    @ I got a pickle...I gotta pickle today hey hey...
    The sun will come out tomorrow... All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dream Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you Just like little girls and boys Playing with their little toys Seems like all they really were doing Was waiting for you Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real From this moment on I know Exactly where my life will go Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for love Don't need to be afraid No need to be afraid It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real Thought I'd been in love before, But in my heart I wanted more Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love Yes it's real, yes it's real love It's real, yes it's real love...

    @As Buhwheat used to say......
    .....HERE I IS,,,,,,,!!!! Tomorrow.....God willin and the creek don't rise...... When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed I went insane, Like a smoke ring day When the wind blows Now I won't be back till later on If I do come back at all But you know me, and I miss you now. In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me When the change came, And you had a Chance to see through me Though the other side is just the same You can tell my dream is real Because I love you, can you see me now. Though we rush ahead to save our time We are only what we feel And I love you, can you feel it now.

    @ Wish You Were Here
    Remember the old days when I met you. I never thought I would get you. Remember the good times we shared together, and now they're just a song. Remember the first time that I saw you. Remember the first time that I taught you. Remember the old friends we knew together, and how they've all gone on. Well we danced by the light of the moon. The band kept on playing that tune. You asked me to carry you home, we were alone. And then I saw moonlight dance in your hair. Now I'll never, never, never see it again. No I'll never, ever, ever have it again. It's gone, just like the song that lives on. Doesn't it seem like the right time. I wanna go way back through my lifetime. Gotta go way back and re-live those days, when everything was mine. Doesn't it seem like a long ways. Back through the fog and the byways. Doesn't it seem strange it took so long, but I saw it all today. The moon through the trees did go down. The snowflakes had covered the ground. Morning left moonlight behind; day was unkind. But then I saw lovelight dance in your hair. Ah I'll never, never, never see it again. I'll never, ever, ever have it again. Oh no, just the snow and I know.

    @Dark Side of the Moon.....
    Come a little bit closerHear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away. But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon. When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart. But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eye. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon.

    @ Moons over My Hammy
    hehehe One two three four Never been anywhere, south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu Livin' is fantasy, travelin' mentally Makin' up tunes in hotel rooms 'Bout places I've never been to Though I've never crooned under a Kentucky moon I had my dream, Kentucky moon But it's all imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize, what I've never seen? But I had my dream, Kentucky moon Route sixty six to me is still a mystery And Ohio, too Went Chicago blue down to St. Louis blues Never been anywhere, south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu But I can visualize, what I've never seen? So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon As I sit by a stream in the moon But it's just imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize, what I've never seen? So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon

    @How 'bout this.....Miami?
    Moon over miami,Shine on my love and me, So we can stroll beside the roll, Of the rolling sea. Moon over miami, Shine on as we begin, A dream or two that may come true, When the tide comes in. Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours, Hark to the throbbing guitars, Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause, After each song to the stars. Moon over miami, You know we're waiting for, A little love, A little kiss On miami shore.

    In this life I've seen everything I can see womanI've seen lovers flying through the air Hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen kings and queens from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides And I've seen pigs all sitting watching Picture slides But I never seen nothin' like you. [Chorus] Do ya want my love Do ya want my face Do ya want my mind Do ya want my love Well I heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang auld lang syne by the light Of the moon I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums And I heard the police playin' with their guns But I never heard nothing like you In the country where the sky touches down On the field she lay her down to rest In the morning sun They come a runnin' just to get a look just to Feel to touch her long black hair they don't Give a damn [Chorus] Well I think you know what I'm trying to say Woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know That i've got to get it all to get it all to grow

    Well, while were at it...I'm crying Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Picture yourself on a train in a station With Plasticine porters with looking-glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds [fade out]

Tom...glad you're back on the bus. Klangstone stole the keys and left a holy mess though. I'll take the wheel for a few weeks, we also have Miami on board. Gonna drop Mr. Fonts in Atlanta tomorrow. We will be in Burgettstown before you know it, SPAC and shithole arena in Camden on the radar. Citi still a hope and a dream. No Chicago here, re. Wrigley....after FTW I swore off of massive cattle call shows. Smaller venues and Vegas and Cap Theater Phil for me from now on. Take care, love to you and yours... Dammit Klangstone take your donut boxes with you next time....

no one stole any dus...Our west coast mayor was duly authorized to drive on the west coast shows, and he left the dack of ba dus pretty clean. The snacks were labelled clearly, unfortunately, bogs can't reab and next thing you know was Sarge got ahold of that ziplock of drownies, he tore into the dox of bonuts and left a royal mess. Ralph said he would take care of the mess, but then the psychedelic squirrels showed up wanting directions back to FTW, and one thing led to another. Just wanted to set the recorb straight, so no-one started a recall movement or anything. Peace, and be kind Ralph.

Hey now and greets, y'all from the ATL. After a 3 outta 4 screamin' sets in Mountain View (Sun nite set one was awful), the boys are now east and we'll be at Lakewood Amphitheater tomorrow night. Weather looks to be cooperating so fingers-crossed they come in ready to serve-up some good ole southern hospitality. BTW, Sat nite at Boulder was amazing. FOD on acoustics - LOVED IT!!!

Great show, got an Easy Wind, Throwing Stones and a belated Flag Day Liberty. Highlight was Lil John doing his best David Lindley falsetto Stay imitation on The Wheel. Only gripe Pennsylvanias 5 0. For Chrissakes, you think El Chappo was in attendance. What a bunch of tools. ASL and Roadking, Enjoy Fenway kids! as an aside, a few weeks ago on another subform my concern that setlists have stagnated since 10/2015.... To quote Rosanne Rosanadana...."nevermind"

Hey rgerrgelis et alii, Glad to hear the feared cloud of stagnation is lifting so more and more spontaneity can seep into Dead & CO '17. You could tell from the nugs tease last night that Burgettstown was going new places (I'd love to hear the whole show). And those Boulder shows were definitely high in the Rockies. Looks like a few clouds may keep temps down in Boston so y'all can better meld with the music. Onward Daydreamers!

Onward y'all! BTW: Bit the bullet and got a brand new Oat Cart last week with mucho mas "After Midnight Oat-age". Just love that "new cart smell!"

A good time was had by all, in spite of the lawn area being oversold by three-fold, in my opinion. And the brief summer shower, even as the horizon cleared for the sunset, came just as Bobby reached the crescendo on Looks Like Rain; perfectly timed. As a 50th birthday present we brought some friends to their first exposure of any kind to this world. They had a blast. And made so memorable for the incident of the friendly fellow who approached us early in the first set and asked if he could leave his Birkenstocks under our beach chairs. We then proceeded to share some of what he grows himself, and did not see him again until the end of intermission. He was OVERJOYED to find us and his sandals. Our friends now have an indelible impression of the nature of interactions between Heads. By now you will have heard of the continuing modifications to the treatments of the old song pairs: China and Rider as bookends to the set rather than a doublet: anything is possible. And what Mr. Mayer did with Deal was epic. EP-IC.

Thanks for sharing Graceful Tom. Those kind of tales just don't come across in the streams & downloads. What a just exactly perfect 50th BD celebration for your lucky friends – sounds like they're now on the bus. And speaking of "bus", where's Geomeister? Anybody spot him at any of the shows? To everybody in Bristow, enjoy the ride tonight. Looks like it'll be cooling off by showtime and the rain will hold off til after midnight (but who'd notice anyway!) Onward!

two very solid shows at Citi and Camden, on to Ohio and Chitown x2... this band has flashes of brilliance...

Yeah, I saw flashes.Or heard. Or something. Before the Camden show the band wrote on Twitter “You know what they say about Sunday shows.” Everyone was waiting for Samson, as on the previous 3 Sundays: didn't happen. But Brokedown Palace has now been played 3 times, each as a Sunday encore. Hmmm.. To me there is no mistaking "They Love Each Other" as a Sunday-theme song. And maybe it's a stretch, but Big Boss Man is fitting. But what about those stained-glass themed graphics? I would not know if they have been used all summer, but it did not seem like a a coincidence.

What a spot on post....the past two nights were magical, something about this band has changed, it has truly evolved...they are no longer the cover band I thought they would become, they have carried these songs we all know to a new level. I thought for sure set 2 first beats was going to be Samson....but Iko with Cowboy Bob on tambourine? C'mon.... TLEO touched my heart....as did the Brokedown encore.... ...never miss a Sunday show, indeed.....

I can't attend any this year. I have caught a couple via the magic of streaming, but thanks to all of you, I can also feel them. I am grateful for that.Party on Wayne. PS Blossom, the venue in Ohio is a wonderful place to see a show. Really wish I could get there in person!

My mom had the nerve to be born 90 years ago this weekend, so altho I'll be in Dallas feting our grande dame, I'll be sneaking peeks at all the hi-brow banter from this board during the shows. I'll just have to listen after the Wheel's covered just a little more ground. Have a blast and remember "The Pic-A-Nic", whatever that means . . . Onward.

Jeff I streamed entire show from the recliner. It was a marathon where second set more than compensated for the first. A 17 minute Sugaree that made me feel like I was wading thru a sea of Vaseline, but that could have been the marijuana minutes kicking in. Bobby walked off stage mid UJB reprise to end first set, and sort of apologized for it. Bertha was as tasty as new coke can be. I have to stop comparing this iteration to any prior though, as you well know "nothing compares to the real thing". I really, really miss Jerry. He's the real thing, baby. Hey Miami, Happy Birthday have a great show, you know its gonna get stranger.

I really enjoyed the entire show. Bertha still makes me dance every time i hear it.My wife reminded me how much I disliked shakedown street when the vinyl LP came out in 78 or 79. It is one of many songs that I didn't really "get" until I heard it live. Love it now. Oteill on China Doll was excellent. Let Oteill sing, indeed. Can't really think of a low point...music never stopped was just OK in my opinion, if i had to single out something. I really liked STOM. I watched STOM from 7-4-15 right after...gotta say, preferred last night's version. I liked what they did with Me and my uncle. everything.
