Is this show going to be streamed on Live365? Is that a free listen or do I need to pay the $9.95 to join up? Thanks for info about this. Or any other place to listen to these shows on-line.

Adam... you shouldn't have to pay for 365.

You'll get commercials if you join for free.

PLUS, there is never any guarantee that the stream will hit that night.

Agreed..... Personally the tempo of many of the songs this tour have been a little slow for my taste. Viola for example just about put me to sleep.

Oh man, hopefully Warren sang Stella Blue.. can't wait to listen to that.

I must say as a 18 year old who is fascinated with the grateful dead's music this tour is very exciting for me I can finally relate the older generation... although this is nothing like it was obviously. I'm just so psyched there keeping the music alive.

Maybe a U.S Blues encore tonight..

Warren sang Stella in NYC on the Phil and Friends run when he sat in and did it justice for sure. I was hoping for one at MSG but I will take a DEW! :-)

May I chime in here that the "slow" tempo doesn't make it good or bad - the playing has been awesome and the tempo is what it is. I was in Albany and Woostah and had a thoroughly amazing weekend and saw three totally different shows in style AND substance - I wouldn't even begin to rate them as better or worse or whatever - they are Dead shows!! And its great to have the boys back once again. Just enjoy and accentuate the POSITIVE.

You're so right Adam... In fact, listening to the shows, their approach to every song with each show has really been in an exploratory sense... I love it! They are sounding excellent, with a little different spin now than then (as always).

Hey... We have different eras and different years that sound a bit different from the others - yet they all roll into one. That's the beauty!

I would imagine most on this thread could call a version of just about anything from say, 73 and call that same song from 77 and get their years spot on... Because they're different!

Just an example of the amazing tapestry the Boyz have sewn over the years. Personally, I think with this tour, they are definitely playing at an extraordinarily high level!!!

Can't wait to see them come out West!

Juice,
I found the video link on this discusion board, 4-10-09. you have to scroll all the way down, but it is there. www.//vimeo.com. It is a cool site, and they are showing clips of these shows, that cpw was the first one I checked out, for obvious reasons. Warren sounds like 60's jerry

"May I chime in here that the "slow" tempo doesn't make it good or bad - the playing has been awesome and the tempo is what it is. I was in Albany and Woostah and had a thoroughly amazing weekend and saw three totally different shows in style AND substance - I wouldn't even begin to rate them as better or worse or whatever - they are Dead shows!! And its great to have the boys back once again. Just enjoy and accentuate the POSITIVE."

yes, yes, yes! I couldn't have said it better myself.

The "drummer's choice" is a time-honored bit of pranksterdom and usually results in something like BIODTL or similar... I'm digging the randomness of the setlists overall, but must admit that for $100+ I'm holding out for something old & huge like Viola or TOO when I finally get to be there in person at the Gorge. I do wish I caught TLEO and Loser though- a couple of my fave 1st set tunes.

David Lemieux was very happy with last night, sounds like in someways he liked it more than Sunday.
He knows tonight is going to Rage!!! lol

On to the show, where the band was greeted by a VERY loud western NY crowd, by all accounts. A special thanks to DR and RLL for being my eyes and, more importantly, my ears in Buffalo. Opening with that classic opener from the 1970s, Promised Land, they signaled that this was to be a rocker from the start. No jam, just straight into this Chuck Berry powerhouse of a tune. The last time the band opened a Buffalo show with Promised Land was a shade over 30 years ago, at the aforementioned Shea’s show in 1979. Cool! Following this with They Love Each Other is a very nice and traditional way of opening a Dead show. I like where this is going. Following this up with Mama Tried and Loser has the makings of a really classic Grateful Dead setlist. I mean, I’ve got to say I love what happened the second night of Worcester, with the mid-first set Cream Puff War and the first set ending Good Lovin’, but there is such a huge charm in the look of a good old Grateful Dead setlist. There is a certain comfort in a Hell In A Bucket>Sugaree>Walkin’ Blues, Dire Wolf opening sequence, isn’t there? A report from the show, in regards to Loser and They Love Each Other, said great vocals on both, with Warren taking the former and Bobby the latter. Oh, here come the fireworks! Woe-oh, Smokestack Lightning! Nice! I only saw the Grateful Dead play this half a dozen times or so, but Bobby always did it justice. Warren has been a monster on these blues tunes so far this tour. Next is Stella Blue, and looking at these first six tunes of the night, none of them are repeats from earlier in the tour, which is to say about 6.5 shows into the tour, only three tunes have been repeated (Uncle John’s Band, Slipknot! and Samson played on Sunday in Worcester were the only three repeats so far). I always loved Stella Blue at GD shows, but then again, I loved all of Jerry’s ballad tunes from the second set, including Black Peter, Wharf Rat and Morning Dew. None of which they’ve played yet on this tour, I might add. Up next is another non-repeat, It’s All Over Now, such a great song for the Grateful Dead since 1976, and a tune that Bobby has played consistently since then with and without the GD. These setlists on the tour are really revealing the depth of not only the quantity of Grateful Dead music, but the depth of quality. Here we are 6.5 shows into the tour and they keep pulling out classic Grateful Dead songs. So cool! Big River, very, very cool! Mama Tried and Big River, although not attached together tonight, was always my favourite cowboy medley amongst the many variations. This is fun! Big River, a great way to end the set.

Set 2

Opening with Playing In The Band is such a great second set opener, as it bodes well for an uninterrupted set of music. As RL pointed out, it’s a very 1973 sounding show tonight, with hints of a 1977 vibe. Playing In The Band, as is no secret, is one of my favourite Grateful Dead songs, as it always opened up to such magnificent spaces. Although it’s a tour repeat, that’s OK, as I could hear this song every night. In keeping with the 1973 vibe that I’ve heard from a few people at the show tonight, up come another couple of songs that are vintage 1973 Grateful Dead, Me and Bobby McGee and Loose Lucy (reminiscent of the Buffalo 1990 Loose Lucy, as pointed out to me by RL, which was a great version in the midst of a really great show). This setlist is out of control good. It’s a very cool theme to follow, this 1973-ish setlist, whereas the setlist of Sunday’s Worcester show was 1966-1968-centric, with Alligator, Cream Puff War, Born Cross-Eyed, Schoolgirl, Lovelight and Good Lovin’. Clearly, this is a band having fun, and drawing upon almost 45 years of music. Up next is another typical-of-1973 tune, Ramble On Rose, which was another huge crowd sing-along as reported by RL. This is one cool show so far. Something that’s been so interesting so far on the tour is how varied each and every show has been. Obviously this applies to the setlists, but also the formats, some shows opening with long jams, some second sets having two songs before the drums, a show with a two song encore, etc. Not only are they drawing upon their entire repertoire, but they’re eschewing the standard formats and going with whatever feels good on a given night. After Ramble On Rose came Drums, which as you might know by my previous show recaps, have been excellent on this tour. Really, if you’re going to a show, check out this impressive part of the show. This was followed, of course, by Space, where the four non-drummers have been making some really great sounds all tour long. Out of the ashes of Space came the uplifting melody of Maggie’s Farm. This was followed by the quintessential 1973 song, Eyes of the World. With all of this talk about 1973, I had really hoped they’d play Eyes of the World at this show, another tune they had not yet played on the tour. Another of my personal favourites. This then falls into the always-welcome Playing In The Band reprise. Truly a classic-looking Grateful Dead setlist. A few twists here and there (Smokestack, Maggie’s Farm amongst a few others), but overall a show that would not be out of place in 1973. And the encore was an appropriate Truckin’, both because it is another vintage 1973 Grateful Dead song, but also because of the line “Truckin’ up to Buffalo!” What a setlist!!

Again, a huge thanks to David Raffarin and Rory Levy for the reports from the road. Tomorrow’s show in Wilkes Barre is the smallest venue on the tour, about 9,000 and change, so to all those heading out to that show, have fun. It ought to be great!

David wasn't even at the show. No disrespect, but how can he write a valid review?

To each his own, but I would have been very disappointed with that set list, especially the second set.

I actually like the placement to Ramble on rose to go into drums..I know they played this one in the second set in the 70's.

My only gripe here, is that the maggies farm is sung by bobby only. How about the way they did it in the 90's? Each band member taking a verse, maybe bob singing two verses. But if anyone here remembers correctly, there was always that great anticipation for Phil to sing his 'do my very best to be just who i am' verse of the song. I used to love seeing maggies farm and might have been a close second for my favorite cowboy tune behind me and my uncle.

Ted does a great job writing reviews through someone elses eyes and ears, not an easy task. Alot of newspaper critics do that. Thanks for his efforts.

this from a very seasoned music/dead fan and friend of mine:
"The show was very good but not great. Yes, the first set was a somewhat odd grouping of tunes and it was uneven. They really didn't pick it up until Its All Over Now and Big River (which was terrific). Warren actually did a hell of a job with Stella Blue and did Jerry proud.
Highlight of the second set and the whole show was Ramble On Rose - never would of thunk it.. It brought me way back and reminded me of why I used to love the Dead so much - it was special. Eyes of the World played right into Warren's style and was smokin. Truckin for an encore was a nice change compared to the encores of the old days...US Blues or One More Sat Night etc."
