    "We were in the Pacific Northwest...between somewhere in Washington and some other where in Oregon. The road took us to the lip on a ridge, from where we could see around us for many miles in all directions … It was breathtaking to behold, but as we watched, we had a firm realization that we were witnessing something even more beautiful than our eyes could ever take in … Life causes life. Heaven and Earth dance in this way endlessly, and their child is the forest. And so there we were, epiphanously watching that grandest and most glorious dance of life—of which we are just a tiny part—awed by a magnificence without beginning, without end..."

    Bob Weir, “Sell Headwaters—Everyone Wins,” San Francisco Chronicle

    The Pacific Northwest offers up a rich feast of land, sky, and water. It is ripe with influences, abundant with symbols, deep and spirited. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the Grateful Dead played some of their most inspired shows on these fertile grounds. It does, however, sometimes take a breath for the elements to re-align years later. It seems for us, they finally have and we are able to present not just a glimpse of the band's extraordinary exploratory tour through the region, but a two-tour bounty as the PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS.

    For PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS, we've paired two short runs made up of six previously unreleased shows - P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. (6/22/73); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (6/24/73); Seattle Center Arena, Seattle, WA (6/26/73); P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, Canada (5/17/74); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (5/19/74); and Hec Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (5/21/74). Each show has been mastered in HDCD from the original master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. The transfers from the masters were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that these shows have ever sounded.

    PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS comes in an ornate box created by Canada’s preeminent First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers (more on this tremendous artist soon). To complement the music, the set also includes a 64-page book with an in-depth essay by Grateful Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether and photos by Richie Pechner.

    Due September 7th, this release is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from dead.net. You'll want to grab a copy while you can and sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks.

    Looking for something a little more byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day. You can pre-order it now too.

    Get it while you can.

    I would guess by the time the box comes out, and deadheads comment on how nice the box looks, that will "seal the deal" for a lot of people.I am not familiar with the NW shows so I am very much looking forward to sitting down, pouring a cold beverage, lighting up one of my dead meerschaum pipes, and enjoying each show. I am sure the quality of the sound will be...excellent! A lot of us forget how bad cassettes were in the day. Not all...but most! Have a great day! Mr. Pete-----------------> aging hippie

    Total run time for 6/1 @ Camden was 2 hrs, 54 minutes (18 songs including encore) per my Nugs download. For 6/2, it was 1 hr, 46 minutes (10 songs). I don't have the specific Set 1 vs. Set 2 breakdown at the moment. In listening, I felt like the 6/2 first set seemed longer than usual. On a related note, hoping to catch the boys at Blossom tomorrow if time permits!

    Refund
    Not sure why you feel entitled to a refund. You don't get a refund if a baseball game gets called early due to rain. You don't get a refund if you buy a ski pass for the season and it does not snow. Our plow guy certainly does not offer a refund if it does not snow. The same thing happened in Canandaigua a few years back. Sucks, but that is how life works.

    Lucky you, daverock and Jim. Have only seen him live once, back in 1979 or 80 (edit: oops, not that anybody cares, but I remember now that it was in 1976. 42 years ago? Ouch) not long after Wired came out, so that and Blow by Blow made up a good portion of the show. How could anyone not like that? Seems he'll be in southern Cal this tour but I'm up north, so will miss him again. In the age of youtube, though, it's easy to see parts of these tours that I cannot attend. He's still among the pinnacle of my rock guitar favorites, with that rare blend of technique, emotion, and inventiveness. I can listen to Garcia endlessly, but when I'm in the right mood, JB has that different sort of mojo that's a cut above. Guys like Clapton, Santana, Robbie Robertson, and name 20 others always had lots of talent, but Beck continued to evolve and innovate, and damn does he ever age? I think his adventurous spirit, constant playing with new and talented sidemen, and restraint on overexposing himself has helped him maintain his longevity and freshness. Just re-read your post daverock, and somehow I missed the Imelda May reference as the warm up act on my first read. Wow, would I have liked to have been at that show! Jim, you'll be lucky if she comes along on his US tour too.

    Percentages
    Thx Jimbo. And I did some quick math on your numbers below - they are eerily similar in terms of % unique songs played; FW 69 is 35.4839% 'unique songs' vs. PNW 73/74 being 36.5854% unique songs. Moral of the story seems to be that repeats have long been A Thing across runs. I ain't complainin'! Fun w/#'s Sixtus P.S. and it was the China > Rider transition from 5/19/74, while listening on my Walkman strolling to my French class that had me repeatedly rewinding that Feelin Groovy jam which has since had me 1000% hooked on that little snippet whenever and wherever it pops up.

    Re: Sixtus III, I'm Shocked, Songs..
    First.. congrats and best of luck Sixtus. Seond.. I got a nice chuckle out of thin being "shocked!" Chortled my coffee a bit.. I suspect the frequent visitors of these threads are mostly all-in on this one with some that are interested but passing for various reasons. I think it's worth it for a cleaned up, pristine PNE 73 alone, add in Seattle 74 and the rest is bonus material. I cannot get enough WRS's either, Truckin' had legs back then, China Riders were going through a pivotal evolution, there are some first set novelties like The Race is On, early Peggy-O's and others and you have the makings for a great box set. ..and that's before the extra time and effort mastering, Plangent, etc. As for songs. Just for kicks and giggles I compared to FW 69. I know there is no comparison, FW was an explosive early high water mark. ..but this is how they match up: FW 69 Shows 4 Songs 62 Avg. Songs per Show 15.5 Unique Songs 22 PNW 73/74 Shows 6 Songs 164 Avg. Songs per Show 27.3 Unique Songs 60

    Dead & Co Rain Out Camden June 2
    On a different note, I decided I wanted to know where it said in my ticket agreement that the BB&T Pavilion can cancel a show at some point through it without offering a refund. They are offering some free streaming stuff, but to be frank, I was treated rather belligerently by the woman I spoke to. She actually interrupted me, and said the words, "you're not getting a refund" after cutting me off several times in an impatient tone. I was very cordial in my questions and demeanor, so, clearly no respect for the customer (not because I wasn't given a refund right), but because I was talked down to and interrupted. This woman, after not knowing the answers, told me to Google it. I guess I can't be too surprised at poor customer service, but I can't remember the last time congeniality was reciprocated by condescension. I asked for her manager and was forwarded to his voice mail, so I left him a message. I don't know about you guys, but this sort of thing sticks in my craw, and frankly the discussion on Hell Freezes Over and increased ticket sales prices is what really got me to thinking I'm not happy with this outcome, and that I was going to call about it. I believe that the cost to either BB&T Pavilion and or Dead and Company to redo the show is going to hurt their pocketbooks a lot less than a great number of fans who attended, once you break it down to percentages and household income, etc. If it says in my ticket or anywhere in my purchase agreement that they have a right to do this, then it is what it is and I'm fine with it. If anyone out there has statistics on the number of minutes played at any Dead & Co shows, I would be grateful for them (like, if you have a show loaded up on your iPod, and the total runtime for both sets and Encore equals x number of minutes, that would be great thanks). The June 1st and 2nd Camden shows especially.

    Hey Now Just checking in after a bit of a hiatus - life's curveballs, you know? Busy times and not so busy times but busy times will indeed REIGN when Sixtus III arrives this Friday AM so long as all goes as scheduled. Then, crazy train. Good to catch up from the last several days, here. Psyched for this Big Box. Just looking forward to the smooth sound upgrade and some monster shows, just gimme it All. Dead & Co have been a lot of fun lately - that Billy Tell > Eleven rolled me over (sounds like VGuy too). Also coming out of Space into Eyes? My cup O' Tea. Be well people! revel in the summertime - I will certainly try and will do my best to check in and offer some candid updates. That may or may not involve poop. Sixtus

    Pacific Northwest Sellout Efficacy
    It's almost impossible to compare sales performance of any one Grateful Dead box set to another. Some we don't know how many they produced (Winterland 1973 & 1977); some are from extremely famous runs (Cornell, Europe '72); some are relatively expensive; some are relatively inexpensive; and some are available for download, so we can't even measure their sales. In hindsight, it seems clear why Cornell, Europe 72, Fillmore West 1969, and 30 Trips Around the Sun sold out quickly. It is interesting that Winterland June 1977 and Winterland 1973 took about five years to sell out, while the May 1977 box set took less than a year. Judging by eBay prices, the Winterland '77 Box is in much higher demand. This has me thinking they either manufactured an assload of Winterland June 1977 boxes, or the "Limited Edition" marketing scheme is hugely effective. I can't see Pacific Northwest box being on the shelves for more than 6 months after the September 7th release date for the following reasons: * The time of their career it encompasses, '73 / '74 * The 15K Limited Edition production run (a number we know doesn't last too too long) * The fact that it's in the medium to low price range * Its availability for the holiday season * The "word of mouth" advertising this box is sure to get (I believe it's a foregone conclusion that it's going to sound great and contain outstanding performances - we are going to be raving about it after it hits our doorsteps, and if it didn't sell out by then, they will start selling like hotcakes as the holiday season approaches) * The Grateful Dead's back catalogue is arguably in higher demand than ever. Dead & Co's impact, I believe, has contributed greatly to this. Even if one doesn't think there is any relevance there, the fact remains the back catalog is in higher demand than ever based on the increased production numbers of Dave's Picks. So yeah, good times good times. I'm not surprised that this didn't sell out overnight. It's not Europe 72. I think it's most akin to the Dave's Picks yearly subscription sales. We all know the boxes are out there in comparatively high numbers, and we all know the rate at which they're selling. Some of us are taking our time because we have time to take. But the window will shorten once the product hits the street and the holidays are upon us. You can't keep half a dozen brand new releases from one of the Grateful Dead's most cherished eras out of the hands of Deadheads for long. This is not Cornell or Europe 72, but it is also no July 1978 or RFK '89. I think after all is said and done, the Pacific Northwest box may reflect the sales pattern of 30 Trips Around the Sun.

It seems like a band such as UB40 would, at worst, be a fun and and lively way to spend an evening along with a few summery brews. I never really got into them in the 80s either, but I'd still go. A night seeing a mediocre band is still better than most nights. I saw Ziggy Marley a couple years ago at a festival, on a whim, and he was great. So that's totally the same thing right :)

Hey now, haven't posted in a while, but I sure do enjoy the enthusiastic conversations, music wise. I can do without the politics and religion, just like a family dinner :> So psyched for the NW box, my favorite years - 73 my fav, 74 a close second. And I enjoy all the years, all the variations of the band, all the different songs and their permutations, and listen to all the years depending on my mood. I am so excited about listening to three 73 shows on a tour and 3 74 shows on a tour. After this box was announced, I spent time enjoying many of the 73 shows already released, to appreciate the great shows we look forward to. Also listened to the entire Summer 78 box for the third time, what a great box, what great energy. I'm shocked, shocked it has not sold out. Also slowly (over many months) made my way through the TTATS box for the second time, what a great box! I can pick whatever year I am interested in hearing on a given night instantly! How long can I listen to almost all Dead every night and not get bored, as long as I keep switching out the years? I'm not sure, have not reached that bar yet. :> I'm also looking forward to the semi-reunion of the Byrds performing the entire Sweetheart of the Rodeo LP. This was their famous sole country rock collaboration with Gram Parsons, one of my favorite singer songwriters, gone too soon. Me and my sweetheart are going to see their show at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga CA. Got nice seats kinda close along the side. I read the Fare thee Well book. Interesting coverage of business decisions I was not aware of. A nice chronological look at the different band permutations. Interesting perspective on the difference between how Phil wanted to play the songs, and how Bobby did. With some of the fly on the wall stuff I wonder how he could claim accuracy if he was not in the room. Sometimes the gossip helped tell the story, sometimes it was just unpleasant. Nice touch to finish with the successful Fare Thee Well shows in a final up moment. That's all folks! Thanks for all the great conversation and superlative links! nitecat

I was at the Portland 74 show, so that will be thrilling. I heard the Money Money and it was a pretty vicious song. Not surprised they only played it thrice. Now Joel Selvin will have to write an addendum to cover Dead & Company. What a strong stand-out band Bob has put together. My friend was in Eugene, caught that awesome show, he was pretty lucky and surprised at the quality of the show. nitecat

Yeah, bring it on in it’s Full Norman glory. Playing 11-30-80 right now and it’s a grate performance and sounds superb. Gainesville would be grate to fill in the hole between 28 and 30. Consulted DeadBase IX today for some info on Suagaree, but it didn’t have stats on how many times it was in the second slot. So, once again a Bolo stumper. ABB - Bear’s Sonic Journals is showing up as pre-order on Amazon but there is no mention of it on the Owsley or ABB websites. Single CD. Hope that’s a greatest hits release and that there is an official Bear Box of the run. Yeah nitecat, D&C is a decent band, and they keep getting better.

icecrmcnkd, I said you're not welcome here. your own words in your posts here on dead net reveal you to be a prejudiced anti-christian who props up his bigotry by dishonoring abused children: You wrote: "The Vatican is the biggest criminal organization in the history of the human race. A summary, but by no means complete: Excommunicate Galileo because we all know that the sun revolves around the earth. Pay us money to get your relatives out of purgatory. Look the other way while Hitler exterminates an entire race. Look the other way while your own priests molest children. I await the personal attacks......" And then to defend your repulsive bigotry, you wrote: "snafu and LoveJerry Do you know for a fact that I am not one of those children who was molested by a priest?" And then when you were called out on the repulsiveness of your comment about alluding to be one of those children, you tried to take your words back. like a spineless coward you responded by saying: "I never pretended to be one. And my heart goes out to those victims, as well as the ones from Penn State, Ohio State, and anywhere else." Yes, you did pretend to be one. You pretended your bigoted words about Catholics were justified because you were a victim. And then the callous, insincere call out you made to Penn State children. give us a break, if your heart went out to them you wouldn't have used their plight to prop up your prejudiced remarks about Christians. But of course snafu laid your words bare for all to see what a bigot you are, because if your intent was to educate the dead net message board about Catholicism, you would have included snafu's statements as well. no, you are not welcome here. just because you post here a dozen times a day doesn't make it your message board to say whatever you want. it's for grateful dead discussions. you think you're a man? why don't you go interrupt Sunday Mass tomorrow at your local Catholic church and repeat what you said here. The real joke is that you criticize Trump when you're just like him. Bigot

Bertha don't you come 'round here.. anymore. Anymo-ah-ah-ore. Anymore! Goodness.. put it to bed folks. Deep breath.. happy thoughts. Bygones. It's a glorious Saturday night where I sit and all is very, very good with the world. Then you check out dead.net and suddenly you're supposed to be full of piss and vinegar and upset with the world? The rehash is more painful than the original sin. Like gargling with moonshine and broken glass. Can we not relive this every time somebody new turns on their computer and decides they have something more worthless to say than the last person that said something worthless about a silly topic that simply ran astray? Hyperbole be damned.. let it go. Goodness. Wish I hadda listened more what mamma said.. then I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed... Oh and happy day for all those folks in Dodgers Stadium.. As we march down to Fenario..

Since the subject came up, let me brag about my HST collection. I used to put ads in the Aspen times looking for HST material and now I have one of the largest archives in the world, including two of his guns and some original hand edited manuscript from Vegas. I have tons of Steadmas, including five of the original drawings from Vegas. if anyone wants to get a peek at part of my collection, I am thejacka_lope on instagram.

Were you able to get any of his stash before he passed.. I am particularly interested in the antique parts, White Lightning, Blue Cheer, Orange Sunshine.. you know... Speaking of which.. these conversations were more interesting when David Duryea would chime in and flavor the stories with his quirky first accounts of such acts.. See you on the other side David, you are missed. Interesting post, will definitely check our your collection, thanks for making this light and interesting again. #MakeDead.NetInterestingAgain.

Allow me to chime in with a Hunter S. Thompson story. I believe I actually met the man without even knowing it. Back in the late 80's I was a poor starving student, but I took a Greyhound bus to San Francisco to see the opera Othello. I stayed the night in a fleabag hotel in the Tenderloin. Well, after the opera, I couldn't resist the temptation to check out the infamous Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell theater (in the Tenderloin). The gentleman at the admissions told me the cover charge- $40 bucks I think. That was a fortune to me at the time and I balked. After 15 minutes or so I returned and coughed up the admission. The thing is it really struck me that the admissions guy was a dead ringer for Hunter. It seemed weird to me for years after- I mean it couldn't have been him, it didn't make any sense. This was years before the internet. So fast forward to a few years ago and the internet and Wiki. I looked up Hunter and found he DID work the admissions at the O'Farrell at that time. Ha! so the legend sold me a ticket to the O'Farrell! As for the O'Farrell itself at the time? It seemed as crazy as its reputation, but my own encounters there were pretty much PG-13.:( Oh and Katia Ricciarrelli was a lovely Desdemona in Othello. Dang, you gotta love San Francisco!

that's brilliant Jim. I'm the problem because I'm not going to sit back and let some prejudiced jerk spew hatred on these message boards unchecked? And your other masterpiece: "Can we not relive this every time somebody new turns on their computer and decides they have something more worthless to say than the last person that said something worthless about a silly topic that simply ran astray" Since when is it worthless to stand up against religious intolerance? And since when is bigotry a silly topic? I didn't see you say anything to him, yet you practically took out an op ed on me last year for stating I don't like Brent. nice priorities sometimes it's not enough to let it go. sometimes turning a blind eye is complicity. And Vguy - for someone who claims to be raised Catholic, you could have fooled me. that sounds more like some b.s. cover story to tell your religiously offensive joke. got any good ones about jews or women?

you're the troll jim. you tell me i'm wrong no matter what i say. i made a post a few months ago about how i thought the Grateful Dead's 1974 hiatus was more like a breakup and reformation than a simple break in touring. it was a well thought out succinctly stated "opinion", with examples and reasons for why i thought this to be an accurate state of affairs. but still nothing more than an opinion since that's all anyone can really offer here. and you made sure you told me why my opinion was wrong, and you didn't let it go. now of course an opinion piece you respond to, but not outright bigotry and religious intolerance. him you give a break and just let it go. but with me, you never just let it go. that's bullying.

Still super excited for this release, and only two months out from the release date. Not to mention that we get another Dave's Pick in less than a month, and the Anthem 50th anniversary release in less than a week. I was going to pass on the Anthem anniversary release as I already have both the '68 and the '71 mixes on disc, but I couldn't resist the live disc, 'cause I do dig that New Potato Caboose a lot. Saw nitecat's reference to the TTATS box and have to say, I have returned to that box a lot. Most recently gave the 9/18/87 show another spin, one of the few shows that I attended to get an official release, but there are a number of TTATS shows that I have returned to several times, from all eras. Random thought - check out some Kawase Hasui, I don't know if you'll dig his art, but I sure do, some cool images. Shin hanga - check it out, cool stuff to look at and let your mind wander.

This whole thing is very unfortunate. Can we move on, no hard feelings (at least on my end). I am just done with it. Weary, just hoping this non-GD related topic ends. Hope that's ok.. A series of unfortunate events. Stella Blue > SSDD. Quite nice.

The census taker comes to the Goldman house.“Does Louis Goldman live here?” he asks. “No,” replies Goldman. “Well, then, what is your name?” “Louis Goldman.” “Wait a minute–didn’t you just tell me that Goldman doesn’t live here?” “Aha,” says Goldman. “You call this living?” You see? It's a joke. About Jews.

In the beginning God created the Earth and rested. Then God created Man and rested. Then God created Woman. Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.....I call that one a twofer. Don't hit me.

For those of you who follow closely you will remember that I had to sell my 4 Dead & Co tickets to The Eugene show. I have not posted an update, but for those who are interested, I ended up selling them just below face for an overall loss of $75 or so. Of course, I would have much rather have gone to the show but I feel lucky all the same to get most of my money back. Anyways was a little bummed about the whole situation as the closest thing I am getting to the GOGD this summer is a cover band, and I guess arguably that is the same for all of us, although I prefer to think differently of covers who involve core band members....I digress! Anyways, I went to one of those GD cover bands tonight at one of the GDs old stomping grounds, the fabulous Ex-Sandstone Amphitheater in Kansas City, KS. And while none of the original members were present, the music still played the band, and a stompin good time was had by all. There was an impressive crowd at what was essentially a free concert, and I had the pleasure of attending with a whole group of Kansas City Heads that I just met a couple of days before at a 4th of July Party. I wore my “Schwag” T-shirt to that party, and showed up with a gift of July 78 box set on a USB, and well you know the next thing I know I’m partying and singing GD tunes with a bunch of crazy like minded strangers, complete with Spinners. It was nothing short of spectacular...and so I echo to you my friends what we all already know! We are incredibly lucky humans to have tapped into this cosmic vibe and music that we call the Grateful Dead. I continue to be amazed by not only the music, but also by the community. Definitey, Play it loud and play it proud!!! A good night to all....be kind and be well! KCJ PS...the cover band was called “Play Dead”, out of Lawrence, KS.....this is not a plug as honestly I had never heard of them before tonight, but I thought they were awesome...great respect for the original music while also some really nice jams. One memorable moment, 9-10 year old kid right in front of our group jamming out to Sugar Mags>Shakedown Encore...timeless music

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in. ....Seriously. I'm married. It's not a bullshit story.

an epic show from the '78 tour is the latest release from his concert vaults.http://live.brucespringsteen.net/default.aspx I have a lot of strong opinions that provide me many opportunities to decide someone is an asshole. 9 years ago, before I joined the GDM boards, I enthusiastically assumed anyone into the Dead would not fall into my asshole categories. I really miss feeling that way. I have learned more about some of the people who listen to this music with me than I ever wanted to know. I don't enjoy the music as much anymore. It used to evoke thoughts of communal lovefests, now it reminds me of thread-spats. And JiminMD, thanks for being such a peaceful and moderate prescence here.

I've appreciated your comments on The Dead in the past, but I don't get why you feel its up to you to decide who is welcome on here and who isn't. As you say in relation to your views on the Dead's hiatus, you are only voicing your opinions. Its ill advised-if not offensive- for any of us to assume we are speaking on behalf of anyone else.

The 1978 box was immaculately packaged but for some reason it took forever to sell out. Actually, it maybe hasn't but is getting close (I don't really watch sales that much). Anyway, tonight at Red Rocks the Dark Star Orchestra is doing their fine re-creation of 7/8/78. With Donna Jean Godchaux, which is nice for nostalgic reasons and thank god there's no "Playing In The Band" for her to destroy. Forty years after the fact: Bertha Good Lovin' Dire Wolf El Paso It Must Have Been The Roses New Minglewood Blues Ramble On Rose Promised Land Deal Samson And Delilah Ship Of Fools Estimated Prophet The Other One Eyes Of The World Rhythm Devils Space Wharf Rat Franklin's Tower Sugar Magnolia Terrapin Station One More Saturday Night Werewolves Of London That's a hell of a set list! I'm sure at least one of you heads will be there. I'll be the guy in shorts and flip-flops, with a drink in hand (you can't miss me). \m/

Thanks for the Bruce heads-up. I already had the 78 show, but noticed they had the NYE show 1980 at Nassau Coliseum and the 84 show at the Meadowlands. I got them both, let me know if interested S-Man. A quick Bruce story. 1980 NYE, SPRINGSTEEN! We were really up for this show. Some good blotter and we were set. This was after The River was released, Bruce is playing these 3 hours + shows. He breaks about 11:30, everyone was talking like he was coming back for an incredible 3rd set, fuck it's NYE,,, it's the Boss. We take a second hit. Already good at this point, but for a THIRD set!! We needed to be ready. Comes back 15 minute encore, 12:30 ish, he's gone. We walked out tripping balls big time. Now the drive home back to Jersey. My wife will tell you she still doesn't know how I managed that drive. I just remember watching the speedo and keeping it between the lines. A night we still remember 40 years later. (the show not so much :-), but the drive home,,, like in the dead movie,,, Oh, Wow!

CaseyJanes - sorry to hear you didn't get all the $ back on your tix. Sounds like the cover band was fun. I saw a Dead cover band in Nashville last night...7 Deadly 5...was anyone else there? They were really good and I encourage anyone nearby to check them out on Wednesday July 18 at the same place - The Springwater. They played a great Smokestack Lightnin' to open the second set. I did not wear my Schwag t-shirt to the show, but I should have. I love Schwag...they were playing just outside the hotel I stayed at before the first night of Fare Thee Well in Santa Clara. They were kind of similar to 7 Deadly 5 in that there were 4 members. Schwag had guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard. 7 Deadly 5 has two guitars, bass and drums. I got a very cool Schwag t-shirt that looks like an orange pack of Zig-Zags. One last thing regarding 7Deadly5 - they're even better when the keyboard player and percussionist show up, so let's hope for that on the 18th. And holler if you see me there - I'll be the one wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a drink in my hand....oh wait....
