From Dead.net: "Preparations are going well for tomorrow’s live broadcast from Worcester."

Anybody know WHERE this will be broadcast?

iirc.... sirius radio- grateful dead station

Anticipate but i hate the wait! Because its not everyday that the best comes to town ...all those special people hang around... worms will represent!

Lots of stuff left to take for a ride tonight....

Creem Puff War
Terrapin Flyer
Blues for Allah
Born Cross Eyed


Oh yea

A China > Rider would be a whicked pissa

I'd be lovin' a Warren Wharf Rat...

where did you read that this would be broadcast??

"Sirius XM's Grateful Dead Channel will take you inside select live performances of the upcoming tour, and resident experts David Lemieux and Gary Lambert will give you the play-by-play from backstage and beyond. The first live broadcast hits the airwaves on Saturday, April 18th from the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. " - dead.net

The buzz has been on the air waves for some time now. Gather your buds and have a listening party, the show starts at 6pm Standard Time, on the Sirius/XM Grateful Dead Channel
Cheers

thanks for the info...am stoked because i'll actually be at this one!!!! here's hoping they make the first broadcasted show of the tour special!!!! what time have the shows been starting??

From what I have seen, 7:00 PM is the starting time for most of the shows, (correction from early post xm broadcast starting at 8pm standard time, I was thinking backwards from mountain time zone) so the show will be around 2/3 over when the broadcat starts...... just enough time to get stoked over the setlist

Just signed up for the free trial on Sirius.I know what I'm doing tonight.. STOKED!!

[so the show will be around 2/3 over when the broadcast starts ]Does this mean its not being broadcast live.. Really??

from what I have gathered from all of this, the show in Worcester (eastern time starting around 7:30). The xm plug said the show would start, at 7:00 mtn time (assuming 8 standard, 9 eastern? ) Just passin' on what I had heard.

Thanks Rob, appreciate the info..I'm excited no matter when they start the broadcast

I just heard a new update on xm and the time is set to broadcast, 8:00 PM EASTERN.

So I guess I shouldn't check the updates into the broadcast starts. They must have to delay it.

so no delays on the sirius feed cool

here we go show started

SOrry I met to add sounds like a stranger to open, I don't know what do you think

i feel like it could be coming david

bobby singing .. sounds good

You beat me to it Autumn. My fingers are having trouble keeping up with my brain.
must time for another puff

Any one know if the Sirius feed and the live discs are the same mix? Sounds nice

this is so amazing to hear this real time...truly this is where technology shines...sharing with the masses as the very show is happening. I love! That duprees had me shaking my booty!

now warren . . lots of vocal sharing

Althea (bw and WH trading lyrics)

Not sure about that Kev. What will be funny is to see how many ppl type "looks weak on paper"
SO far nothing is weak from what I can hear.

this is not weak at all

tonight has the making of till the morning comes

Wish I could hear it! But it is fun hanging out waiting to see the next song typed! Althea... cool.. Had a feeling that was coming tonight : )

So two more songs given theyv'e been doing 7 a set? China>Rider? lol

No joke David, seen plenty of shows in the 80's that looked extremely weak on paper but smoked, and the opposite where you would love to have been there, but then listen to the tapes and realize that you didn't miss much

Micheal you can sign up for a free trial with Sirius.

I'm tracking the songs which I will be more than happy to share with when the tour is over.
So far 67 no repeat tunes

This is definately NOT weak

Sounds damn good here in West Va!! Michael: quickly go tp XM online and sign up for a free trial. I signed up 2night and am listening to it there.

Birdsong

birdsong

caboose ?

birdsong ?

So sweet!!!

Bird Song?

not rushing into it. Maybe we will get a full blown one instead of chopping it up

birdsong... I think

Not sure if its Bird or New Potato ?

off to signup for a free trial! thanks for the tip!

yes

phil or bobby vox????

Birdsong but no lyrics yet to confirm

here we go !!

>>Any one know if the Sirius feed and the live discs are the same mix? Sounds nice<<

The SBDs sound much, much better. If you're listening online without premium membership, you're listening to maybe 96kbs, and if you pay for premium online membership, its 128kbs. We're talking poor MP3 quality. If you're listening to the satellite dropped into a radio, it's probably slightly better; but you still aren't approaching anywhere near lossless. There's still a load of compression and lossy-ness.

And I suddenly want to make love. BIRDSONG!

bobby

Birdsong settles into the back end of the first set as it was played so many times....
bw ,wh trading vocals

warren/bobby luv fest

thanks sound, I have the premium and it sounds pretty good, but if you'll telling it's even better from the sbd's they should sound really good.
It's kind of cool hearing the crowd...

bet PHIL sings final verse

sweeeeet. I am in! lol... live dead : )

Hope You're Right!!

China cat for #7
Or will they make it an 8 song set?
Or even start 2nd set with Ryder?

and the crowd sings

hah... Weir forgot to look at the teleprompter and sing into the mike at the same time....

They've been locked in seven song first sets all tour. It'll be interesting to see if they break that with this China Cat

here's to em breakin out of the seven tonight!!!

cuz here comes the Rider . . .

maybe close with rider.
A Bobby flub so you know it's a good show.
They started at 7:40. I think Greensboro 87 minutes, the last two were about 70 minutes

I'm down for that JS!

Yes, Autumn, this is sick!

If 7 makes Phil happy, then let it be 7. Rider can come later. He's sharp as a tack like that. He's an elephant. He doesn't forget.

tease... lol

Let's do it!

there it is... billys on the beat

lol . . . .there it is

mellow rider

hmmmmm

What The Hell Was That?

whew. . that was a close one *wipes his brow*

yeah!!!

I think the crowd pushed them into it.
number 8

literally almost "missed" that rider . . lol

Warren tearing up the Brent-like vox....

seems like they got a little confused there ;-}

I knew a family man in the 80"s that would rent a Ryder moving van and take his family of 4 in it on tour. He would get black duct tape and spell I Know You on the side of it.
Always think of Daddy Don when I hear this song.

I noticed that also. . .

I suspect they discussed whether or not they would do Rider to close first or open second, to be based on mutual energy. The "eyes" have it!

nice!

Wow!!Feelin' It

waS that phil saying "Let's do this.."?

That's what I'm saying. Phil was leading into it and then I thought they were going to go after it and that's where you hear the crowd start singing and Bobby says let's do it.
Did anyone else catch that also

Nah it was Weir: Let's Do It

i heard that as well

Definitely Heard That

goooone gooone gooone

nice

SWEET!!!

Incredible first set.. I am impressed. WOW... Having a great time.

Thank you to The Boys and Sirius!!

That was a fine set!! They do seem to get sharper and more confident every night. No repeats so far, correct?

No repeats so far; you are correct

Bobby and Warren tradin off lyrics in Duprees and Althea brought a different energy to those tunes.

Encore tonight: One More Saturday Night > fist of the tour

Thanks Sirius for the three day trial!

I bet they were coming of stage all going wtf?? was that? regarding the China>Rider transistion.. gettin big laughs back there.. Thats good because that will really lighten the band up... strap in. We're in for a great 2nd set...

Cream Puff War?

Or maybe scarlet>fire??

i think scarlet>fire would b nice!

maybe an Alligator opening of the 2nd set.

Tim M I saw your post and I'm thinking they played Sat night already on tour and then remembered that Greensboro was on Sunday. One of those days today. The Cavs were my opening act tonight the Indians beat the Yankees 20-2, grill going and then this so thanks for getting my days straight Tim

Cream Puff would be a bad ass 2nd set opener

Reading all these reviews I can't wait 'til Friday and Sat. Enjoy the 2nd set all!! Peace

any one here do GDTS TOO for any of these shows. How r the seats? I mail ordered for the Gorge, and got a charge on my card but no tix yet.

Gimme Some Lovin'!

Thanks for the tip on the free 3-day trial David Stock!

Thanks Autumn for the Sirius Feed..I'm catching what I missed at the beginning of the first set.

I'm wanting Lazy Lightning or St of Circumstance.

rocking Easy Wind on GD channel now, reminds me how sweet that was Tuesday night in DC

where's Lemiuex and Lambert with the supposed 'updates' of the show/scene??

got all my tix from GDTS, good to great. Charlottesville we were 6th row dead center. DC we were toward the back, had no idea Tipper Gore was on stage. W-B and Philly got great seats. Meadowlands good one night, great the next.

No problem we want. I'm sitting here by the computer ,kids, wife upstairs but it don't feel like there is nobody else here.

too much too fast?!?!?

Thanks Tim...

Lovin' life! Sittin out on the back porch on gorgeous WV night. Wife and kid asleep snug as bugs. Waitin' on my boy, though ;}

30 min break so far

Where in WV? We camp at Smoke Hole regularly. Big state I know...

here we go . .

ready to launch...

playing the Wailers in the background

Shepherdstown . . . eastern panhandle

Sounds like a go

wait for it . . .

any minute now . . .

Ya'll ready!?!?

fooled us...

lost the feed to worcester . . .

Speachless

this ain't funny. get NASA on this shit RIGHT NOW!

XM is still playing canned stuff, did 2nd set really start?

monkey and then lost. What the darn heck

we're back phew!

wheel

Here we go... Scarlet?

Wheel??

ah Wheel it is

Dancing!!

dancin

dancing . .

dancin'!!!

hmmmmm

Man I love Jeffs playing...

a little 'clunky'

Dusting it off to practice before MSG... a little sluggish so far.

Dancin in Chicago, down in LA and over in Worcester

is anyone playing guitar?

better

thanks warren

Kind of reminds me the way Warren approaches shape I'm in. Slowed down and a little funky. Takes a few minutes before it starts to groove on you.

the space ship is going to take off

hmmmm

I don't care that Bob flubs lyrics, or that he needs slapping back into earth time, but his vocal phrasings are really jagged. He's attending different board meetings than the rest of them. Not to be negative, but some ideas are just bad ideas. He turned Foolish Heart into a slug the other night because of it.

jeffs brought it up another level

glad theres a real B-3 back in the mix... : )

say what ?

milestones Sweet!!

Milestones!

milestones

Milestones! Fully developed.

MILESTONES!!!!! My life is now complete

what is this jam? sounds familiar...

amazing

muchmuchmuch better

should have refreshed before hitting post lol...

The jam sounds like that song Blue collar by BTO.
I know it ain't but it sure does sound like it.

This is Phil and Friends with Bobby, Mickey and Billy!

Phil rules!

Sweet!!!!

Let my inspiration flow...

>>This would be a good one with Banford<<

Please don't say that. No sax. Please, NO SAX! SATAN!

missing Jerry

Let Phil Sing...!

Ah Zeno... Sax is good. Bongos are Satan...

warren!!

warren

Cant wait til the Byrne w/ Branford

more cowbells

Milestones was worth the price of admission, what a solid version. Now, will we get the Flyer after Terrapin?

Yeah,MORE COWBELLS MAN!!!

Warren has to carry so much...he must be growin greatly...

Warren has such a good ear. He can hear when something is amiss with his vocal phrasing and correct it almost immediately. It's taking the difficult art of singing and playing at the same time up to the next level.

well put August

I'm only getting to two shows - hoping Sirius does many more of these live broadcasts!

so nice

yes yes

Bobby steals the inspiration...

go bobby

bobby of course...

So the Monkey: Was that filler or was that played tonight?

TNK out of space?

TNK Outta Space Would Be A-OK By Me

Wife and I were at Albany, back home restin' bones. Wife asleep, kids in other room watchin' god knows what and me, grooving to show on laptop through a pair of cheap Jensen computer speakers.

Maybe Wheel next?

still here. found myself just listening to days

Gimme Some Lovin?

anyone at the show to post some pics? TRob?

17 minutes days between

Cold Rain?

bird song reprise?

some more birdsong

no that would be a repeat...

back into birdsong maybe

phil's verse

yup

dark star!

They didnt really finish Bird Song in the first set

Remember the birds at the beginning of the drumz...

This is fun. I missed a big part of the set due to family obligations.....

Not bashing, but was put off by Bobby's behind the beat vocal delivery on Days Between. Was it "dyslexic reading from a teleprompter" or is it his "interpertation?"

Nice playing all around by everybody. Nice loose, conversational jamming after the Days Between. Sounded like it could have become a Spanish Jam. It just keeps going on and on. I heard it start to go into He's Gone. Now I'm hearing Other Oneish notes.

great playin through here.

i was waiting for it
what about the wheel

since 10:30 they have played nothing but "days between" almost an hour of show

very nice jam

remember the raging, late 80's Bird Songs that had almost an Other One Jam in the middle?

haha.. nice call

first split Bird Song?

Splits across sets...fine!

doesn't that phrase sound a little like Milestones?

we all know Weir routinely forgets to look at the teleprompter... and is prone to off-beat lyric repeating improv (Rappin Bobby!) please dont say snow and rain again...

they split it at red rocks in 04

nice audience singing!

The years of 88-90 Bird Song Out Of Control

JS, better change that to BS Part 1, BS Part 2...

love to all the band, but this singing-by-commitee shit is the pits. It distracts from the song and puts the focus on whose singing it...even when the handoffs aren't clunky.

sat night

I thought The Eleven was coming there for a moment.

of course

not the encore!

way too early.... cmon

singing by commitee= the great compromise

Jack Straw, I would add "Jam" after Days Between.

More committee = less Weir

I mean room for a stronger encore now that this is out of the way!

no Dylan tonight.

encore The weight

Oh to hear Jerry singing Baby Blue!

wheel encore

What time have the shows been ending? Time for a long encore?

Again, haven't been paying too much attention. Set seemed short on songs but long on playing. Just over 90 minutes?
