That’s it folks! First show is under their belts and I think we’ll be hearing a LOT more about this tour as it goes on. GDRadio.net is streaming already and i’m sure will start seeing numerous sources on bt.etree.org and archive.org in the next few hours.
Were you there? Post your thoughts in the comments!
grate first set to kick off the tour!! cant wait to listen to it!!
Listening on GD radio, Sweeeeeeet!!! Thanks Landskip,
Peace,
thanks for keeping us updated jay!
sweet list! Can’t wait for Philly and then LA… See y’all there!
I was there. Nice scene in the lot, very relaxed with a variety of food, beer and Deadhead crafts available. No hassles with the law or venue staff that I saw. It took a long time to get inside; my group missed the start of Music. They started playing pretty soon after the official start time, so don’t linger in the lot TOO long when the doors open! For me the show kicked in with Estimated. HG>Touch was received with great emotion. Miracle has never been one of my fave tunes, but this one went some interesting places. Shakedown was hot!! Watchtower was great, and then… back to 1968… wow, how many people in that room had ever heard a live Caution, Cosmic Charlie AND New Potato before? Can’t have been many… Was Bill okay there? He had to take a little break from Rhythmic Devilry… somebody brought him water and somebody else came up to give him a hug? But he got right back into it. Help>Slip>Franklin’s to close the set was huge and strong. Phil was greeted with a serious roar when he came out to give the donor rap, and he seemed touched. Easter Sunday closed out with a Bible story and a group bow as we cheered and cheered… folks, see this tour. This one is for real.
For over a week and a half I had not gone to Archive (or anywhere else — GD radio?) to listen to a show. I didn’t have a huge interest… I didn’t think they’d be that great. But then I got the Greensboro soundboard — Soooooooo much better than I thought it was going to be! I just posted (a few days ago now) the SOUNDBOARD mp3 files for folks to download. Wish I was there. Greensboro, I’m guessing, would be one of the most laid back lot scenes on the tour. That aside, great tunes inside! I’m looking forward to listening to and posting as many of the soundboards as I can get to!
