Dead & Co. Sold Out Blossom Music Center! Weather should be fine! Pleasant and warmer with sunshine mixing with some clouds.
High of 79 degrees / Realfeel 83 degrees / 0% chance of precipitation. Wish I could be there, however I cannot this year. However my wife & I are hosting 2 pals who are going. Question is: Do you know the back way into Blossom?

Is Blossom Music Center the same as the old Buckeye Lake?
Hope me you have a great time! What a cool summer venue.

Blossom is not Buckeye.
Blossom is not Buckeye. Blossom up north near Akron / Cleveland. Buckeye down in central Ohio east of Columbus.
The sneaky, easiest & best way to get in to Blossom is from the North coming down Northhampton Rd. traveling South then turn right onto Kent State Dr. This way you avoid all of the traffic snarly backup on W Steels Corner Rd.. All of the roads you see north off of W. Steels Corner are actually driveways inside of Blossom. I think Kent State Dr. is actually a driveway into Blossom.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Blossom+Music+Center/@41.1914511,-81.5575012,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xf0d6284674a1c224!8m2!3d41.1912965!4d-81.560692
I would try to avoid approaching the venue from the east. The Rt. 8 South or Akron Cleveland Rd to W Steels Corner Rd. then going west towards venue route - it's always packed there. Plus coming in from the East there you get traffic coming to Blossom from Turnpike (INT 80 from north) and from RT 76 (from south) converging at W. Steel Corners Rd. with everyone wanting to go west towards the venue. You will be much better off getting closer to the venue from the roads north and west of the venue. You can get to the Wheatley Rd. exit from RT 77 North & South and then come into the closer area around the venue from the northwest. Whew! Safe Travels & Peace!

I saw many great shows at blossom, a couple of the great ones were the GD a couple times, a few great Jimmy Buffet shows, Neil Young in a massive thunder storm with balls of lightning everywhere, and even danced on the stage around Vassar at one of the bluegrass festivals there. Good Times

Great venue! Many memories of awesome events!

Deadley, the Neil show that I was at was before 88, I had left Ohio by then, but it was also so bad that they let the lawn people under the pavillion also. I thought that they should of actually canceled the show that night because the lightning was so bad. Also saw the neil tour there with the shocking Pinks, first half of show might of been trans.

Hi Pyramid. Having viewed a bunch of recent tour set lists earlier today I said something very much along those lines. Its like they are sticking to a pattern of limiting the catalog exactly like the Dead did to a fault. Would have been nice had they chosen a few more tunes from that vast catalog.

Forgot to tune in until now. Sounds crisp on h2oGirlNora channel. I was out changing brake fluids and mowing some Poison Ivy.
I'll always remember the Cuyahoga Falls Summer '84 show as the one I had food poisoning. It was the pre-show KFC salad bar, probably "Macaroni Salad" which did me in. Even water made me barf for about 18 - 20 hours. Too bad I was so miserable that day, as it was a pretty good Show.

Ugh - Shatnered Rat - See that's why this band ultimately in the end Sucks - show was going great, even a nice little jam post space, then a shitty unimaginative post drums setlist, just like GD shows in the '80's - I'm goin' back to listening to Miles Davis albums . . . .

The handful I've listened to
The handful I've listened to give me a fairly consistent impression: They make pretty nice First Sets, but can't seem to sustain that energy for a palatable Second Set. No doubt there are exceptions, but that's just from what I've heard.
Probably has something to do with the lack of inter-song jams.

Then, when Phil (GD50) played the next time in Chicago, they opened with Box! Knock GD50 or whatever but that fact and what they did by opening with Box was truly awesome and set the stage for an amazing & memorable 3 days & nights with dear phriends!

From the Streams I've
From the Streams I've listened to, I think this band sounds better than last Summer. The Citifield show sounded pretty good over the Webcast.
While I could not justify paying $$ for Camden or Citifield tickets, Everyone who went seemed to have a Fun Time.
I think it is great that they get to practice playing Shows at their senile Old Age, and also gross 25 million Buck$$ while they're at it.

From the review linked above
From the review linked above:
"Though the band is Dead & Company and doesn't have Phil Lesh or Jerry Garcia, this was the Grateful Dead"
Lol.
"And while there was a hint of the aroma you'd expect to whiff at a Dead show, it was nowhere near as pervasive as I expected.Not that I was disappointed, of course. Honest. I mean, those days are over for me, too. And, I suspect, for a majority of the more than 20,000 at Blossom"
Triple lol.
