It’s Halloween — did I spook you? I just want everyone to know that I’m okay and I was sad to have to miss the ending last night. I wasn’t feeling well and the show must go on. On my way home, I took a little detour to the hospital but the diagnosis was simply that I returned to the road a little too soon and we’ve been touring just a little too hard. I needed more rest, so I’m going to get it now and be back full steam ahead to jam with all of you in Mexico. I can’t wait.
I'm not sure what to think. I don't believe that they'd release anywhere near the full details of what's going on with Billy K. (partly for his privacy and all that, which is completely understandable). I'm guessing Billy was tentative for the show and tried to make a go of it. He made it almost until the end. They obviously had Jay in LA and backstage ready to play at any time.
As for Mickey, I also wonder what's going on with him. Why couldn't he just finish the show himself (same for the Colorado shows)? He's not really fully drumming a lot of time, just adding percussion with those funky sticks he has. Sometimes when the camera gets on him, he's not doing much to add to the sound. I'm wondering if Mickey just doesn't have it in him for a full drumming show, or just doesn't want to do that right now, or anymore.
And, not to judge these guys at all. I can't imagine what it's like for touring musicians and especially at their age, and after the hard lifestyles they led.

Mickey Hart is not a play the time drummer. He is not a set the tempo and hold the rhythm drummer. He shines most when he is playing fills and polyrhythmic off beats. Yes he can play the rhythm, but that is really Billy K.'s domain. That man is a human Metronome.
Molo doesn't swing. He's fine with Phil, Jay was great. Last nights show was nothing short of epic. And Friday was otherworldly good. Love Phil but his pickup bands got nothing on DeadCo.
"Brother Weir with the Indiana Jones hat on..." :-) Jamal's review is fun, he is very perceptive of the show as an event happening on many different levels.

Hmm wondering if seeing us in Mexico suggests no NYE announcement? If they do it they will drop the news this week, almost certainly...
Also, heal up old man!
