices that appeared on the show i put in for the drive. it seemed to be right along the mood for my entire trip. i found an extra copy to give maria since i had 2 and knew it was one of her favs from the past:( 1st set) of 6-29-76. tenn jed, cassidy, samson, wheel, st stephen, all present from that one.
not to get carried away, but im just enjoying sharing my thoughts... to continue on the topicof last nite's song picks, i'll also add that morning dew was a given to be played for ME! Dew is always the closer for a BIG show for me. it just felt like i wa headed there all night. Furthermore, ATTICS. i even knew the encores were headed to it. i didnt even get nervous as i didnt reallywant to have fever or DAys end it, but it just was another given to hear the attics. man was it tight too. along with sunrise 2 songs with great vocal harmonies... come to think of it there are a bunch in this show: roses, tenn jed, etcetcetc.
---E costello? i would have never thunk it. if u had told me last week this was the show i was goin to see, heh, i mighta stayed in neb, seriously, but i couldnt have been more wrong. he really was perfect. made me happy to hear the band. no lies.
...and how about that WBOTB?!!!! :-) :wink: ser. tho it was crazy. real slowed down too, the guys around me couldnt even figure out what they wer playing... it was like a serious 2nd set phish jam where everyone gets teh "what song are they playing?" syndrome. lol excellente!--- and then >the eleven! i dotn think any1 even could remmebr WBOTB coming out of st stephen, lulz, i know i had forgotten by that point.
kk, i'll call it a day on the PS babbleZ. hope to cyall reall soon.
"--NEVER HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME!!! " :banana: :syf:
I read the second set on my twitter feed on the train this morning so it was one song at a time and, when I got to WBOTB, I nearly jumped up from my seat.
Crazy selection, that.

i already dled this on my girls laptop and were up to cassidy! wooooo!!!!!!! wow, im really blown away by these guys. what a SICK 1st set. reminds me of the boys from the late 80s, early 90s. i think if i had to nitpick the drumer is my least fav, but not really in any sort of bad way. i honestly 100% dig the new guitarist the most of any of the ones theyv had b4, just b/c he fits in so perfect wit bobby and phil that it allows them to shine the most.-- and teh keyys are smashin!! and elvis? :-o :-D 8-) from tenn jed>the end of the set im obsessed with how great this sounds. omg i cant wait ot hear teh 2nd! what a contrast it will bring!
BTW BOBBY sounds phenominal on guitar! he really is on his game more than ive heard in decades!!

Check my posts at LL in the Furthur Goings On thread, I've been saying this for some time. Bobby is fucking slaying shit again. And some of the effects he's pulling out are freakin' bezongy. By the way, that thread could use some of your input. Here:

No on the extras. Actually, I don't think any of us have tickets yet. Pretty sure everyone was hoping to find something there, but at worse, just walk up to the box office for a ticket. It isn't, and likely won't, sell out. At least, it didn't last year.

I like night one. The first set can be a little indulging at times (the intro jam with just Phil and Bob), and I also wasn't really keen on keeping fake Jerry off the mic, he should of sang more of the songs in the first set. Set two was much better and flowed really well. Fake Jerry seemed to be comfortable with himself, and he had a few soaring leads (Althea and FOTM). I really liked the segues in this show, it was cool to not have the usual dissolving to start a new song, but to have an actual segue. I think if they continue to improve they could really be on to something. I would catch a few shows if they toured my way.
^^^
got a good laugh out of that.
fortunately, I haven't seen anything that I regret (yet).
listened to set 1, 3/27 last night. Elvis sounded good with them
Nice version of Ripple, although when it came on my wife and I looked at each other, acknowledging the obvious missing piece.
I think we need to note that RJ 180'd on these guys. On page 1 he rips the shit out of them, and now he's posting mad links and setlist updates. :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
From the two shows I saw them play this summer in Philly compared to the two I saw last week, they have really come a ways.

Agreed. At first, I didn't have much hope for these guys. I thought it was just gonna be another phil/bobby project covering GD songs, but they have really come a long ways, and have actually been exploring new territory. I'm really digging what these guys are doing as of late.

:?
I just meant that I'm surprised by the route that they are taking in their music, and that it's not just another GD incarnation, but something completely fresh, and that I was not expecting that at all.
I'm sure they practice, and take their music and role seriously and all that jazz. That's not what I was talking about though. I was just stating that I am surprised that they aren't playing typical run-of-the-mill setlists, they are playing new/different songs, etc, and that I am very impressed and my expectations were more than met.

QuoteWe're saddened to report that a 19-year-old man died early this morning from injuries sustained after falling through a fourth-floor window of the Petersen Events Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh during last night's Furthur concert according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
As per the article, one witness said McDonald, PA resident Joseph Kimutis "appeared to have gotten into a three-point stance, 'like a football player,' yelled 'Hike!' and charged the window."
No word yet on Kimutis' physical and mental state leading up to the incident and toxicology reports are pending. The concert went on as planned. Furthur next performs tomorrow night at the Hampton Coliseum.

Shit. That is really sad news. Vibes to his family and friends.
that was messed up. I walked over and there were people starting to group around the windows and a heavy police presence. I saw a girl who was pretty hysterical crying her eyes out (she watched the dude smash through the window). Then I saw the hole in the window and someone had told me what just happened. I guess the dude was at the concert with his father. really sad. I'm sure the kid really didn't know exactly what he was doing and paid dearly for it
about the music though, it was great. Both sets were amazing but the 2nd really sounded good. Very glad that I decided to go

Koons suing Kadlicek
got this from LL
Quotehttp://rom the Marin Free Press
April 1, 2011
Debra Koons , widow of the late Grateful Dead founder and lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, and Executor of his Estate, today leveled charges of Grand Larceny against John Kadlicek, guitarist in the Grateful Dead "tribute band" Furthur, alleging that Kadlicek has stolen all of Garcia's licks.
"It's horrible", said Koons. "He's taken every note, phrase, and riff that Jerry spent his life creating, and without my permission, no less. Everything he plays, he has stolen from Jerry".
Furthur is a Grateful Dead "clone band" that actually includes two original lifetime members of the Grateful Dead, bassist Phil Lesh and rhythm guitarist Bob Weir. Kadlicek had been fronting his own Grateful Dead "clone band", the Dark Star Orchestra, for many years when he was hired by Lesh and Weir to fill the "Garcia slot" of lead guitarist in Furthur.
Hiring Kadlicek enabled Lesh and Weir to once again rehash the entire Grateful Dead repertoire of material in concert, thus enabling them to avoid actually having to write and learn any new and original material.
In his defense, Kadlicek said, "I didn't steal the licks, I am just borrowing them. Also, I am not keeping them for myself, but distributing them to needy, starving Deadheads everywhere".
Koons , not mollified by Kadlicek's explanation, saved some of her strongest criticism for Lesh and Weir, who she is contemplating indicting as accomplices and co-conspirators to the theft. "Mickey Hart was right", she said of Lesh, "he really must have been given the liver of a jerk. And as for Weir, well, he's always been a nice guy, but come on, I mean, he even forgets more lyrics than Jerry ever did, if you get my drift. I guess he needed another lead guitarist to diddle along behind".
Lesh and Weir issued the following statement through their new publicist, the actor William H. Macy, who they hired to impersonate longtime Grateful Dead publicist Dennis McNally; "It's not our fault. We can't tell the difference. For the last fifteen, twenty years of the Grateful Dead, Jerry didn't play any original new licks either. Not only can't we tell the difference, but our fans can't either, apparently".
Lesh and Weir have also enlisted the services of actor and ex-Digger Peter Coyote to pretend to be their defense attorney.
Koons is also reportedly considering bringing additional charges against Kadlicek for appropriating Garcia's vocal inflections, facial expressions, and posture. "Steal your face?", she exclaimed – "Steal your life, more like"!
For his part, Kadlicek denies persistent rumors that at the end of the current Furthur tour he will be undergoing surgery to remove the top two joints of the middle finger of his right hand. He also states that he will not be attending art school, designing neckties, learning to scuba dive, or fronting a bluegrass band. Whether he intends to balloon to more than three hundred pounds and use heroin, however, remain open issues.
If convicted on all charges, Kadlicek faces being sentenced to five to ten years playing in Weir's band, Ratdog. He would also be demoted from his position in Furthur back down to Dark Star Orchestra, or possibly all the way to the Donna Jean Godchaux Band, two bands whose own Garcia-clone guitarist, Jeff Mattson, would be elevated to the position in Furthur.
Jerry Garcia could not be reached for comment.
for those of you who thought the dime story was serious, please notice publication date
HAHAHAHA!!!!! Demoted to play in Donna's Band.
Ridiculous show last night! So much fun...meet up with the king of JBCs, and the queen of pop....good times! more later....the head is still aching.... :cry:

Me and the lady raged the hell out of that show last night. I also realized that Bobby can be really scary when you're on LSD.
Lots of good times with the queen of pop, and ran into GAH for a bit as well.
At one point during the 2nd set, my girl and I thought they were blowing glitter into the coliseum through some air vents up in the ceiling.
We realized shortly after that there was no glitter anywhere...
Anyway, as for the music, we got into the show a little bit late, so the first set seemed super short. Octopus's garden was awesome. I liked the 2nd set a lot better, and He's Gone, China Cat, Uncle John's and Shakedown all had sweet little jams. Can't wait to re-listen to that 2nd set.
We were originally going to stay in Hampton last night, but decided to say fuck it and drove back to Richmond. The drive back scarily reminded me of that atari game, night driver. It was awesome.

these guys werent so sure: http://week4paug.net/index.php?topic=13339.msg317711#msg317711
but seriously....
I think Furthur might be a better band than Phish right now, as far as putting on a professional live performance. It's very clear to me that these dudes have rehearsed a LOT. I didn't hear any screw-ups, missed cues, or wrong notes. Every segue I've heard Furthur execute was smooth as butter. While I'd still probably rather be at a Phish show, I couldn't say all of those things about Phish as a band
The dudes are
professionals.
Coulda just been this though:

Pretty much my exact thoughts during and after the show. I knew I was seeing a higher caliber performance, and they clearly practice a ton. I'll have to listen again as I forget which one, but there was only one jam where they started to lose me but they just slowed down as a group, got it back together, and went off in a new direction all in a matter of seconds. The only other kind of abrupt moment was the good lovin'>fool in the rain tease, but that seemed to be intentional. That fucking april fool's joke...

Giving 4/3 a listen now. John should be singing West LA, not Bobby - which can be said for a lot of Jerry tunes.

I was just thinking about my last show--04-02. Great show. Kinda weird moment though in Dire Wolf when Bobby looked right at me and made intense eye contact right after the "please don't murder me" line. Think I scare him or something?!

You think my avatar is scary I guess. Well I don't really resemble that actually. I know it probably didn't mean anything, but why did he have to look at me then? Oh well, shows were sweet.

I recall something about you saying that Trey looks at you every show you're at... could it just be you?
At MPP1 last year, I was SURE trey was staring at me during most of the first set.
But after the show, I realized it was the liquid talking in my head.

No, no. I wrote about a dream I had that Trey was in. And I have had moments of recognition from Bobby and all the band members before actually. It was just sort of weird timing I guess.
Looks like they just announced their summer tour in July.

Hey I didn't have any other CHOICE! It was a good mix and good high quality video. At the very end it switched from HD to regular because of my connection but that's alright.

Yesterday I saw an ad in the local alt-weekly for Further's show on 7/29 at the Charter Amphitheater in Simpsonville, SC, 90 miles away. I thought, hmm, that's close... I like Dead tunes... even GD cover bands... maybe I'll look into this.
I just went to the Ticketmaster site and holy smokes... $70+ after fees for reserved seats?? Can Further even command those kind of prices?
Is anyone going to this show?

I'm not goin to that one but I paid around $70 after fees for the hampton show and, imo, it was worth it. I wouldn't see a ton of shows at that price, but it was a very awesome / worthwhile show imo. Plus you can usually find a cheaper lot ticket for these shows.

LOVED IT!!!
My first love is The Dead so it was pretty surreal to hear LIVE Shakedown Street, among others, that night. ;D I feel like they really just flowed the whole night and there was such an ease to their playing that it made it feel like I wasn't in a huge amphitheater but that I was at more of an intimate show. I walked out wanting more which I think is a good thing.
I will definitely catch them again and again and....

Had tons of
fun tonight. Got to kick it w/ sMILEy for a bit and ran into a bunch of other friends I had hoped to see.
It was almost weird for me seeing Furthur @ Great Woods as I had only previously seen Phish shows there.... much different vibe of course -- pretty spacious, I'd say only abut 70% full or so. I had no problem getting up into the pavilion w/ only a lawn ticket for the second set.
The music was pretty underwhelming, but I didn't expect much more going into the show. Some fun jams in the second set but nothing that blew me away -- more than anything, it was humbling to be in the presence of Phil and Bobby playing music together. I love those guys and being able to see them together is really something special.
dude, you are supposed to say how it melted your brain way more than phish ever has.
these nearly dead old men playing 40 year old songs with a coupla young guys are not a nostalgia act!

It's difficult to gauge the awesome when every song doesn't follow the RAWK peaK format. I know, if isn't getting louder, how am I suppose to know how fucking awesome it is?

It's true....last I heard its something about playing the song within the basic structure, but getting louder and calling that getting "deeper in the jam".
So I had a chance to see my first Furthur show last night and well......I was not completely impressed.
I will start by saying that GD songs are not my forte, obviously I my ears gravitate towards :phish:
First set was seriously lackluster IMO
Second set though, second set I didn't hate. I was nice to see them go into fire...you can never go wrong there, and yes, there were some very good jams. I don't mean to completely hate because it is great to see bobby and phil onstage together, but anyone thinking this is more than a nostalgia act is fooling themselves.
On a side, I did enjoy the lower turn out, there was dance room everywhere you went!
man, you guys don't even know hwo to HATE right.
just say it sucked but the droogz were good.
The Dead never played the complete Terrapin suite, Furthur does. KSM, Unbroken Chain, no drumz -> space, actual jamming. Yeah, real nostalgia. :roll:
Furthur is taking the Dead's music in a direction it has never gone before, how is that reverting back to the days of yesteryear? Explain.
What boggles my mind is liking Phish songs more than Dead songs.

Furthur is taking the Dead's music in a direction it has never gone before, how is that reverting back to the days of yesteryear? Explain.
Gotta agree with Sophist here, I'm a phish 3.0 fluffer because i still love the music they play and have fun, but they are obviously nostalgia. "The Dead" (as in the post-Jerry tours under that name), especially what I was with Warren Haynes, was pure nostalgia in that the songs were fairly stale and didn't really get out there. Furthur is a different beast to me. They aren't their own cover band, they are reinterpreting their old music. I'm not saying Furthur is the best band EVAH, but they are certainly making fresh music, which is what it's all about.

The show I saw last night showcased nothing new in terms of jamming. Was just another Dead incarnation really. Felt like it was way more "solos" than "jamming".
I will say, they were super tight as a band, very well rehearsed and almost no noticeable flubbage by anyone.
Also, last night solidified my distaste for Russo, especially in the Dead setting so that could be part of it....

As a former drummer, I will echo WTU's sentiments. After listening to a fair amount of Furthur, I find he is too in the pocket. Too heavy. And as we have discussed elsewhere and McGrupp/Wtu/me in Philly, really hard on the downbeat with the bass drum. As a result, I find the exploration to be pinned down when I feel they could benefit from some looseness. I'd love to hear them with someone like Billy Martin. Just imagine the space they could venture into then.

My sentiments
exactly. His playing style is just not conducive to the Dead sound, imo. Like SF said, I feel like he held the jams within a box. He's kind of the anti-Kreutzmann. Also, he doesn't really play anything faster than 8th notes.... it's just a lot of single strokes and paradiddles orchestrated around the drum set.... not entirely easy to do but his fills were rarely impressive.
Molo had a similar 'hard hitting' style but was so much more explorative with his playing and had the latin/jazz chops to back it up.

Yeah, besides, when I go to Furthur shows I have a lot of fun....
But, personally I like Russo a lot more than Molo. I always thought Molo was too heavy of a hitter. Russo is a little bit too, but I like his energy. They would really benefit though from someone with a little bit more finesse and I would love to see a jazzier drummer in there too.....Fishman would pwn....

I think Russo does a really good job of sounding like 2 drummers. Hard to deny that the dude is a hell of a player...

Had tons of fun tonight. Got to kick it w/ sMILEy for a bit and ran into a bunch of other friends I had hoped to see.
It was almost weird for me seeing Furthur @ Great Woods as I had only previously seen Phish shows there.... much different vibe of course -- pretty spacious, I'd say only abut 70% full or so. I had no problem getting up into the pavilion w/ only a lawn ticket for the second set.
The music was pretty underwhelming, but I didn't expect much more going into the show. Some fun jams in the second set but nothing that blew me away -- more than anything, it was humbling to be in the presence of Phil and Bobby playing music together. I love those guys and being able to see them together is really something special.
It was great running into you, got to hangout a bit before and btwn sets.
I have to agree though, nothing really blew me away.. and it was weird hearing them after seeing/hearing phish all summer.
I went in with high expectation since my last show was at the Orpheum in Mass with SF, which was an insane show!! I guess part of it was that i wasn't in the first few rows. it was still lots of fun and i enjoyed the music. First set was really calm for me, but picked up in second set and had lots of fun.
As WTU said, the venue was fairly empty... very surprising. When i was there for phish, most places you could hardly walk, so many people, an for furthur, you could be dancing and spinning with your arms straight out and wouldn;t hit any one. started filling in on the lawn as the night went on, maybe lowered prices??

Good Deal!!!!
Spinning the first two shows of their summer tour right now (those from shoreline). Have not listened to any of their recent output yet, but these two nights are solid so far, nostalgia and all. The source is an unbelievable FOB aud up at etree, for those of you who appreciate those things. I will say though that they do play better and worse shows. The first night in Boston has been my favorite show out of the five that I have seen. Did not like the second night in Boston as much, although I was quite burnt from the first night. In Philly, the second night was far better than the first, which felt really flat and tired. Have not spun the show you guys were at but will probably get around to it eventually.

trippin' face.
So I hit the Philly and Holmdel shows this past weekend. Philly had a great Playing sandwich but other than that was kind of meh. Holmdel had a smoking first set but the highlight for me was Terrapin. John delivered such a beautiful rendition of Lady With a Fan. I really can not get over how well delivered his vocals were on this tune. He sings it much different than Jerry, so if you're a fan of Terrapin, check it out.
One thing that really stuck out was how awful Bob sounded when he sang on Jerry tunes. He sang for Death Dont Have No Mercy and it really sucked. I couldn't even make out WTF he was singing. Let John sing.

FYP! :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
But yeah, good times were had. It was super hot, like 100 degrees, plus the humidity and I don't even know what the index was like, but it was only 4 blocks from where we were staying so not too bad. So this was a new venue, it's only a month or two old, so I don't think they'd figured out a lot of the logistics yet, because the venue is essentially one city block, but 2 parking garages on either side of it, where obviously, everyone and anyone can go up to and watch and hear the show from perfectly.
I was hoping to score a couple cheap lawn tickets, but as you can tell from the pics, the lawn was essentially 20 feet by 100 feet, and since this was originally supposed to be at Walnut Creek, I guess those tickets automatically got switched over so th enext level up of ticketing was $50+14 service charges. We opted to stay outside. Literally, people were standing there on the fence watching. Ther was an adjacent lot which served as shakedown, and people were able to see perfectly simply by sitting on their vans/cars.
Anyhow, watched the first set from the parking deck, dug the Gloria and Row Jimmy as 1st set highlights, but otherwise, it never really got going for me. Somewhere during that the police came by and told everyone to "go buy a ticket if you want to listen to the music"....so we headed down, and set break went into the bar right there on the corner. 2nd set we stayed there at the bar where they had a deck and chairs set up for people to listen/watch the show from! 2nd set was where it was at, right from the start. I know there was some discussion of Russo earlier, but I think he's solid. Him and Phil took the reigns and just rolled thru the Cryptical > others one segment. Also, say what you will about fake Jerry, but John Kadlecik is ridiculously fun to listen to (see Morning Dew).
Oh, and right behind the lawn, so if you were facing out from the stage, there's this huge art piece on a building, looks like a tree, but is made up of this shimmering glass that blows in waves with the wind,a nd when it got dark was lit up by different colored lights from behind. It was sweet to watch, def a cool venue, and I'd highly rec checking a show there sometime, especially with it being in the heart of downtown and has tons of bars/hotels within walking distance, makes for a great set up.

eh. I walked away from both nights pretty unimpressed actually. I thought the energy, the playing, and song choices were pretty disjointed. Kind of like a 3.0 show- it had some big ups, but mostly huge downs. Overall, it left me with kind of a sad vibe. I had been looking forward to this more than Phish. So far, the best shows of the year for me have been both nights of Animal Collective that I saw.

Yeah, those setlists looked like a rough voyage. From reading on the boards, outside of a couple shows, this seems to be a common complaint about this summer's tour. Disjointed setlists affecting the cohesiveness of the vibe. 3.0'd. I thought the first night I caught in Philly this spring suffered from the same ailment.
Probably gonna hit up the CCCC show

I'll be at the Cville show.
I could probably be convinced to go up to AC for the boardwalk hall show if anyone else is interested in hitting that up.
Will definitely be at the State College show. Floor space available for qualified paugers as well.
Also considering Wilkes Barre, AC, and MSG.
Alright, who else is in for this Atlantic City show? Let's get another AC crew together and rage some casinos (and strip clubs)!

Anyone need a ride from Portland?
I'm going to the Saturday show, driving down early (10:00 AMish), driving back after the show - back in Portland by 1:30 AM Sunday morning.
Went last year for Kesey's birthday and the scene was cool. Rode home listening to Phish play THEWHITEALBUM. This year I'll have Rush's 2112 and BLONDE ON BLONDE.

I'm tempted to take you up on the offer just based on the fact that you will be playing 2112, but my wife won't be too psyched....actually rocking Rush in Rio in the car right now....I have the remastered 2112 but it sounds the same to me....anyway, see you down there, Hicks will be there too....
Scott, let's do up AC!

1. Didn't get into the band until after Jerry was dead.
2. I grew up in, and still live in Montana. Last time GD played MT= 05-14-74 (I was born in 1979)
3. Closest Further came is the Gorge in 09 (I think that was the last time they played there, may be wrong). That same day was my undergrad graduation.
4. Ratdog played Missoula a couple of times. I remember having to work for one of those nights and the other I was flat broke and couldn't afford a ticket. I don't remember being particularly remember being broke up about either experience.
5. Could never justify the expense for myself to go to Seattle or Portland (both 10-12 hours away) to see Further.

It's easy enough to find work as a narc; an anthropologist, not so much.
Maybe I do need to keep my career option open............
or maybe not
Nope, Furthur never played the Gorge, that was "The Dead" and from what JP tells me the show sucked ass.
Good call on skipping Ratdog too.

I've never heard it before, but I like the idea of listening to something epic, start - to - finish on the ride back. Since it's two hours, a double album is prime; but the Oregon night gets pretty dark on I-5, which seems like it would be a good setting for 2112.
Is it a concept album? Anything cool you can tell me about it without giving too much away?

So you're digging some Furthur these days, huh? For some reason I thought you didn't have any interest in current incarnations of the GD family. I see the Patriot Center on their itineraries sometimes and I wonder if it would be as cool as my mini-CapCenter fantasies imagine. I went there once in '86 to watch women's volleyball (couldn't tell ya why, I was 11). The place was empty so my buddy & I would roll quarters as hard as we could down that long oval-shaped hallway outside the seats, where the bathrooms and refreshment stands are. We had fun.
I think I read something about the band working on some originals with Robert Hunter.
Although I frowned at it on paper, I watched a clip of the ABBEY ROAD medley last weekend and it was actually kinda cool. Still haven't heard their take on TIME yet.

I'm game for a good show or even just an ok one but their timing tends to suck for shows close to me.
The Patriot center is cool. Saw my first Phish show there.
I've since seen, The Black Crowes and Phil there... Probably some others that I can't quite recall at the moment, too.
In my opinion, they do a nice cover of Time. I saw them play it at the Fox Theater in Atlanta back in April.

I went there once in '86 to watch women's volleyball (couldn't tell ya why, I was 11). The place was empty so my buddy & I would roll quarters as hard as we could down that long oval-shaped hallway outside the seats, where the bathrooms and refreshment stands are. We had fun.
I think I read something about the band working on some originals with Robert Hunter.
Although I frowned at it on paper, I watched a clip of the ABBEY ROAD medley last weekend and it was actually kinda cool. Still haven't heard their take on TIME yet.
I'm game for a good show or even just an ok one but their timing tends to suck for shows close to me.
The Patriot center is cool. Saw my first Phish show there.
I've since seen, The Black Crowes and Phil there... Probably some others that I can't quite recall at the moment, too.
the infamous Black Crowes '95 show!
what a classic!
Shit was straight up bad-ass.
cccc ticket purchased :mrgreen:

Anyone have know about parking on Day Island Road?
I saw a small parking lot while walking around the venue last year - it looked kind of secluded, i.e. awesome. I couldn't tell last year, but it seemed like there were concert-goers back there.
If so, does it [the Day Island Rd. parking lot] fill up early?
I've been to the Cuthbert twice and always parked on Leo Harris Parkway, in between Shakedown and the University ... but that mini-lot looks pretty cool back there on Day Island.

(http://g.co/maps/dwekg)
I dunno, I always park by the side of Autzen.....kind of up from Shakedown....I think there is plenty of places if you get there early (before 4:30)
Dunno, my mom, I mean wife, will probably be dropping me off.
Anyone following Zane Kesey's [alleged?] fb post about no vending being allowed at Cuthbert?
http://www2.registerguard.com/cms/index.php/ticket-files/comments/there-will-be-no-furthur-vending/ (ftp://www2.registerguard.com/cms/index.php/ticket-files/comments/there-will-be-no-furthur-vending/)
He claims it's the band's request.
Then the band's fb page posts - "Cuthbert Amphitheatre, the venue in Eugene, OR, where Furthur will be playing this weekend, has informed us that there will be NO vending allowed outside the venue."
Does anything go down in the Autzen lot, by the University? Maybe that will be the new Shakedown since it's not Cuthbert property. Maybe they're just talking about that small lot before you cross the bridge over the water. My first :syf: show at RFK in'89 was the first time they outlawed parking lot camping, I think, and there was plenty of talk on the lot that went either "yeah, right" or "fuck that rule."
Allz I'll be doing is slingin' kombucha, so I'm mobile and this sort of thing probably won't effect me. But I wonder if it will be ignored. I've read that the cops are ready to ticket their asses off. Last year on the lot, I was told a few times (by people who thought my tea jug was beer) that a lot of people got $300 tickets for open alcohol container violations.
p.s. If they play DARK STAR when that satellite burns through the atmosphere at quarter past nine tonight - I'm gonna shit. Even though I'm not even going down there until tomorrow.

That was said to be the size of a bus! Wonder where it landed...the ocean probably.
Last night looked pretty good, but they managed to stay away from most of the big guns I'm hoping for tonight. Dark Star, Scarlet/Fire, Eyes, Dew. Heading down with Caravan in a few hours. Psyched!

you got your wish...that 2nd set looks killah!
By far the best Furthur show I have seen. It was really, really good. Second set was amazing, although I was laid out during the first two songs, but pulled it together by the end of Bertha.....Got slaughtered by some ganja food. Dark Star->Caution->Eleven was redic....These guys kick major ass.....

First set everyone in the place really got on the same page during the Throwing Stones jam. Always a cool feeling when an entire venue drops into the groove together.

No worries bud you put on some ser miles yesterday!
Apparently the band wouldn't let Zane Kesey in with THE BUS last night. They wouldnt allow him to vend his shit in the vendors lot.
That shit is fucking cold man. Family my ass.
"We used to play for silver...and still do"
Zane's facebook post:
I feel like someone I LOVE just told me they could care less about me...I wish they (Furthur) would explain! I love this band, they are the only one's that play music I can "feel"! I tried to go Fri, but had to leave,too painful. I didn't even try Sat. I doubt today!
SIGH...pain!
:shakehead:
I don't know anything about Zane Kesey's issue, but I did see Furthur post on Friday that the venue was not allowing vending.

damn, that sucks. I wonder what made them turn a cold shoulder like that.
That's some fucked up shit right there. Must be a little more to the story than that. Maybe they were warned by the city council and it was out of their hands. Zane knew in adavance that they did not want vending, why did he insist on going then? Keep in mind, the Furthur lots on the West Coast have been rockous throat slitting affairs. That Calveras stand really got them in a lot of trouble. And I've been to Cuthbert for P&F, it's a small venue that probably might not be able to handle chaos.

Yeah, there has to be two sides of the story...Seems like Zane is overreacting a little bit...I mean, if there is no vending, there is no vending....Why would they just allow him only to go in there and sell all his crap. You can get all the fake blotter and stuff he made his dad sign from his cheesy website...I mean, I don;t know the story, and I don't know the guy, but does he really think Phil and Bobby have anything to do with who/what/when things are able to be sold at their shows? I really doubt "The band" would not let him in with his bus, it was probably a someone at the gate doing their job....
On a sort-of-but-not-really-related note, my wife, Jphish and myself are pulling in last night and pass the first three full parking lots. We get to the next parking lot and there are like 10-15 spaces that I can see. The guy won't let me in but we tell him we just need to use the porta-john and we'll pull out. We pull in, grab a spot and start heading to the venue. Guy comes up and says "This parking lot is only for people with dogs, you have to leave." I was like "I have a dog but I'm not idiotic enough to bring it to a Furthur show." We look around and there is like 50 dogs running around....I have never been to a show where people are rewarded with close parking spaces because they brought their dog....Wack...I tried to give the guy $10 and he still booted us...Oh well, we parked down the road and paid a guy the $10 to bring us to the front in a pedi-cab, it was dope.......

The show was incredible...I have seen Phil and Friends probably 20 or so times in various incarnations and this was my third time seeing Furthur-- The show last night was the best I have seen except for Phil and Trey and Page thing in '99 at the Warfield....First set reached it's peak with Throwing Stones, but the second set was on from the get....The DS>Caution>Eleven was unreal and the Black Peter was super down home. I was like meh when they started Black Peter but by the time it was over, I was ecstatic....We did not/could not stop dancing the whole set (except for Jack Straw when I couldn't stand)....I was def impressed. If you like Grateful Dead music, you will have an incredible time. This was worlds better than the last two Furthur shows I have seen, so it might depend on what night you catch them. The first time they played in Portland, they had throwdown shows in Denver before and SF after but Portland was a dog. Hopefully you get a good one!

Heh I was in the funk trench for that and some random guy grabbed me for an impromptu sing along for a couple of lines.
People were getting down for sure.
I really want to see these guys. I'm really trying to make The Fox happen in November. The drive is cake from Oklahoma, but I'm moving to Denver next month for work.
Just grabbed The second night from Eugene. Looking forward to giving it a spin.
Also, the city of Eugene is notoriously draconian in matters like these, so there's no doubt in my mind that the vending ban is coming from them.
After all, this is the same town that made it illegal to skateboard with a dog.

I'm curious to see what Missoula brings in the form of crowds/lot scene.
Wonder if Bobby will reference the GDs last visit to the venue in 74 where he was pelted in the head by a plastic Aber Day Kegger pitcher just before the encore.

I think that lot was for locals taking their dogs for a walk in Alton Baker park, not concertgoers with dogs. I talked to the yellowshirt about parking there and that was the rap he gave me.
We thought about 'borrowing' a dog from some of the people getting out of their newly-parked cars ...

Yeah, people like to get down and wook out in Eugene for sure but I don't think it's typical to drink out of red party cups while you take your dog to the park.

Well, then u r doing it wrong.
Sorry i left my phone in the truck Nab and JimmyWilson...i had a great trip all around. Rock Creek is beautiful and so easy to access. Only caught 2 rainbows and 2 cutthroat, but one of the cuttys came in at 15inches and he was chunky.
The lot scene was funny. I just sat on the edge of the intramural feilds and laughed at all the drama and anger floating around. Guess the cops could be partially to blame for that.
As for the show, i was really impressed with Phil and his control over leading the jams. The keyboard player was good, but at times he seemed to get stuck in the same old rut. My favorite song of the night was prolly Althea, but the Viola Lee was strong too.
So, would i travel across the country to see this band, No. Will i be back in Mizzoula to do some fishing, Hell Yeah!
salt lake show from 09/28 was pretty fun. one of those weird times where i end up enjoying the 1st set more than the 2nd.
it was up and down in terms of the setlist and lacked sum consistency but was still super fun. I really enjoyed the deal and lovelight. im sure they were just priming up for this Red Rocks run.
it had to be the most empty show ive ever been to. they coulda easily put everyone in the building down on the floor still woulda been 75% full. i dont expect to see them come back b/c of this, its ashame. but it was still awesome
for those who are seeing them at red rocks or wherever enjoy. i had a blast.

Bobby began singing Minglewood again at the beginning of Maggies Farm. :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
I guess he was unaware that they had segued into a new song.
It was a fun show. I listened to the stream last night on SiriusXM.
You wouldn't think by looking at it on paper, but the first set was actually pretty dope

Anyone know about prices on the secondary market (lot prices) for the shows this tour? I mean obviously it depends on the venue... JPJ in cville holds around 16k iirc.

Last year when we got stubbed in we went and tried for ticekts, iirc tickets were like 45 that tour. We were on lot for 2-3 hrs and couldnt find anyone with a cheaper ticket.
Just bought a pair of lower level phil-side tix for $34 each off stubhub.

It was a monster indeed. The Stephen > DS > Stephen > Eleven > TOO was :rawk:
It was a great night. Susep, myself and 3 of our buds rolled into Portland around 2:30 and met up with UM a few hours later. Hit up a couple of bars including Brian Baru's where the pic above was taken - the upper deck outside overlooking shakedown (where we had our paug meetup for :phish: in 11/09).
I went in with absolutely no expectations and came out pretty impressed - they seem to be getting better and better. First set was well played and had a great flow throughout. We were on "old" Phil side for the entire set and moved down to the floor during setbreak. I got a little worried with Mountain Song cuz it was a momentum killer coming out of China Cat but as soon as the first notes of St. Stephen came through it was all gooooood :music: and back to "old" Phil side we went. I was in lift-off mode as soon as they slammed into TOO out of The Eleven :mrgreen: I've never been a fan of Unbroken Chain so I had time to come back down to earth just in time for a beautiful Stella Blue. I even enjoyed the Touch encore :evil:
At 71, Phil is still amazing. He looked all pimped out in his sleek, black, button-up shirt and was dropping bombs. The dude looks like he'll be playing when he's 100 - truly da man!

Remember, when dealing in Whiski (which is the correct plural form of the drink), always have soristitutes in an even multiple ratio per the # of whiski consumed.
Wait, so you're saying I Shouldn't have fucked that 5th Pi Phi?

Might head to the show in Albany after class to try and get cheap tickets on the lot. How have the search for tickets on the lot been? They pricey or on the cheaper side?

I caught the five night Phil and Friends Beacon run right after 9/11 and during George Harrison's passing. Wouldn't trade those shows for anything. Not so sure about Furthur, but one would imagine they would probably do an Allman's style guest list.

I'll be at at least one of those Beacon shows.
presale for the Beacon.

wharf rat in the mix?
i've started to notice that the Dead seemed to always kick down the Wharf Rat for boston shows.
...and Boston Music Hall!?!!?!!!! i didnt realize it was still operating as the same venue! wow, you're lucky. in my opinion BMH is top 5 venues all time for the DEAD.
my #1 fav show ever is from there.
i'm so jealy!!
Hows the Wang theatre in Boston?
Never been...
lol...... wang theatre
It was the Boston Music hall until the 80s or so (GD, June 76 ftw)
There was a big hi tech company named after some dude called Wang, who bought it and renamed it. The company went the way that most of those hi tech places went.
they stopped doing rock shows there for a while - I saw the Nutcracker and a few travelling shows there - nice theater, good sound. I haven't been in about 5 years or more.
They started doing rock shows again a couple years ago. Steely Dan was there this year.

Any rumours for this summer??
I could handle another triple-bill at the Gorge like in '09 - the Doobie Bros. > Allman Bros. > Dead
But I haven't heard anything yet.
I'd totally try to make it down to any of the venues Bobby and Phil opened if they played there.

downloaded that first show. had a quick listen last night and honestly I was kinda disappointed. I just can't get into warren haynes' playing style or vocals.
The wharf rat was pretty cool though.

yeah warren is always a downer....but no one can bring down the mighty PHIL :syf: :rawk:
Just listened to set 1 lat night - didn't do much for me up until the Wheel, then I started to like it
funny - most people here don't like Warren (I do). Most people on the ABB web site don't like :phish:, so I guess it's even

have fun. :beerbang:
Just got back
strong show
opener set 1- Playin>Crazy Fingers (Foxboro 7/02/89, in attendance. I don't know for a fact, but I don't think that combo opened too many other shows, if any)
opener set 2- St Stephen (Boston Music Hall - same building, different name, 6/09/76)
coincidence? I think not.
another weird thing - for 6 years I worked in the hospital next to the venue and parked in the same lot everyday. It was a bit strange seeing the place surrounded by deadheads and the parking lot filled with fumes
eta - when I first started working there, that neighborhood was the Combat Zone. So instead of deadheads hanging around there were hookers. Not as weird as I thought
more tomorrow
Wish I could've made it tonight or tomorrow. Hope y'all have fun!

the good ole days of the combat zone.
I used to ahve similar experiences when I started law school and there'd be a phil & friends or trey show at the orpheum. it took all my willpower to go into class and then I'd be sitting in class and you could actually hear the crowd outside.
now on the rare occassion I go to the orpheum, I see those poor saps going into class while I'm outside making noise for them to listen to in class.
enjoy tonight's show.
Furthur Fall Dates
September 21-23 Morrison, CO—Red Rocks Amphitheatre
September 25 Seattle, WA—WaMu Theater at CenturyLink Field Events Center
September 27-30 Troutdale, OR—Edgefield
September 30 Mountain View, CA—Shoreline Amphitheatre
October 2 San Diego, CA—SDSU Open Air Theatre
October 4 Las Vegas, NV—The Joint
October 5-6 Los Angeles, CA—Greek Theatre
October 7 Santa Barbara, AC—Santa Barbara Bowl
Even though it's sold out, I think I'm going to bike up to Edgefield on Friday and hang out. I've been there a couple times (had lunch, walked the grounds, toured the facility), but never for a show. With all the rooms checked out by 'Heads, I'm guessing it could still be a lot of fun.
From their website - "East and West lots will open at 12 noon, day of show." and "Campsites in the vicinity: Dabney State Park is the closest with several others within 15 miles."
So I might check out Dabney, too.
Anyone hitting up these shows?

My buddy scored seats for :phish: blossom '10. It was also ~18 rows back. They're dope. It had a private bathroom, too. Paid $60 for it in the lot.

I just saw them at the Mann Center in Philadelphia. It was nice to see a band do some serious type II jams and play a lot of good segues. I liked the jamming right before and during Dark Star. They got kind of out there before Dark Star. It was pretty dissonant and a little cacophonous. At that point a lot of people sat down and talked to the person next to them, but oh well. I enjoyed the show much more than 4th of July Phish. But anyway, maybe they are really going for it because Phil might be done with touring soon.

I almost prefer it. I don't like coordinating extra tickets or worrying about whether someone else is having a good time. I pretty much roll solo nowadays, and just meet up with whoever is also going. That's not to discount the enjoyment I get from meeting up with people and hanging with them during the shows. The Deer Creek phish shows were totally better because I hung out with MisterCharlie, Tomapella, Aphineday, and my buddy Tom Fox. And also that baby that was suckin' on a titty. And my lovely cougar bartender who I talked to multiple times both nights

Yeah, I like going solo, and it's made even better by the fact that once I arrive solo I find Keller or Tom or someone else randomly that I know. Hell when I took my mom to go see Willie ( I know that's not flying solo) we randomly bumped into this old hippie that used to go see GD with us. And before I metup with Keller for night two of phish I bumped into a different set of old friends that I don't really keep in touch with.
When you're solo it's easier to roam around and see what's to be seen.

I think lope was speaking more of going 100% solo. Like not knowing who may or may not even be there. But the last line of your post,
QuoteWhen your solo it's easier to roam around and see what's to be seen.
^^^When I say I'm going solo, that's what I mean. I don't plan to meet anyone there, just go to listen to the music. I find it liberating in the fact that I can roam where ever I want but it is also great if you want to pay attention solely to the music. No chit chat during tunes, just you and the music.
Yet another cool Furthur afterparty in Portland - this one after the Friday night show.

They've got an fb page. Zane Kesey is already calling it the Portland Acid Test and they're putting a lot of prep into it. Hit me up if you want to put a 'Paug posse together to hit this thing up, 'cuz I'm definitely going on Saturday. I might even be able to squeeze in a MAGIC TRIP viewing between now & then to get in the mood.

Hippies can't spell fuck.
Back in the 90s I put a bunch of studio GD discs into a 5CD changer on random and it played the same setlist.
meh.
Well this past weekend I raged three nights of Furthur at Edgefield. Unfortunately in the end I'm kinda just left with a blank stare rather than a feeling that I saw anything special. Aside from the few times the whole band would stop and just let Phil steer the ship, I wasn't too psyched about the music. Ultimately I ended up paying $72/night to party with my friends, which is a little steep. Living legends, I know, that's why I was there, but I think next time I'll follow the lead of Caravan and Hicks and just do one night. Hangin with Todd the first night was by far the best show experience of the three because he went super early and snagged a killer spot for us. I soaked it all in that night. The next two we had dancing space but lots of talking goin on made it hard to focus or appreciate what was going on.
Nostalgia act or not, if I just saw three full shows and there's not one piece that I feel I need to rehear, time to reevaluate why I pay all that money.
Don't get me wrong, I had a ton of FUN. And partied my ass off thurs and sat, but musically speaking......

But as for Furthur, sorry the music wasn't anything special.
So jealous of you cats going to Bear Creek. Not really because of Furthur though

I thought it was pretty funny that shushed me at one point, didn't think I was talkin all that much, but granted I was fairly drunk.

Well this past weekend I raged three nights of Furthur at Edgefield. Unfortunately in the end I'm kinda just left with a blank stare rather than a feeling that I saw anything special. Aside from the few times the whole band would stop and just let Phil steer the ship, I wasn't too psyched about the music. Ultimately I ended up paying $72/night to party with my friends, which is a little steep. Living legends, I know, that's why I was there, but I think next time I'll follow the lead of Caravan and Hicks and just do one night. Hangin with Todd the first night was by far the best show experience of the three because he went super early and snagged a killer spot for us. I soaked it all in that night. The next two we had dancing space but lots of talking goin on made it hard to focus or appreciate what was going on.
Nostalgia act or not, if I just saw three full shows and there's not one piece that I feel I need to rehear, time to reevaluate why I pay all that money.
Don't get me wrong, I had a ton of FUN. And partied my ass off thurs and sat, but musically speaking......

When I saw them at Bethel this summer they were very flat and boring (I only caught the second set). Supposedly they had blown it out the two nights before in Brooklyn. I won't be seeing them again.

No doubt about that. Counting the days....

that's exactly what i said a few years ago when they played the uic pavilion...everytime they come around, it's hard to pass up, but i've stuck to my guns.
Went last week and raged the first night with JP. Thought it was awesome. Not sure if I would have been able to hang for three nights but what I saw was good/great. Probably the best of the 5 times I have seen them. I was faded though-- got in line at 1PM to secure a good sot and the venue brings a golf cart by with beer all day. Fun show, will go again if they come back for sure. Listening to the tape and it holds up. Highlights were Polythene Pam>She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and King Soloman's Marbles....
Seen furthur quite a few times and I'll never forget the shows but I'll never go listen to them again either. I just always walked out thinking they sounded the exact same from the last time I saw them. Not much variation.
Further is about to be streaming for free from Phil's place.

Bob Weir Unable To Finish Furthur Show At Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on JamBase
BOB WEIR UNABLE TO FINISH FURTHUR CAP RESIDENCY FINALE
BAR AT HISTORIC VENUE RENAMED GARCIA'S
Furthur guitarist Bob Weir was unable to finish the second set of tonight's show at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY - the band's 9th and final show of a lengthy residency at the historic venue. Reports have Weir struggling throughout the show, both on vocals and guitar, especially as the second set progressed, and eventually being helped into a chair onstage by two crew members.
After Furthur had completed Unbroken Chain, the band briefly left the stage and returned a few minutes later without Weir. Bassist Phil Lesh told the crowd that Weir had suffered a strained shoulder earlier in the day and the band would be finishing the second set without him. Furthur is scheduled to play next on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. It goes without saying, that everyone at JamBase wishes Bobby a swift recovery back to full-strength.
In other Cap news, Jerry Garcia's daughter Trixie came out just before Furthur started their encore to announce the new Capitol Theatre bar will be named Garcia's.
Here's the setlist from tonight's Furthur Cap Finale:
Set One: Feel Like A Stranger, Brown-Eyed Women, Minglewood Blues > He's Gone > Me and My Uncle, Dire Wolf, Mason's Children
Set Two, Part One: Scarlet Begonias > Eyes of the World > Uncle John's Band > The Wheel, Unbroken Chain (Bobby Helped Off Stage)
Set Two, Part Two: Stella Blue> China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider (performed without Bob Weir)
Encore: Built To Last (performed without Bob Weir)
[Setlist via Ratdog.org]
Yep.
Text from a friend who was at the concert:
QuoteBobby is so wasted. He fell over on stage and had to be helped off. It's awful. They're finishing the show without him
Just sayin'.

Gonna go ahead and guess that no one here is going to plan a vacation around Furthur. . .

QuoteAfter more than four years of heavy, year-round touring, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir have decided to put their band Furthur on hiatus in 2014. After the four night Furthur run in Mexico in January, the band will take the rest of 2014 off so that Phil and Bob can focus on their countless solo projects.
Furthur came together in September, 2009, and from its inception was a band Phil and Bob were completely committed to, and still are. In the 18 years since the Grateful Dead stopped being a touring entity, Furthur has proven to be the longest-tenured, and most active band featuring two or more former members of the Grateful Dead. With shows that keep the Dead vibe alive while pushing the musical envelope, well, furthur, this band has brought smiles to hundreds of thousands of fans in the past four years. Most impressive is that this has become a true band, and not just Phil and Bob plus some side players. John Kadlecik (guitar), Jeff Chimenti (keyboards), Joe Russo (drums), and Sunshine Becker and Jeff Pehrson (vocals) have joined the trip to create a band that has become one of the most exciting, honest and inspired touring acts in music today.
What does 2014 hold for Phil and Bob? If their activities outside of Furthur in the past four years are any indication, plenty. Phil's been playing virtually every night when not on tour with Furthur, whether at his Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, CA, or on the road with Phil Lesh & Friends. Bob's been hosting one of the most unique web-based variety shows in history, Weir Here, every Wednesday night when he's not touring, presented live from his TRI Studios in San Rafael. Additionally, Bob's been having a blast playing his solo acoustic shows, as well as other gigs and tours with newer arrivals to the party. He plans to keep doing what he's doing, and more of it.
The last time the word "hiatus" was used in regards to the Grateful Dead world was in 1974, and we all know how much good that break inspired. They returned a year and a half later, stronger than ever, and for another 20 years. Furthur's not breaking up; they're simply taking a much-needed break. One way or another, we'll see you around.

That's funny... But seriously, the best dso show I ever saw was billed as "Terrapin Nation" not dso and they played a ton of Jerry band tunes. It was incredible. The dear prudence was gorgeous.
