The first night (8/10) was really nice. We had outstanding weather, and the crowd was mellow. As always there was lots of fun to be had in the parking lot and on the lawn. I like PNC – the people who work there aren’t lamers like the some of the people at Jones Beach. On… Continue reading The Dead @ Garden State Arts Center | Review
Last night was fun…the problems were many and it was quite revealing to me why I have moved on from this scene and band, but I had a great time singing and dancing and especially enjoyed all the ballads!

Led by former Grateful guitarist Bob Weir, the… Continue reading Phil Lesh with RatDog in St. Louis | Review

I don’t even think they announced her at the show, b/c the whole time we all kept saying, who is that??? and she really didn’t do much for the songs. i would have at least expected her to stand out a bit during… Continue reading The Other Ones | Brendan Byrne Arena | Setlist/Review
Navigating the undulating route of HWY 93 from Boulder, our trusty VW Bus, along with the countless others migrating from the north, was a spectator to a spectacular lightning display. There’s an ongoing jest between my friends and I about the contrast we experience when we leave our tranquil Boulder bubble, venturing into Jefferson County… Continue reading The Dead @ Red Rocks | 6/15/04
