Well my buddy Matt just called me to let me know his girlfriend is buying us tickets to The Forum and Shoreline as a present to him.
SO I guess I\'ll be Trippin\' down memory lane in May.
It\'s funny how things work out when it comes to these fuckers. :lol:
:lol: Who the **** do these guys think they are? Was thinking of The Forum but now seeing the prices, **** no!
If the last couple gigs they have done is any indication it will most likely go down like this:
Phil wanting to sing the wrong songs.
Bob **** up the lyrical meter of his own best songs.
Bill trying to keep a steady beat over Mickey\'s wandering drum thumping.
Warren playing every tune as a blues number and playing over everyone while Chimenti just tries to keep a cohesive melody amongst the madness.
I mean if they were serious about performing Grateful Dead songs in the framework most of us are familiar with I would be curious.
So after listening to the Roseland Ballroom set I am pretty excited to hear this band play GD tunes.
Phil still can\'t sing a lick and they still screw up the lyrics to UJB but Bob seems to be remembering how his songs are sung, The Rhythm Devils are in sync, and Warren seems to be making more of a conscious effort to play within the GD framework and less afraid of playing more true to Jerry\'s sound.
For me Warren has typically fallen back on his ABB style jamming with The Dead which is very noticeable and just sounds like ABB covering GD.
I only noticed that in small places and he pretty much took care of it quickly playing much more with the rest of the band than he did before.
This is the key for me. I know what the Core 4 bring when they are happy together and Jeff is always on point so if Warren is going to keep this up, some really really killer music is going to happen.
Cassidy is a stellar example of what this band can do.
It\'ll never be the GD but it may be the closest they\'ve come except for a very few exceptions.

thanks for posting leith, I was going to ask elisa to post it for us but you beat her to it! :lol:
awesome time, great setlist. til the morning comes had horrible mistakes throughout and was a beautiful trainwreck. loved every second of the show.
Have video of everything through the second space jam. will post once I get better audio.
i had a very fun time
not being much of a deadhead, my opinion is the second set was superior of the two, and the drums section stole the show- it got dark and dirty in there for a minute!!
and it smelled like ser sour diesel where i was sittin!
