\/\/illy Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I am so dissapointed that I missed Robert Hunter this time. I was totally expecting him to play between sets but instead, he opened. Major bummer. Oh well, the rest of the show blew me away anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Now, wait a second here. Yes/Dead tour? Are you friggin' kidding me? I will melt if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 they pulled that just before indiana so we went running into the show early but dylan opened both there and ohio, hunter was between sets... sounds super sweet seeing him before the crowd came in... 300 people hmm... I don't know about the yes/dead thing... I really like yes but those are pretty different audiences... I guess so... my only problem with other bands playing with the dead is they get so little of my attention span... poor dylan only got about 10 percent out of me, though it was a good 10 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Of the five shows I saw this tour, I think this was the best. That's all I'm sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 ah MarcO, still warning people not to go to Thialand though you've never been Bob is a genius and still a great performer but Dylan after the Dead would've had the majority of the crowd falling asleep or leaving... its great to see Bob perform (every song on the keyboards by the way... cool) and the crowd loved and respected him fully... but its not the spontaneous and unpredictable energy of the Dead... the old back and forth between the fans and the band... just didn't want this thread to die on a negative note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I may have an informed opinion on Thailand, may express it, but I wouldn't warn people not to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hey Paisley, Dylan did play guitar for a few songs IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 BIG thumbs down when i found this one out if any of yall buy the dead soundboards for this tour when dylan has been guesting on a few songs,, you wont be getting those songs something to do with bobs record label not letting dylans tracks be released, so youll get Jam> Music Never Stopped Casey Jones No More Do I>Jam> Scarlet Begonias> Fire On The Mountain Jam> Mason's Children> Jam> Reuben & Cerise> Drumz(Six Flags fireworks and Laser lightshow)/Space> Days Between> Throwing Stones> Midnight Hour Donor Rap E:Help On The Way> Slipknot...

Booche Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hey Paisley, "I'll tell you what, you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 right on, Ms. Hux... I was actually hoping he would in indiana but he just kept rockin the keys like a demented man possessed... I missed most of his set in ohio (you lose an hour coming back from central time to eastern and we set up at the site pre-show)... both nights when he sat in with the dead he rolled his keyboard out for it I would've loved to see some guitar as last time I saw him play it he was really rippin it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Darien was the first show in Dylan's run with the Dead that he picked up the guitar....and played 4 (usually 3) songs with the Dead. Weir also sat in with Dylan's band for 5! tunes that went over extremely well, a few from Dylan's "Love and Theft", (Weir loves that album). Maggie's Farm Love Minus Zero/No Limit Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum @Mr. Tamborine Man #Highway 61 Revisited This Wheel's On Fire Cold Irons Bound #Positively 4th Street #Honest With Me #Summer Days #Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 # w/Bob Weir Great show! The Dylan segement was my personal highlight, Tangled was joyous. I LOVED Dylan's Maggie's Farm opener, danced the whole walk from the lawn to the seats to that one - awesome! Dylan on lead vocs. for Alabama was also a riot, and just watching Dylan interact with the Dead was a treat. Dylan and Weir seemed to really hit it off, I would love to see more collaboration in the future, or at least maybe a Ratdog/Dylan bill...that would be fuckin' eh. Highlights from the Dead were Music Never Stopped, loved that new end part with the "oooh-oooh" and Weir doing the "Nevah-stopped, Neva-nevah-stopped", classic! Joan really did a beautiful Days Between, never been a fan of this tune, but they nailed it. Midnight Hour and Throwin' Stones were also highlights, Weir adding the "blood for oil" to one part of Throwin. The Help-Slip-Franks was great, but they did trainwreck a bit in Slip, but still fun. Jimmy was pretty good, I'd rate it 4th out of the 5 Dead shows I've seen this summer. Of course the worst one being the one I saw with Booche. The band seems to be hit or miss....some nights are inspired, and others are not, kinda like that other band some of these guys were in. They're taking chances and going for it again - and that's what it's all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 from dead.net quote: From time to time, guest artists may perform a few songs together with the band. It is our hope that the guest artists will allow these songs to be included in the recordings of that night’s concert. However, we respect the guest artists’ right to artistic approval, and may therefore not be able to include these guest performances on the recordings. like dylan so i guess if you wanna hear the dylan tracks from the darien show your gonna have to find an aud. copy i think thats bunk personally, but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
