Furthur at The Fox in Oaksterdam.

It gets better night by night with the band in fine fucking form the last night!

I suggest skipping to the last night and then picking through the rest for your fav tunes.

Yeah John has all those Jerry riffs and licks he has practiced all these years to pull out and then he also does some pretty sweet shit on his own.

He also provides that parachute for Bobby, that space to say"Hey it\'s cool you fucked up I know where we\'re supposed to go" and then goes there.

As a Deadhead I\'m pretty pissed this is sooooooo good.

They played a decent tour as The Dead this year but the best of that pales imo to what this band can bring.

[inertia1215]

Thanks for the links Leith!! 9-20 is un-fuckin believable, caught the Dead this past tour and am pissed JK wasn\'t playing those dates instead of Warren.

[skalnbyc]

We were at the Friday night warmup show and had a damn fine time.  

I have add that Joe Russo is a great addition to the band.  

Haven\'t listened back to the recording yet but plan to take in all 3.  

Playing a smaller venue like the Fox was a real treat.

[kindm's]

warren haynes ruins everything,imo.

Dude. Gov\'t Mule OWNS!!

And Warren basically saved ABB

He was also one of the only interesting players in the early days of Phil & Friends

I will admit for a while in the late 90\'s early 00\'s he was overexposed but you don\'t get the moniker of Hardest working man in show business by sitting around with your thumb up your butt

Not to mention Jimmy Herring and Warren have their own style. They don\'t try to BE Jerry like this DSO guy.

You guys like it because a guy sings and plays basically EXACTLY like Jerry.

Give me Barraco over any of these guys any day

I don\'t think that WH ruins everything, but he does ruin Dead bands he\'s in... PL&F is fine because they\'re not trying to be TGD, but the other bands I don\'t get his inclusion.  Gov\'t is good.  ABB isn\'t the ABB anymore (in my opinion)...

[SlimPickens]

I really hope they continue with this line up.  Would be great if they did a national tour.

These recordings seems pretty weak soundwise.  But I guess it\'s all we got right now.

Uh open your ears bud. He does not sound EXACTLY like Jerry.
Check out his work in The Mix. He has his own style it just happens to be based in the Jerry Garcia school of playing. Which is very tonal and effect based.

His singing voice is not nearly as strong as Garcia\'s. His use of inflection mimics Jerry the most though which is what is always missing from Jerry songs. Not anymore.

Oh and Barraco kicks ass on Keys but sucks at guitar so I have no clue why you would pick him over any of these guys.
That\'s just silly talk.

I know you love GD so you should do yourself a favor and check it out. Phil loves it so much he wrote a new song for the band.

When was the last time he was excited enough to do that?
Hmmmm?

I was listening to your links when I posted.

Sorry but Dead cover bands just aren\'t my thing.

I mentioned Barraco because he CAN SING. I know he plays keys for fucksake geez.

I have unfortunately seen DSO many times so I am familiar with this pseudo-Jerry. If you honestly think he doesn\'t try to BE Jerry you aren\'t paying attention.  

ABB hasn\'t been ABB since they kicked Dickey out of the band. Period end of story.

I love Phil and all but he really needs to just hang it up. Bobby is close. Billy and Mickey seem to be able to still bring it but interesting they are not part of this group.

After the abomination of the last tour I just cannot fathom spending $$ to see them anymore

I guess I am just sick of these guys doing nothing new but simply rehashing a catalog. OOOOH they added a new guy to play the same tunes with them. How original.

[bdfreetuna]

I like Fake Jerry cuz he can play like Jerry on a good night in any era. Vocally not as good. And of course not as original as Jerry himself but Fake Jerry\'s definitely wicked consistent and has a great feel for Dead-style improv.

Warren wasn\'t too bad with The Dead either... I appreciated the fact that he eased up on his shitty guitar tone for once. Dude = overrated. You can work as hard as you want but if you\'re not born to be one of the greats you\'re just gonna be a pretty good guitar player with a lot of projects goin on. Not to hate. But Fake Jerry is an improvement IMO. Maybe I like GD to sound something like GD?

Probably rather see Ratdog anyway

I get your pessimism believe me but the point of this band is to actually do the music justice and actually take it Furthur.

Something they feel they can not do as The Dead for whatever reasons.

JK can never be a part of The Dead(you can research what Billy thinks about DSO and figure the rest out.) due to his style but he can help this band explore that material in a more familiar vein.

This familiarity along with a new rhythm section has reignited that Spark in Phil and Bob.

Hmmm guess you missed the new Phil song which is actually pretty good and there IS new material being worked on.
