Whatever the current version of Furthur is up to, discuss it here!

Furthur was exploring new galaxies in mysoul with me last night. I heard the second
set and the universe was shrunk to the size
of a pin head and at that I jumped in to the
abyss of what going forward entails.
The house is filled with roses.
God Bless the Streamer...maybe they
will be there for tonight's show.
To Furthur:
You all are so talented and make this
music so amazingly! I love hearing all
the present day and traditionally-styled
soul-speaking, mind-bending, infinite-
emotion with hot-booty-shaking rock-n-roll.
It's the Some of Best Music in the World !
Rock On and Keep On Smiling, xo!
You've carried me and that's priceless.
I needed to say thanks a trillion, xo!
You all have filled my Dad's home with
best that was so excellent, everything
was excellent. He thought your music
was great! So, thanks another trillion for
making him so happy. I would dance whilest
doing chores and such. His love will be
everlasting and could only wish you all the
very best of everything for you all. He
thought the Grateful Dead was one of the
Greatest Bands of All Time! We are inseparable,
with in so many Dead songs (Arrrooooooo!)
May every good wish be at your feet or
perfectly at the tip of your nose....you'll have to
look twice to acknowledge it. More love soon...
and don't forget, I love you, ALL, xo~~~~

Sweetwater Furthur Wednesday
Wow, really great seeing the boys all bunched up on that little stage. Very nice webcast. The first song i caught was the Deal. Then Bobby crooning Black-Throated Wind. Gotta love it.
There definitely is a difference with them in close proximity, at least to my ears.
Check them out if you have the notion.
Sweetwater, Night One
Here's a link to video of the first set from last night:

Sweetwater!
Big fun at the new Sweetwater last night with Furthur. It was great seeing them in such a small venue - capacity is only 313! I don't think anyone was more than 50 feet from the low stage. Kinda felt like I was back at the Keystone in Berkeley during the JGB days, except the Sweetwater is cleaner with a better sound system. Although I did like the free popcorn at the Keystone!
The show was on the mellow side for the most part. The vibe in the room was palpably joyful, everyone having a real good time. Phil had a big smile on his face most of the night, John seemed to be enjoying his solos. Nice "kumbaya" moments, especially during "I Know You Rider," when the whole crowd pretty much took over the lead vocals.
Looking forward to the streams for the next three shows.

The Sweetwater Show was Super!
I haven't the sentences
I wish for so...
just
don't forget, xo.
Sweetwater Furthur Thursday
Lots of nice jamming tonight. Mind boggling tangent on Doin' That Rag. Really nice.
This night brings me moments of missing Jerry (as all Furthur shows do). The ineffable non-presence of the spoon that stirred the pot.
Still I am grateful for this -- rolling into Watchtower from Stagger Lee now. Enjoy!

THANK YOU ALL!
For all the all of it all.
It's been so endearing for me,
I didn't dance much this time around
but laying on the speakers made
for permanent contentment.
That's plenty for me.
May lovingkindness and good fortune be
ever returning to you, all, xo. What goes
around does come around, so enjoy it.
Back of my memory is still troubling me but
this has helped me so much and the miracles
of tomorrow are at my door...today.
I love you, ALL, xo.
Sweetwater afterglow
What a wonderful run of shows at the Sweetwater! The folks in the band played and sang their hearts out. It was an absolute treat to see and hear them play in such an intimate and friendly venue. Leaving the building after the show, I experienced the same sense of satisfaction and wonder that I used to feel exiting Winterland, Kaiser, the Greek, etc. I am truly grateful that Phil and Bobby have assembled the talent to continue bringing us all the sweet music that has been branded onto our DNA for decades now.
To the Furthur naysayers out there: you're missing something special, because the MUSIC never stopped.
Second that Emotion
Bolo!
This was different than playing in front of 10k varied people. So many thanks to the band for letting us all in on it!
Takin' us Furthur
I must concur all folks out there that haven't seen Furthur in the past three years are missin' out. I've seen nearly every new incarnation - The Dead - Phil & Friends- RatDog... and to my mind this is the one that gets me to the closest I've been to what Jerry once described as "Little Golden yummies that last for moments on end" or something to that affect. It's that thing that comity and conne ction,,The spiritual Big O that kept us all addicted to the Show! I'm jonesin' just thinking about it.We here in the South feel a bit gipped at times. Hope to see some FL. and Atl. shows on the summer sched. Till then I'll have to be content to see Warren and the Bros at Wanee next month. Also NMA, Galactic...

In my opinion, this night was so special, great setlist. Kadlecik was kicking on his new kustom guitar,a real beauty. His vocals on "Reuben and Cherise" were out of this world. "Built to last" done real well. Kadlecik was kind of taking over this night when Bobby was kind of in his own world. I think I had better get a CD of this Show. How good are the CDs done by the company that records them and sells them on the Furthur website? Jim
Meadowbrook Pavillion, Guilford NH
After checking Furthur's web page this morning and seeing that the summer tour will be going as scheduled I bought my ticket for Meadowbrook Amphitheatre.
If you are going to this show you should know that they've changed policies and that it costs money to park:
$5 to choke in the dust on the pavement
$20 for premium parking on the grass
$40 for VIP parking
I opted for lawn seats and premium parking. The only good thing I can say is that it only costs $1.50 for total service charges that get you hard tickets mailed to you.
Once again hoping that Bob has a good rest during his time off and is back on his game this summer!
Shows added
At Interlocken in September must bode well for Bob's recovery. Lets hope so.

Hey now! Talking about trips...
Help get the message out, if you can.
Furthur is bound for Cooperstown, NY...
This Upstate NY Venue just miles from where
the severe flooding occurred.
The amount of debris and household waste
is tremendous, folks are exhausted too.
Please if you can- sher this:
Please take your trash with you when you
leave, plan smart for recycling and minimal waste.
I am praying with great supplication that
the Historic and Excellent town of
Cooperstown shall not suffer our arrival
or departure. It's so special and it's kept
clean and quaint and a true it's heritage.
It's all about Baseball and the perfect
embrace of entertaining ourselves with this
things we love best.
Thanks in advance if you sher this. I am
always proud of music but not the mess and
these communities have been hit really hard.
Love one another...
XO

Oh and,yeah...
Check for detours, most are only
a few miles others more lengthy.
No worries a detour can and will
get you there.
Get a fill up for gas about 30
miles outside Cooperstown as it
will be difficult to gas in the
town of Cooperstown; you will be
glad you did, xo (love you, all)
Cooperstown is not a city and a
small town, to be sure.
Get a parking spot where ever you
can and wear walking shoes.
Stop in Schildman's Bakery for
a baked-perfect treat, if you can.
Go early and tour...
The Baseball Hall of Fame, it's awesome
and air-conditioned-
No place like it in the World!
Enjoy a beer at the pub and wet yer
whistle; the beers always cold.
Everything is beautiful in Cooperstown.
The pier has a big lawn for hanging out.
Stagecoach Coffee House is one of my
most favorite places to go when I am
there. When my John would receive
medical treatment at Bassett Hospital
we would go there and it is the best.
Old fashioned and serene, this place
takes the world away. Pastries and
sandwiches delicious, get one for after
the show.
Cooperstown is one of my Favorite places,
to be sure.
I love you, all, xo!
have a good show at Meadowbrook!
Had to sell my ticket to go to the other side of the planet.

Great set of set-lists!
I just heard that last night
achieved some kinda cosmic
lift off. Sweet words
indeed!
Rock ON Furthur!
Love to you-all, xo!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Furthurs Hiatus and Remaining Dates
Furthur has announced it's 2014 hiatus and Phil has just stated that he is "Off the bus" after 48 years of touring. It seems while there is a chance of more Furthur shows in 2015 and beyond the great wheel of time (Kalachakra in Tibetan tantrism) is spinning.
What really needs to be stated is a big Thank You! to Bob & Phil, Jeff & JK and the rest of the crew for the incredible # of shows they did in almost 5 years! On the Internet Archive there are 1050 shows listed (some of those are multiple recordings for the same date).
4,743,365 shows have been downloaded from Archive. I believe all should acknowledge that this is a pretty formidable and prodigious amount of music for the remaining members of the band in their sixties and seventies. Really a remarkable body of work for folks who deserved to be in retirement. You might not have liked them for whatever reason. God knows I had some issues with who is singing whose song. But in the end you just have to step back and applaud and be grateful.
The following dates are scheduled in 2014: 4 shows in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico in mid-January. 1975 all over again? I don't think so, but who knows?
Thank you Furthur, for a real good time!
Playa Del Carmen
Furthur's upcoming "last stand" at an all-inclusive resort is pretty pricey. But for what I'm looking at during this week's pro golf match there, it IS a beautiful place! Have fun y'all!
Shows attended
I went to most Furthur shows held in Portland and Eugene.
