[GDTSTOO] an odd gaffe....
the latest missive from GDTSTOO:
I know that Bob Weir and RatDog and particularly also the
Allman Brothers Band play, and Rock....
It might have been all these weird preachers that you hear
and see about the TV these days, but more than likely my
eye problem was the culprit.

Supergroup KBM keeps it simple
"For every musical supergroup that makes a connection, 10 more fail to bottle any lightning whatsoever. More often than not, it’s a case of clashing egos, or maybe a surfeit of politeness and mutual reverence such that no one member dares to step out and be him or herself...So by that token, it’s no surprise that the best supergroups are ones that keep things fun – minimal agenda, familiar repertoire – and that’s the case with Kreutzmann, Burbridge, Murawski: cumbersomely, if straightforwardly named, and a group of new friends coming together with a “we’ll see” and “don’t overthink it” modus operandi...If you’re versed in jamband, those surnames are probably familiar..."Click here for the full article.

Phil Lesh Turns In Historic 5 Night Run At The Warfield Theater
San Francisco's Warfield Theater has played host to many storied moments in Grateful Dead history and Phil Lesh's recent five night run at the storied venue only added to the historic link between the venue and the band. For the first four nights, Lesh & Friends - Larry Campbell, Jackie Greene, Steve Molitz and John Molo - recreated the Grateful Dead's self-titled debut, Anthem Of The Sun, Aoxomoxoa, Live Dead, Workingman's Dead, American Beauty, Grateful Dead (Skullf**k) and Dead Set. As if the (practically) full-album sets weren't enough to whet the appetites of Deadheads everywhere, Bob Weir sat in for a healthy portion of the Dead/Anthem night and David Nelson joined the band for the Workingman's Dead/American Beauty evening.Click here for the full article.

Spirited Dead lives in set
"By 1973 the Grateful Dead had entered the second era of its 30-year run (1965-95). With the death of singer Ron "Pigpen" McKernan that March, the band had lost its bawdy blues soul. But Bob Weir's full flowering as a rhythm guitarist and songwriter gave the band another front man in addition to Jerry Garcia.Click here for the full article.
The band's songwriting prowess and productivity also transformed the structure of its shows -- from free-form jam-fests taking off from a handful of numbers the musicians played most every night to performances centered on their growing stable of songs. The Dead could still unleash 40-minute jams, but the improvisational playing was increasingly corralled between the lyrics of set numbers.
The superb new nine-disc box set, "Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings," captures the band on three hot November nights at its favorite San Francisco venue. The band rips through 72 songs in its inimitable blend of country, folk, jazz and psychedelia..."

Bob Weir Joins Phil & Friends for Grateful Dead and Anthem of the Sun
from Relix.com:
"Last night Phil Lesh & Friends opened a five-night run at San Francisco’s famed Warfield Theater. To the surprise of nearly everyone in attendance, Lesh and his friends ran through a complete version of the Grateful Dead’s 1967 self-titled debut during their first set, with Bob Weir joining his estranged bandmate for “Cream Puff War,” ”Morning Dew,” “New Minglewood Blues” and “Viola Lee Blues.” Weir returned at the start of Lesh’s second set as the bassist jumped headfirst into the Dead’s 1968 sophomore effort Anthem of the Sun , which includes classics like “That's It For The Other One” and early rave-ups such as “Alligator.” At the end of the night, Lesh closed his set with the Buddy Holly sing-a-long “Not Fade Away.” With eight sets and eleven albums to go, it’s a fair bet that Lesh will run through the Grateful Dead’s entire recorded canon over the next few days. Phil & Friends will return to the Warfield this evening. As of press time, the venue's future is uncertain."Night two they played Aoxomoxoa and Live Dead, which means tonight should be Workingman's and American Beauty...holy shit.
