Bobby with glasses? I guess I haven't been following things lately!

Bobby's voice sounds stronger than it has been in a long time, even wearing glasses the entire show.

Mickey and Jeff have used their specs for years. Oteil was sporting bare feet too!

Anybody go to MSG last night or tomorrow? Or other shows on the tour?

Re: Dave's Picks, I am entering my third year of subscription. Have not been disappointed yet. So much great material to choose from.

Bob -

I really enjoy the selections on Dave's Picks...been doing it since the inception. I also did Dick's Picks, the Vault series, etc. I'm working on the 30 Trips Around the Sun and find that I really like the era of Donna and Keith Godchaux the best...that's when I started listening. Of course, the early stuff is wunderbar! IMO, now that I'm getting into the Brent Mydland years, I'm not liking his "plinky" organ sounds...I prefer just a good piano or more classic organ tracks. YMMV...

Hi Kurt,

MMDV (My Mileage Does Vary) somewhat. My first show was Brent's fourth, Hampton VA in May '79. But I am growing to appreciate Keith and Donna's contributions more and more. Aside from Keith's uninspired playing in his later months, and Donna's occasional but all too often off key screeching, they really added a whole new dimension post PigPen. I'm really enjoying some very good '77 stuff, especially my first listen to Cornell.

I found the Brent years to be very creative and mostly tight, and he brought some great vocal skills and new energy, and I believe he inspired Jerry a lot. I just (finally) picked up the Road Trips Volume 1 Number 1 form Fall '79, (which DID include the Bonus Disc) and brought back some great memories.

Dead and Co is becoming much more creative and willing to expand their interpretations, now that JM knows the music and goes way out there sometimes. I am loving it!

Bob -

After the GD went "silent" in 1995, I never really picked up the assemblages post Jerry. I will always gravitate to the original core group and there's so much to listen to. I did buy the July 4th weekend package from a few years ago but haven't been able to get around to listening to it. I look forward each year to 30 Days of the Dead to download a snippet of some show in the past...I'm never very good at trying to identify the venue and date, though.

I've mentioned it before but I really liked the boxed set of the 1972 European tour. The recordings were very well done...maybe it had to do with the acoustics of the vintage places they visited. Plus it had Pigpen!!

It's all a personal choice of course.

I bought the pay per view from July 3 and 5 Fare Thee Well shows and definitely enjoyed them. But JM brings more spirit than Trey did.

I also love the early years, 30 Days and all the offerings from Dead.net. It's all good!

Hey Bob, I was lucky enough to win the ticket lottery and I’m looking forward to what those two come up with. It looks like there are dead and Co shows up till a couple days before the duo tour starts. Makes me wonder how much rehearsal time there can possibly be before the 1st show. I sincerely hope some thought has been put into this and it’s not just taking their guaranteed audience for granted

Maybe I missed it, but I did not see a gig listed mid July in Iowa? How did we let that happen??

Bob, that's really cool that you guys are going!

Not in the cards for me, but I hope you have fun!

I'm sure we will Bob.

She actually suggested the trip as another combo present to each other, adding a pre-retirement element as well.

All inclusive, on the beach, with 3 shows! We are staying on site, who could ask for more?

If this is any indication, retirement will be great and can't come soon enough!

We need a "like" button.

Just noticed this tour schedule for Dead & Co for the summer:

Playin' in the Sand

PITS was excellent! We did not know anyone going in, but made lots of new friends and had a great time.

If I had gone last year, I definitely would have gone back this year.

Hope they do it again next year. If so, I look forward to going again.

Rumors abound about possible location change, will stay tuned.

Glad it was fun! I am seeing sources for audience recordings popping up. Sheet me an email or pm if you want me to grab them for you.

Hi Bob,

Soundboard recordings are available from Nugs with special code also. Will have to see how that works with my not so smart phone.
At least my wife has a iphone now. I am still resisting!
