Notes

My first time at the Merriweather-Post Pavillion!!! This is a great old venue with a rich history and full of charm. It was nice to feel welcome by the staff and be greeted with a smile... I cannot say the same about The Mann Center in Philly. Anyway, another great show. Brad and I set up in Row S ...a Sweet spot on the right side of the sound board...THE PHIL ZONE!!!!

So many roads was excellent this night, as was the Sailor>Saint 2nd set opener. And Throwing stones was amazing!

Reviewer: Bedorthab - - July 24, 2012
Subject: Nice recording

The music is the message but...while off topic....I must say I have been to hundreds of venues in the last few years and the Mann Staff is one of the worst, least friendly, slow anywhere and the venue is WAY over priced in the amenity department.

G-Man - First of all, thanks for the high quality recording from 07-08-12 @ Merriweather Post. The message indeed is in the music.

I would like to take extreme exception to your negative comments about the staff at The Mann Center. I am a member there (which means I have donated money to them) and attend at least six shows a season other than the now 'annual' Furthur concert(s). The staff has always been extremely friendly and helpfull and in no way are they mean. Now given the overwhelming magnitude of freakdom that descends on the place every summer for Furthur, there are sure to be some of the staff who just don't get the vibe, so possibly you had to deal with that; but in general they are a friendly staff trying to do their job. We try to live up to the meaning of the words Phila Del Phia (the city of brotherly and sisterly love). All things being equal, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. I'm just sayin...

What more can be said about this Band, Jeff & John got that back & forth thing going like Jerry & Brent. Its Just amazing how awesome they sound after 4 nights straight!!!Long Live this music, this attitude, & just a beautiful time to be had by all. we won't quit until U do Phil n Bob!!! I do believe I got a lil water on this tapers rig, once again Sorry Bro.I was overheating! Thanks 4 this awesome recording :))))

Subject: Killed it!!!

Last 3 songs are AWESOME and Althea...Solos by Jeff and John @ end of So Many Roads really bring it from a mediocre rendition to that soulful level that Jerry brought. A good recording, but can't wait for soundboard.

What kind of Dead fans don't appreciate a Sailor > Saint opener??

Subject: samson

that samson is fire. loving the simplified intro. great show with typical lows and some highs.

Reviewer: mnoones - - July 12, 2012
Subject: good sound

The 2nd set opening combo wasn't what I was hoping for and I was a bit deflated. Birdsong and Help/Slip sure made up for that. Good sounding show!

Subject: gotta get down to the Cumberland mine

Thanks G-man for capturing and sharing a super-nice show of what is rapidly becoming a memorable summer tour. '87 style 1st set (not Cosmic Charlie, of course!) with great Cumberland and CRS. Not usually enamored with Lost > Saint as a 2nd set opening pair, but works well here (shades of '84). The Birdsong is lovely -- Phil's vocals aside -- and the Help > Slip orchestral. Listen and enjoy!

First, thank you GMan and all the tapers for bringing this awesome music to us! I have seen Furthur 8 times and the music so far from this tour is just fantastic!! The combination of them playing together for a few years, and Bob and Phil happiliy doing their own thing the last few months, has created a tour not to missed. It may never be this good again. Looking forward to seeing them in Bethel Woods and enjoying the peace and music of this awesome band we still have the good fortune to experiance.

Subject: Wonderful night, wonderful show, thank you so much for recording and posting

I stopped by for the start of the second set but my happy feet moved me down front. We you do is really appreciated, I really am enjoying listening at work.

Subject: Ice

Gman, Thanks for posting the show so soon. Hope you enjoyed the ice. Sorry I ran out. Next time I'll bring more.

Subject: Might be missing the man, but am definitely enjoying the ride

Happy day,

My first show since the NYE run and its just, you know, wow. How is it that they keep on doling out such powerful performances? I sat in CC, right side, and the only thought that kept hammering through my head during Althea was, "Are you freaking kidding me? Where did that sound come from, this is incredible!"

And I think that's really the beginning, middle and end of it all. This show was just another in a long line of masterfully executed shows. Althea was the highlight, I think, but there were so many other jaw dropping moments, too.

Finally, thanks to the taper for making this available. Its really some kind of wonderful that you do it, and it is appreciaed.

G-man - I posted up a few seats to the right of you in row T in the second set and got to enjoy that sweetspot, too. Thanks for producing a great quality recording of a great show!

JEFF ON KEYS->Monster! What an amazing musician...seen him over 100 times since he joined Ratdog, etc. What a gift he is!
THANK YOU, Gman for another one of your great recordings...esp considering you did such an amazing job with a mediocre sounding venue. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into
recording and uploading this amazing music. (What a far cry from the days of arranging those cassette trades, and then waiting in line at the PO to mail ten packages a week....then waiting anxiously...hehe). THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
This show was a great show to be show 231 for me (GD, OO Dead, Mickey, Phil, Ratdog, Further), and a great show for my Mom's 4th (1 GD, 1 Dead, 2 Furthur). FINALLY, Mom's a believer...hehe!
Thanks to Furthur for playing such amazing music, and continuing to transport us the that wonderful place music dues.

Good recording. Thanks G-Man for carrying on the Dead tradition of taping shows. We are Grateful! You and Brad rock! It was nice meeting you guys at Merriweather. Maybe see you guys at Red Rocks.
