Man, I have to say, the opening PITB (not counting the Good Times warmup) was exceptional. The PITB jamming opened up into Miles Davis territory once they got into it with the D minor. John Mayer has clearly been listening to some of the right stuff from late 72, and I can tell you that Billy Strings cannot do what Mayer can do in these electric jams, straight up. That was some pretty dynamite playing, and only the second song into the tour! Oteil was fluid and jazzy as could be, Billy sounded great, Chimenti interacted perfectly with Mayer, and yes they fell back into lethargic tempo land for Stranger, but again that PITB is the stuff we want. It’s in the free Nugs preview that anyone can see. Go and check out that PITB.
Getting in the door for $31 and having free rein of much better seats>>>
Hundreds of $31 tickets, many good locations in the lower bowl, for Sunday July 10 @ The Bank(Phillies Park). Weekend show for cheap, could be time to check out Bob & Co for the first time.
Good timing for YouTube to have added a custom speed adjustment option. 1.3x works pretty well for that Jack Straw
Or just listen to the one I posted in the other thread from Lockn 2017, where Bob sat in with JRAD and they almost made his head explode with their tempo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQw8tCJXgKY
> a couple of teens saying how excited they are to see their 'First Grateful Dead Concert"
I see a lot of that kind of magical thinking on Reddit, but then they also post a lot of pics over there of stuff they bought to show the world how heady they are.
Exactly we haven't even seen the post core four super group yet. Mayer, Strings, Burbridge, Chimenti, Russo, and Molly Tuttle. That would sell out a few sheds every summer.
Odd that Mayer would be the one bouncing out, by choice or not, particularly after saying he loves it and is in for the long haul.
In other news, I was in a grocery store this morning and one of his queer love songs came on the feed. Shit stuck in my head (disaster!) and when I hear a younger female employee humming it later on I say, "too bad that shitty song sticks in our heads." She agreed. LOL
I too think that no one under 50 should listen to the Dead and that Phil, Bobby, Billy and Mickey should retire and stop playing any kind of music whatsoever.
I wonder if Mayer leaves DeadCo if Phil will snap him up for a run of shows? Never forget Phil being in the throes of musical ecstasy when he played with Mayer a few years ago. And he's gotten better with the material since then.
I think Bobby's going to pull in Billy Strings next. He did Billy K's birthday shows in Hawaii as well as the Red Rocks shows and he's been popping up with Weir occasionally at Sweetwater.
I'll go out on a limb and predict some Deadheads will love it and some will absolutely despise it and opine for the good 'ol days of Jerry.

I bumped into a few dozen fans touring the Stanford campus today (and yesterday at a ball game)
I was kinda surprised that there are many people on Dead and Co tour. A few from Salt Lake City, but mostly New Yorkers
And also surprised hearing a couple of teens saying how excited they are to see their 'First Grateful Dead Concert"
all a bit weird

Some nice jams. Drummers mostly kept track of The 1.
