In another time forgotten space

We gotta help keep up the momentum from last night going for tonight. ((((((((((((Good energy)))))))))))))

Guys the faithful want us to only put reviews in this thread, so I just started a thread in Other for us all to do our pre-show thang,

I know tonight is going to be real good. Hartford loves the Dead.
Thanks

The tune I would most like to hear tonight:

"A Little Peace For You"

...a Phil gem that the Dead broke out right here in Hartford on 6/21/03.

I wish they would bring this one back!

Anyone know if this is streaming somewhere tonight?

2 threads and i want to know which one taperob is using.

hmm

No streams tonight at all. Taperrob is not there to upload to live365 or gdradio so we will just have to wail Till The Morning Comes to hear this one.

Amazing how many tunes they are playing with so few repeats thus far- and especially impressive that warren remembers most of them pretty darn well.

Very nice show, heavy on the Bible themes for Sunday (Watchtower, Peter, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, King Solomon, Samson and Delilah, "there is a fountain that was not made by the hand of man")

Great to hear Bertha, very well played and truly the rocker of the first set along with a smokin' Cumberland bookend!

n.c. on till the morning comes, nice to hear but I think the execution was just a tad off

Better Rooster than most I remember, and reasonably lengthed. Beginning of a very long middle section that was very slow in tempo but very musically enjoyable. Warren's Watchtower was great as usual, but much more subdued than, say, Warren at Wallingford back in 2004, which was white hot.

The heads really got stoked for West LA, and Warren puts some nice cadences on the lyrics, as he has started to do with many of the old jerry tunes

Set 2 started out very slowly, but I say that in a nice way. In particular, TNK was very thick with sitar swirls and good job on the words by the Bobster.

Unless I was double taking, they did the "See hear" part of Black Peter twice. It's my favorite part, but I think somebody (not mentioning any names) may have lost track.



Greatest Story was a pleasant surprise (perhaps I should have expected) and I enjoyed it a lot. Might as well report that Bob was unable to pull the last Abraham and Isaac out that was needed to close the tune, so we ended up with 4 or 5 stabs of Moses comes ridin' up on a quasar. Admittedly a train wreck of an ending, but it's not like we don't have flubs on verses going back 40 years!

Space / Drums / Space was really spectacular, the Space was full band out of GSET. After the band left, Jeff had some techno going with the Drummers which was very cool. Jeff left the sta

Jeff left the stage and then the drums solo began, very classic stuff including Mickey pounding on the big one in the back very loudly along with Bill driving the kit loud and fast.

mickey closed it up with some great vibrating bar, joined onstage by Bob.

King Solomon was tight and crisp, and the laid back first set stuff / second set opener followed by techno drums followed by boomers followed by tasty vibrating bar into space followed by this Jazzy Solomon made for a real interesting meal of many savory flavors.

The heads really loved the Viola, and the long awaited Samson was a rockin close.

Ripple was tender and spiritual, a nice match for Saturday's Brokedown.

Very nice downtown in Hartford, I suspect the pre and post games were happy times indeed.

see y'all in joisey

Eddie nailed it but I will add Bertha was the best opener I have seen on this tour, it was right on and high energy.

Row Jimmy was really good with great vocals and the audience sang along.
Glory Road was a sweet ballad and I think Warren was happy that the band played it so well.

Cumberland was killer, much more intense than Albany and longer too.It was wild, one of the best moments out of 5 shows for me.
The Weight was a nice surprise, although I heard them teasing Passenger.Tomorrow Never Knows was one of the best I have heard, between Phil playing a mouth sitar and Warren lead's which were hypnotic it was quite wild.

Black Peter really had a wonderful groove and was quite heartfelt and Jeff and Warren played a sweet solos. Bob was alittle spoken word on it.

GSET was incredible but bringing back that last verse got messed up, the funny thing was Bob approached the mic to finish it but then pulled away suddenly thinking the rest of the band wanted to extend the jam and then when he went to do it again big botch up lol.

Drums was the same piece that they played in Albany, Jeff started with them and it was nice.
The post space was killer and a total surprise.
The King Soloman Marbles was fully played out and had some really tight changes, much better tahn previous version. Then to drop in Viola Lee, which zoners I gurantee you will love, it was wild and totally intense.They raved it up big time.We were dancin our asses off on the floor behind the tapers.
Samson was the best of the three and we rocked that old building big time.

Ripple was amazing and the audience sang so loudly that the band almost stopped singing at points.

Wow what a weekend of music one for the ages!!!
Considering what they did and the variety of the material, it was pretty spectatular.
This show was really where Warren unloaded big time too, he started steering the ship and it was nice to see.
Second set, except for GSET was much tighter than the previous second set.
Just like Nassua it was so easy to get onto the floor and then they had no seats behind the tapers again.It was sweet.

Awesome! psyched they played another great show, as it seems by the reviews. They are starting to find there groove.. very excited for Tuesday.

Needless to say I'm a little bummed I missed Rooster...

Long awaited Samson? Isn't that the third time they've played it this tour?

Sunday tradition ^^^

A fine show in Hartford, much better than I expected to finish the weekend.

I give the band an "A" for effort and a "B" for the results. There were some trainwrecks but the high points more than made up for them.

The second set, especially Tomorrow Never Knows and King Solomon's Marbles is da good stuff!!!

the drums/beam/space segment at hartford was superb - the highlight of the show in my opinion

to have to go into solomon's marbles was absolutely superb - very nice to hear this tune after all these years

the tomorrow never knows was also very spacy

my only thought is what the show would have like if they had done TNK right into the drums/space segment - that would have been really sick

also, the lot scene at hartford was WAY OUT THERE

there were no cops anywhere - until the very end -when all they did was drive into the lot slowly with the lights flashing - kind of like the way kids walk into a crowd of seagulls to get them to fly away

lots of nitrous around the lots - a great drum circle in one lot, and a nice warm night with a gentle breeze - very nice lot scene until the cops showed up

Great show; great weekend of music all together. Haven't even shaked it off yet! Good times all around, and being from the area, i agree with Grubby, good lot scene. Pretty lax chill time after a hectic MSG show lead into a nice sunday night of music without any hassle...

Like he said, long awaited just meant all day Sunday in this case, started at the opening chord for Bertha!

Truly a fine show.

kacide - i completely disagree with your police comment.
there were cops EVERYWHERE.
shutting down shakedown, giving vendors tickets, etc... they were brutal all day long.
then after the show police on bullhorn: get in your cars and onto the highway. they were pricks.
the lot sucked balls to me, but still managed to have a fucking blast.

man, i never saw that

i didnt do the lot before the show - i can only talk about after the show - we were wandering around for about an hour before any fuzz showed up with no hassles at all anywhere

So here's a quote from a thread over in Other Stuff. Can any of you were, you know, actually there, confirm or deny the following?

>>I cut out of Hartford during Black Peter and someone said yesterday that Hart had to go backstage to get Phil because he stormed off the stage after Weir fucked up the words to Ripple...

you left and missed King Solomon's ???

.....that is a damn shame man. Black Peter is'nt THAT bad!

The cops were imdeed shutting down vendors w/o permits and writing tickets.....but, during the show the uniformed cops inside on the floor were just hanging and letting things be, we talked to 2 of them during set break and they actually liked the music and asked us about the tour and stuff. I saw 2 cops going around popping nitrous balloons after the show in the garage...and i felt like joining them...way too much nitrous on this tour IMO...but overall five-ohh has seemed low key and minimal.

you know what - i think there must have been just a few cops going around and clearing places out - cause when they showed up at the lot a block behind the hilton and the center - with church street running on one side - everyone left, but then we went into the hilton/public parking gargage - and it was filled with people and several nitrous vendors - and no cops - they must have already come through

Word. I think for one there were so many different spots to chill that we all got some different perspectives. I covered a fair amount of ground before and after the show. Shakedown was hot enough for me not to spend too much time there. I saw them doing something with one guy who was wasted. he wasnt in cuffs when they all stormed by...but they were keeping an eye on things before. After for at least an hour it was straight rampage. everywhere. it was a symphony of tanks...god help us.
THE SHOW, the show, the show...
The first set was strong...Ida liked an opening jam>Bertha but im not complaining about them kickin it off right away. ALl the songs were fun. But like Row Jimmy is always great being a part of live but that jam didnt strike one of my deeper chords. Watchtower was chilled out version. Phil was tucked back i believe more into working with billy and mickey and integrating his new toy (the ritter) Neither Phil or Warren seemed to step forward and take charge. I guess i am just gonna attribute this to it being a sunday and not forgetting the fact that they tore MSG a new one and raged Nassau that Fri & Sat. But anyway that was a great first set overall. West La,Cumbys was my fav. great opening jam>cumbys strong close
I did believe at the time that we were set up for and amazing 2nd set. And i needed a Help>slip>franks. I didnt mention yet that i started up in 216 grooving with a bunch of friends over the railing (i had tickets for 103 i believe) i scouted out a path and halfway through west la i grooved right down there, snagged a damsel in distress along the way, & brought a homie to floor row B in front of warren. Word met some good peeps up there.
2nd set Just didnt meet my expectations. Im okay with musical mistakes!! obviously!! or i wounldnt be such a fan and go to as many shows as i can because they are original and unique,, But that ripple did kinda make me cringe once or twice. especially realizing no franks. i shouldnt be so hell bent. I love the jammys. but why couldnt we have that dark star v2 here.
I Do Agree the Space>drums>space was captivating and got me going when Chimenti laid down those illll house beats. It was cool to see Phil on whatever that little white reverb toolbox he was holding up to the mike and playing with. The weight, eh, i dont knwo why, but i am sorry boys. Black Peter classic tune...i miss Jerry. Greatest Story...Love the tune wit was fun. But what i am trying to say is that they built up their jams into things that didnt really go anywhere and then jsut ended. Even King Solomon's I would love to know the time on that section. How awesome is it to have that follow space>drums?space tho! Viola ( i was hungry for a sandwich) and the samson jsut didnt do it at that point. I miss barraco. And Phil.
It was great to see all the boys... but it did remind me of their 04' tour in the sense that i furthered my appreciation for Phil and all his merrymen ie. Barraco, JG, Larry Campbell, Barry Sless, Ryan Adams, Jimmy Herring, Joan, Molo, Winwood, . I hate to say all this but i jsut wanted it to come out the way a truly felt.
This has been the only dead show i have gone to this run. I've listened to WB, MSG, both Worcester a little Albany. It wasn't supposed to be a powerhouse show. It was fairly nicely put together. Execution was sub-par. Got some good pics from 2nd row. till try to post...

Ok all, that was hard. Kinda looking forward to Phenway!!!!!

in another time forgotten space

"that little white reverb toolbox "

box sitar

thank you

Is this show posted anywhere? No archive love as of yet....

Just got the Hartford show. It was ok at best in my opinion. Nowhere near some of the other shows. Bobby REALLY hacked it up in the 2nd set! He shouldnt be singin The Weight, Tomorrow Never knows or Black Peter, they were REALLY painful to listen to. Oh well, most of the other shows real good tho!

I was there, I thought it was a good letdown show after MSG and Nassau. The Tomorrow Never Knows was a definate psychedelic flavored keeper. The vocals weren't the best, but it was a first time played to my recollection. The King Solomon's was real good, also first time played, more recent ones are better. Viola was good also, nice Ripple for the end of a great weekend.

You have to take the show in context with the tour IMO.

... and so it begins

Yeah can't wait my home town

Me too. Although its not really local for me. I'm down in Fairfield but traveling up - suspect at least 10-20 folks I've met around here are going from.

I'm in, scored tix last night.
I dreamt the whole second set last night:

Aiko-Aiko > Estimated > Terrapin > D/S > Dark Star> Sittin on Top> Dark Star > Lazy Lightning-Supplication. Low Spark > The Eleven.
encore: Revolution > US Blues

Here we go!

Just realized there are 2 parallel Hartford threads going on the "Show Reviews" board (not to mention the Hartford "pre-show" thread at the "Other" board).

so which one?

any one at the show?

what thread is the amazing taperob using? that is the most important thing i need to know.

me three

ok
