That King Solomon's Marbles belongs on one from the vault. if you slipped it in there and didnt tell a new listerner they could not discern between those two bands: GD in '75 and Furthur in '09. that is sick free-form jazz with phil and bobby finally getting to play like themselves cuz of JK's tone and wizardry. this band is IT!

Subject: Since 1980
I went to my first show in 1980 and have continued to see the Dead and its iterations since. I loved Jerry as much as anyone . This show was simply put the best since I saw the Grateful Dead. I loved it. It didn't seem disrespectful or overly imitative . There was unique perspective on the old standard that we all love. May the universe continue to support this musical union and may we all be blessed with more of this beautiful music for years to come. Hate if you want because hate is a valid choice. I choose love here and it makes me happy.! Woooo fucking hooooo!

Subject: Response to Folk Hippy
Hey Folk Hippy, some people go through life making themselves feel better by putting other people down.

Phil and Friends has performed some incredible music over the past decade and I am so thankful for that.

This show was excellent and the soundbaord recording is really really terrific.

Subject: Dead enough
Not even going to get into comparing this version of the band to that version, this guitarist with that guitarist, much less pre-Jerry to post Jerry. It is what it is . . . "take what you need and leave the rest". That said:

Obv. Bob & Phil can do whatever they want to do--it's their band after all. However, from a fan's point of you, I really really REALLY wish that they would let others (anyone else really . . .) sing the Jerry songs.

Also wish that Bobby would give it a rest when it comes to "talk" singing & his attempts at reinterpreting the songs by his unusual phrasing & such. I guess he's just trying to "keep it fresh" or whatever, but . . . it doesn't work. Not trying to be critical, just being honest.

Subject: Sick Show
okay this venue is a GREAT place to any show. The sound in the back row was amazing. Seeing this group together was a revelation for me. I've been seeing John K for about a decade. He belongs on stage with this group. BUT, please let John K. sing all of Jerry parts.

Subject: Circle completed(4now)
This show, for me at least, finished what Bobby and Phil started when Bob sauntered out in his gaucho pants to go-go dancers during the Tuesday night show of the Warfield's closing run. I think the Boys are (with 40yrs. of practice) able to really define numbers that never would have seen the light of day with Jer. The closing of the Warfield, the anointing of the Fox...& Shoreline in between. & I managed to go back on tour for a bit in between. Perfect.

Subject: A style.
After years of different opinions and feelings about what new lead guitarists for Dead off-shoots and reincarnations should be, I think its pretty clear. Jerry-like, or a new interpretation? which is the best? well. Take it like this. a new interpretation is always interesting, sometimes crazy-good, sometimes it leaves a lot to be desired. But I think its fair to say, many have been influenced by Jerry's sound. and I believe it to be a style of guitar playing. its own unique approach to the instrument. It's not copying, its just a style. it can be used fully, or mixed in with others.

Warren has a blues feel to DEAD music, which i LOVE. while JK brings it back to that Jerry-style.
whats important is that its honest. thats all i expect, try hard, do your thing, and ill dig it. Every time. Phil&Friends is great, Ratdog is great. The DEAD is great. and Furthur is great. but nothing will be as great as the good 'ol Grateful Dead. Five stars for great music and great effort. and most of all. Great Love.

Subject: I am impressed...
Bobby and Phil are finally figuring out what we want! A band that sounds like the good 'ole Grateful Dead! When I first discovered these Fox shows, my heart filled with joy! The sound of the band is incredible! Is it cheesy that they brought in the DSO guitar player? NO F***ING WAY! Warren Hanes was the worst choice EVER for the final "Dead" tour. He can be a killer guitar player but he just ruined the Dead sound! John's guitar playing is right up to par with the rest of the band. He gets that sweet Garcia feel that everybody wants to hear! They even brought back the duel drummers! No more crappy Phil & Friends or Ratdog shows! I am in heaven!

This show is full of inspired versions of Dead classics. Don't pass this by!

Subject: The Boys are on tonight
I have to agree with some reviewers that the previous two nights (9/18 and 9/19) weren't stellar from a musical standpoint. But this show is altogether different. Listen to Cucamonga -> Throwing Stones, the Viola > Cumberland -> Viola and the KING SOLOMON'S! Wow, this stuff smokes. The KSM kinda takes me back to 75. Yikes.

Awesome to get live music of this caliber from these guys after all these years.

Subject: Best of the three nites
Great show. I remember being a little let down by Saturdays show. Not quite matching the energy of the first nite imho. Needless to say my expectations were high for night 3. So great to finally have a crisp, clean SBD recording.

Great show, great instrument quality, decent but sometimes inconsistant vocal mixing (not a flaw of the recording, but of the sound at the time.) I can surely say that these boys are in a comfortable state by the time night 3 rolled along.

As opposed to the uneven and strangely alienating 9/18 opener jam, night 3 is powerhose nite! One mighty drum intro minute, wasting no tuning time until a Samson opener! Obviously not taking much of a cue from Dead setlists, Furthur is just exploring the possibilities of these long established and toyed with tunes. Everyone has had their different arrangements.

Its valid to argue that Warren might have a more harmonious blend to the mix of vocals, but i still think that this rendition has a uniquely solid musical understanding of everything that has happened since 1995. And i like Furthur since they play venues like Oakland Fox, Civic Center, ie. small venues rather than "The Dead" tour's stadium arena blowout. Just be happy the boys are going on to mess around with their music more. In a good way...

The highlight for me was obviously Pride of Cucamonga>Jam>Throwing Stones. So nicely segued together and good group interaction throughout. Chimenti is finally turned up loud enough to do him justice!!!

It seems like it could be sooo easy to pick anything and everything about this sort of project apart. I for one am soo happy that Phil broke away from Jackie Green greatest hits land and Bobby is stepping up from Ratdog for this project. Thanks for continuing to play guys!

Subject: At long F#$king last!!
Having seen DSO 5 times over the last couple of years [at Jam-on-the-Dam] I was certainly taken with JK and kinda hoped that one day he might get involved in something like this. I guess Bobby must have been the prime mover, having guested at a couple of DSO shows in the recent past.
These 3 nights are unquestionably the best I have heard any combination [ and yes..including DSO] since Garcia passed, in terms of both music AND spirit.
Goddam..Mickey and Bill would've lowered the energy quotent [as they did the last 10 years or so of The Grateful Dead IMHO]and as for some critics dissing Phil and Bob for bringing in JK..
I get your point, but certainly don't agree. With all due respect to the other hired gunslingers down the years, eg Warren Hayes, Jimmy Herring et al, they just do not get 'IT' and never will. JK obviously has [and does]
PLEASE PLEASE come to Europe!! Phil hasn't been for getting on 20 years now, so come on!!! Shake a leg goddamit!!!

Subject: Good stuff.
These shows are interesting. The only big weakness is the vocals. Warren really lifted up the backing vocals and harmonies in addition to his strong leads.

Subject: Worth every second
(Also please see my review of 9.18.09, which is in some ways more complete.)

The short version is that I attended all three of these shows, and boy-oh-boy: will all due respect to all their wonderful past efforts, this one is the best effort to date for Bobby and Phil (since Jerry). (To put this in context, I attended more than 100 GD shows.)

Bobby's voice is stronger than ever and his guitar playing economical and precise. Phil's playing is stronger than ever and he appears liberated by having Bobby and not having to play the role of band-leader.

The various helpers (JK, Chimenti, and the drummers) are super and really fit in well.

Listen/download this today and you will not regret it.

Obviously I plan to attend NYears.
