    @ Happy Hour Indeed
    Headed down the street after work for a Happy Hour with my co-workers. Going to a Vodka Bar called Subzero. They have a bar made of ice like a hockey rink to keep your drink ice cold. Party time in 25 minutes Wanna tell you a story, About the house-man blues I come home one Friday, Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job She said that don't confront me, Long as I get my money next Friday Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent, And out the door I went So I goes to the landlady, I said, "You let me slide?" I'll have the rent for you tomorrow Or the next day I don't know So said let me slide it on you know people, I notice when I come home in the evening She ain't got nothing nice to say to me, But for five year she was so nice Lord she was lovey-dovey, I come home one particular evening The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?", I said, "No, can't find no job, Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent" She said "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job" Said "I seen you today you was standin' on a corner, Leaning up against a post" I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day" She said "That don't confront me, Long as I get my money next Friday" Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent, And out the door I went So I go down the streets, Down to my good friend's house I said "Look man I'm outdoors you know, Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?" He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife" He come out of the house, I could see it in his face I know that was no He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know" I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too" So I go back home I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent She said "Yeah?" I said "Oh yeah" And then she was so nice, Lord, she was lovey-dovey So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go, I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent, She ain't gonna get none of it So I stop in the local bar you know people, I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there So what you want? One bourbon, one scotch, one beer Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when, I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin Gonna get high man, I'm gonna get loose, Need me a triple shot of that juice Gonna get drunk, don't you have no fear I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer But I'm sitting now at the bar, I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer Looked down the bar, here come the bartender I said "Look man, come down here" So what you want? One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No, I ain't seen my baby since the night before last, Gotta get a drink man, I'm gonna get gassed Gonna get high man, I ain't had enough, Need me a triple shot of that stuff Gonna get drunk, won't you listen right here, I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer Now by this time I'm plenty high, You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high Looked down the bar I say to my bartender I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there So what you want this time? I said "Look man, a-what time is it?" He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock. Last call for alcohol, so what you need?" One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No, I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' on a week, Gotta get drunk man, so I can't even speak Gonna get high man, listen to me, One drink ain't enough Jack, you better make it three I wanna get drunk, I'm gonna make it real clear, I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

    Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Miami, Goodnight Geeky!!!!! Cya on the flip side ...... Well this gigolo's jumping salty, ain't no trade out on the streets, Half past the unlucky, and the hawk's a front-row seat Dressed in full orchestration, stage-door Johnny's got to pay, And sent him home talking 'bout the one that got away Could have been on Easy Street, could have been a wheel, With irons in the fire and all them business deals But the last of the big-time losers shouted before he drove away, "I'll be right back, as soon as I crack the one that got away" Well, the ambulance drivers, they don't give a shit, They just want to get off work, and The short stop and the victim are already gone berserk And the shroud-tailor measures him for a deep-six holiday, The stiff is froze, the case is closed on the one that got away Now Jim Crow's directing traffic with them cemetery blues, With them peculiar-looking trousers, them old Italian shoes And a wooden kimono that was all ready to drop in San Francisco Bay But he's mumbling something all about the one that got away And Costello was the champion at the St. Moritz Hotel, And the best this side of Fairfax, reliable sources tell But his reputation is at large, and he's at Ben Frank's every day, Waiting for the one that got away He got a snakeskin sportshirt, and he looks like Vincent Price, With a little piece of chicken, and he's carving off a slice Someone tipped her off, and she'll be doing a Houdini now any day She shook his hustle, and a Greyhound bus'll take the one that got away Well, Andre's at the piano behind the Ivar in the sewers, With a buck a shot for pop tunes, and a fin for guided tours He could-a been in "Casa Blanca", he stood in line out there all day Now he's spilling whiskey and learning songs about a one that got away Well I've lost my equilibrium and my car keys and my pride, The tattoo parlor's warm, and so I hustle there inside And the grinding off the buzz-saw, "What you want that thing to say?" I says, "Just don't misspell her name, buddy, she's the one that got away"

suffice it to say that we are rolling.... rolling right along So glad that liketohike and Ozark hopped on, it appears that Stella Moon has awakened from her golden slumbers and Mayor Klangstone is in for another go around. It's good to know they are still alive and well. So without further adieu I will turn the driving over to Miami, you'll be in good hands with Miami, she's an excellent driver and buys all her underwear at K Mart (or so I'm told). I'm headed to the back with Mr. Trump and watch him drain the swamp, who knows, maybe I can land a cabinet position? Sarge, put on the TV....5 minutes to Wapner. Coffee's on...

...a great trio of ways to get around, but seems rampant discrimination against buses. "Texas Daydreamer enjoys reading of all plans to attend events in 2017..." reads the local fish-wrap, "...makes further plans to decorate couch and enjoy shows from comfort of home." Wishing all of you and yours pleasant scrambling for tickets, rides, flights, rooms and what-nots. Don't forget your towel, and have a grateful day.

Hey now geomeister! So glad you graced us with your presence. The collective conscience of the Dead community is alive and well. Be sure to know you will travel with me in spirit at each and every show I happen upon, promise. It will never be the extravagance of FTW but I am sure there will be more laughs, smiles, hugs and twirls ahead in this journey of life after Jerry. It's funny how every time a new tour is announced, we all come out of hibernation. Feel free to wander about ba dus, grab a cup of coffee and tap your foot to the tunes, Sarge is cueing up some Old and In the Way for you now, is Midnight Moonlight ok? Thought so. There's a seat next to Ivanka back to the right, come to think of it the whole Trump clan is sitting on the right, I wonder why? Hey Donald, get your head back in the window, if that squirrel blows off your dome again, I swear I'm not going back for it this time, and STOP tweeting, it's unprofessional.

Hey! I can offer my thoughts having seen Bob and his band in Cincinatti in January. Our show was about 1/2 acoustic and 1/2 electric. It, of course, featured a lot of songs from the Blue Mountain album. Bob also did some of the Dead songs that lent themselves to acoustic play. For the electric part, he had the guys from the National. They do OK. Some of the more traditional GD songs were good, but, and I hope this is not bad to say, I don't think they are quite strong enough musicians to pull off the improvisation that makes some songs "Dead" songs. They attempted Dark Star at our show and I felt that it sorely needed a lead guitar. But... overall it was great. It's always a treat to see Bob live in any context. I like the cowboy stuff so I was happy to hear those live. And, being with all of our brothers and sisters again is always a joy! Here is the setlist from my show: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bob-weir/2017/proctor-and-gamble-hall-cin… Enjoy the show! Peace, -Dave

Matt I am sure you will see a solid show. Circumstance and work commitments prevented me from attending the Ryman show last October, but liketohike and hubby were there and I am told it was very good. As Dave said, it's the players, the National, while good are not suited for the extended jams, last month Bobby filled in for Dave Nelson and his band on tour in Alaska, he played half Blue Mountain, and half Dead, the Dead and solo stuff was amazing thanks to the backing players....Pete Sears and Barry Sless on pedal steel made the music alive...I don't know who Bobby will have but you will enjoy yourself.... stay well

thanks for the insight. that is about what i expected from what i've read. currently listening to a show from last october...not bad. i, too, have always liked cowboy bob, so, one way or another, this will be a show. weir with dave nelson sounds awesome. i'll see if i can find that anywhere.

The show was really good. Song selection WAS excellent, execution excellent, some nice jams. as you and Rich suggested, it would be a good, solid show...and it was good to good very good, and some moments really shined. Deep Ellum Blues was a rave-up, especially as the venue was about a mile from the original Deep Ellum section of Dallas. GDTRFB was probably my highlight, my wife really appreciated Easy to Slip. STOM plodded a bit IMO, Althea was uneven but good. The crowd turned Truckin into a sing along and drowned out the band. it was fun bt I can't tell you if was good or not. Bob stepped up to the mike and just ignored the lyric "Dallas!"..it seemed spontaneous. This show seemed to have more "red dirt" west Texas influence in the Blue Mountain songs than what I've sampled on YouTube. "When in Rome...", I guess. There was a new song they played that was more jazz-blues than west Texas..I'll have to figure out which it was...that was my "new" song highlight. I think by the end of the tour they'll stretch it out to a nice jam. I, too, was a little disappointed in the lead guitar work. I've heard Kimock before, and liked him, but last night, something was just not there for me. He was not bad at all...he just was not exceptional. I know it is not fair to hold Garcia, or even Anastasio or Mayer, as the standard when listening to Dead songs, but I do. So that is the context in which I say he was not exceptional. All in all...I've seen Weir as the Bob Weir band way long ago, Ratdog in many of its lineups, and then last night...last night was certainly the most unique, and maybe the most enjoyable of maybe 10 or 12 Bobby-led shows I've been. I would certainly go again. The venue's acoustics are exceptional, too, so that made it that much better.

glad you liked the show, reviews I've read were positive...there will never be another Jerry, so we may as well stop the comparisons... On a different note Matt, ever try Brother Thelonius White Belgian Ale....although I prefer IPA's, this California brew is kick ass in taste as well as ABV, over 9 percent.... Regards to the missus, our birthdays are right around the virtual corner.... be well....
