Dead and Company

"I was trying to edit it but C’est la vie"

"Theirs always a show that had wish to see in person. This one would undoubtedly be one of those shows. The band seemed to be in a special type of sink, not the drain kind. John’s ability to masterfully weave his way around these songs can be only, and in fact, pointed out to the fact that Bobby has indeed place himself as one of the Geniuses, at every level, of rhythm guitar. Primarily is ability to masterfully discordantly pepper John’s guitar wanderings with just the perfect amount of interesting, intellectual and delightful tone that has set apart as a master of his craft. There well may be nice better rhythm guitarist "

"?? Needs more Viola Lee Blues"

"Probably the slowest uninspiring jack straws, and a lackluster 1st set that sorta explodes into a very fun 2nd set, China/rider dark star,dew, Saturday night, skip the first set and go straight to 2nd set beauty"

"Best show I’ve ever been in my whole life, so good I had to follow up to SF for the new year show. It was wicked good."

"Here I am reviewing this a year later,or nearly a year at least. So much has happened since this show, but I remember it so well. No matter what incantation of the Dead you are listening to, Viola Lee brings you into that bluesy party swing and the set starting there was perfect. My boogie shoes didn't come off all night long I don't love indoor shows, not in the way I love outdoor shows, and in this particular indoor show we were also left with only some creative light ing, no spectacular graphic magic background to pull us out of the smelly arena and into a more beautiful place, so we had to rely on our own imagination and strength of mind and heart to do so for us. For me, Bobby took the wheel and led me right into the space I needed to be, and I was left with nothing to do but smile smile smile... And dance dance dance. Damnit, I miss shows so much. "I am ony hands and knees, 'Rona don't you come around here no more!" We need our shows and our community back! "

"The Forum show that Saturday night was epic! I was in the Pit with other dedicated D"

"teases us with just enough flavor(only a whiff of a hint of the faintest sprinkle suggesting a taste once rich to its core) left to point almost intuitively yet still confidently flailing blind with faith or fate toward an eternity so close it's felt like a ball peen hammer to the forehead without leaving a trace or mark except the look of wonder remaining on your face for as long as you can hold on . Happy New Year"

"good"

"a very solid show with some really inspired and inspiring moments but not the transcendent songs much less a whole transcendent set like we've been spoiled enough to come to expect so often. I'm not sure if it's the money it takes to go to a Dead show nowadays that has trained into the lizard(or more troglodyte advancing) portion my brain that a value laden expectation insists on a pound of flesh required from each performance be left on the stage to satiate the everchild till the next show fix comes along that I rationalize the need to pay what I Must Afford with each succeeding tour. Or the Magic may evaporate leaving me grasping at clouds for substance. I know I can enjoy He's Gone without needing to apply the weight of personal loss to experience it's beauty as a stand alone masterpiece of its own right deserves. RELAX and ENJOY the MOMENT. FOREVER if you can allow yourself that luxury bestowed upon us when we're born(but not trained recognize)only seeing we've had it all the time as that too begins to evaporate like the fickle ethereal muse we depend on to "
