Dead & Company City of Brotherly Love 7/10/22

Forums:

It's on.  I was headed North and saw too many Deadheads at the rest stops.  So I followed the stickers and ended up in Philly.  No Phil in Philly, but these guys will have to do.  Gonna get my Tai Chi on tonight!

Haha!!!! Good one.. enjoy!! 

swing-style

All Along The Watchtower

Here Comes Sunshine

Bobby's voice is still strong and enjoyable. He still sounds like he did in the 80's.

 

Looks like rain

 

 

Enjoy Trailhead!smiley

To varying degrees I can deal with most of Weir's slower tempos, but I think the slower shuffle take on Truckin' really works.

Every time I hear it played at that tempo it reminds me of the first time I heard it played that way, at the '02 Bridge Benefit show at Shoreline.

I had just finished listening to the Giants lose the 7th game of the World Series and The Dead had just started. I walked into the bowl for their set feeling rather despondent and they were playing Truckin', and it was just sort of a perfect way for me to mourn. I've liked it that way ever since.

And this one today sounded good.

And damn, Mayer really ripped up that Watchtower, and overall this all sounds really good.

Far out.

Nice LLR !

Nice Pic Lance !!

Eases The pain still Recovering From Heart Surgery

and to go along

a sip of jack

a beer 

and a bowl 

Take care and easy Plf! Don't over do it! You just had a major event happen!!

Mayer is really ripping on everything today. They're all playing really well, enough to keep me listening, which is not normal.

And I don't know for sure, but I'd have to say that Lane is drumming again. As much as I love Billy, his playing has devolved to a point where he just sort of taps along, not able to do much of anything beyond that. Lane isn't my favorite drummer, but he brings more punch & dynamic to the sound, and can throw in a few actual fills here & there, which helps since Mickey is a complete non-factor in everything but the drums/space.

From what I've heard they've sounded good this whole tour, but this is likely the best show so far. 

Aw Rob be well

I mean I guess we can listen since I can't find a Phil stream 

I'm getting 80s music lol

Could it be set break?

At Foxboro during Encore Knocking on heaven's door they showed a picture of younger Billy. Maybe it's more than pulled muscle. Faster tempos' with Jay Lane a former Les Claypool drummer.

i'm good doc i'm a super lightweight these days it was a long break since april 15 till now and still sparingly doc thx for Caring.

<...many Deadheads at the rest stops.  So I followed the stickers >

remember the Cosmic Wimpout stickers on all the toll booths on the East coast? --- a thing of the past

Those stickers were everywhere for years, and I have vague memories of the game.

OK - you guys convinced me to give it a listen... I jumped in at Samson... Guitar tones check out. I'm mainly noticing keyboard.

Tempo-wise - there's lots of different kinds of slow --- there's deliberate slow -- like picking your way through a minefield.

There's sluggishly slow - like pulling a firehose through the mud.

There's distracted slow - like a lost little kid wandering around a department store. And many more types.

I'd say this is more like old-man-getting-gingerly-out-of a-lounge-chair-slow.

trying to objectively give it a listen...

just can't do the bob. such a weirdo.

mayo's tone alright...just not seemingly taking the bull by the horns...guess you can't when its a burro instead of a bull.

just can't do the bob. such a weirdo. <<<

ha ha

just Block out any visual that PoPs up.

 

stream and songs    i'm liking.

You know the best part? --  for me anyway -- Every once iin a while, for a whole line, a single word, or even just an inflection --  young Bobby surfaces through the accumulated layers of old gruff. That brings a smile to my face.

2 of my friends reported having left early. Lol

 I am happy for those who enjoyed it

2 of my friends reported having left early.>>>

Same thing 20 years ago...

I left early w/2 friends on the same site in March '92.  Final night of a very weak run @ The Spectrum, the boys started Throwing Stones, we started for the parking lot.

Lot fight ....smh

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadandcompany/comments/vwdz5m/people_wanted_to...

 

everytime i watch i see something i missed ...a lot going on 

wow

Dude at 0:26 had a hard time getting that bottle busted.

Not surprised that Philly gets all the good fights. Knuckleheads.

>>>Dude at 0:26 had a hard time getting that bottle busted.

I saw a bunch of wasted Brits fighting on a beach in Thailand after a Full Moon Rave. Dude tried to break a bottle like 10 times on a metal pole. Never managed to break it. Movie fights are not real. 

I like how they used the pile of garbage as a buffer. The baseball bat was also a nice touch.

i bet the chomper heading towards camera right at end is cool to hang with .... (rolls eyes)

i did crack  up when heard "he's a tiger"

LOL

 

The comments are better than the video.

My favorite is the dude with the poster who, sensing danger, skedaddles before his poster is damaged 

Is there supposed to be any actual fighting in this video?

I guess i missed it

was wondering the same thing Bss...

 

looks like they spit at eachother @ 17sec mark ...classy ! 

Slap fighting around a pile of garbage. It's a thing.

what would jerry do?

I think it was a turf war over who gets all those cans and bottles for the 5 cent redemption so those losers can hit the next show.

"I saw 200 real GD shows and never saw anything but unicorns and rainbows."

Yeah, sure.

south philly cowboys, they was all around

beer bottles and food stamps, scattered on the ground

so soon after encore, you know it seemed a shame

but you know my wook mooch, they starts wookin again

HEY NOW

lot trash melee with a Yuengling in the hand

 

Good stuff, Bss.

I'm having a hard time picking a favorite. It's either balloon boy #1...

...or balloon boy #2...

Def number 2, he is multitasking his High Life

No love for moe.down Boy? He has wings.

You must choose one or the other

though neither are to be what they claim

> Def number 2, he is multitasking his High Life

The lifted pinkie is a nice touch too. He's a bon vivant, fer sure.

guy at 20sec that crouches down and hold dog in place to watch is a real peach also 

pink/green tye-die, blue hat  ..dead center of screen

 

what a pile of dirt

Cabinet fan in the mix cheeky

>>>Same thing 20 years ago... I left early w/2 friends on the same site in March '92<<<

I hate to break it to you Krab, but '92 was 30 years ago.

I often make the same mistake. As one grows older, time begins to be like an accordion.

As for that video, just another day on lot, man.

probably the worst crowd scene i encountered was in philly....harsh world to not get in to the show. also only place i ever saw a pre-game lot pow-wow of spiral-tie-dye-clad fat undercover cops...
 

was like the worst potpourri of broken glass drunken east coasters....foxborough was probably a tie also...

 

Good thing I'm sticking to apple orchards now

went to philly for 4th of july in 2001

was a followup to gathering of the vibes that summer and the group i was with was heading that way for the next night and day ...wish i wouldve hitched my way outta the lot , philly with the group i was  in was one 1 i didnt want to be in 

then again, i was only mid-20s then, but still had bad vibes all around and somehow weekend turned worse , oh well...older and smarter now :)

In the early 80s, I tended bar for a while at a corner tavern in a working class neighborhood in Philly. It was a shot and a beer joint at 24th and Fairmount, not far from the Art Museum, but worlds apart from it at the same time. We sold a lot of Schmidt's on tap, and the shots I poured were only top shelf on truly special occasions, like weddings, funerals, and big lottery wins.

At one end of the bar, they had a big old wooden barrel filled with roasted peanuts you could help yourselves to for free, but if you were hesitant to throw your shells on the floor, as was the local tradition, and instead asked for a proper receptacle into which you might dispose of your peanut shells, you were ridiculed, and not in a discreet manner. This was the sort of thing the whole bar needed to know about.

Nights when a fight didn't break out were rare, and if there weren't people from outside the neighborhood to brawl with, the local crew would get into it amongst themselves. It was easy for me to understand the locals mixing it up with interlopers--being in the neighborhood, but not from the neighborhood was seen as a clash-worthy infraction--but I always found the intramural skirmishes curious.

Two guys would get into a knock-down-drag-out fist fight out in front of the bar on the sidewalk, and there would be blood. The locals were always careful to take it outside though, so as not to get 86ed from the bar. But then later that same night, or the next day at the latest, you would see those same two guys yukking it up at the bar while loudly retelling, and sometimes repeatedly, the story of their earlier fight where they had both somehow managed to beat the ever-living crap out of each other.

What I came to understand was that the fights were more like a contact sport rather than any kind of real public menace. Like an earlier version of Fight Club, which wouldn't hit theaters for about another 20 years. Some guys just seem to need to knock heads with other guys on a semi-regular basis. I'm not one of those, but whenever I see a fight like the one in the lot video above, I still wonder if I could be, and usually the answer is yes.

Mam-males have fighting encoded in their reproductive blueprint.  Its always gonna be there somewhere. 

Plus, in the case of the posturing above, add in drugs, money, booze, gas, and probably lack of sleep. It's a recipe for temper tantrums.
