I really enjoyed both shows. I think the venue wasn’t bad at all. It sounded great where I was standing. While I do prefer the Joy, they’ve simply outgrown that room. Looking forward to next year already.

You sure are triggered.

If this Grateful Dead cover band can sell out an outdoor amphitheatre in a state with legal weed faster than a southern jam band did 25 years ago, before the internet and social media and mp3s and every last stoner wannabe had moved to Colorado, well got dam I'm gonna have to check them out.

Do they ever play Touch of Grey or Casey Jones? Those are my faves.

Widespread cums thunder on stage. I seent it happen.

Tham just makes everyone else in the band sound like elementary school choir boys

The bass was thumping N2. I remember thinking that very early on as well.

Hahahahahahaha.


Thankfully jrad has some energy and doesnt put everyone to sleep like wsp.

Playin'>The Eleven>Stranger on N1 was probably my fave segment of the weekend but N2 had so many highlights as well.. Greatest Story Ever Told given justice as a nod to its opening slot on the now legendary 5.6.17 I, New Minglewood Blues ripping, and of course the torrential Cumberland Blues jam cyclone.

Think I'm going to go to that new Waterloo Festival in Austin this September. Wish it was 3 nights of JRAD instead of SCI but oh well.
