Disappointingly rough

Jeez, while there were a few high points, the show left me wondering about Bob's drug use, dementia, or disregard. It was weak.
Wow, what a difference a day makes. The venue and performance was outstanding, UJB to open, Bob's acoustic only first set featuring conviction , competence, and dream like moments throughout. The second set's Rosemary was absolutely sublime, The whole place went silent as we listened to the rarity delivered with reverence.
Bobby and Phil put on an excellent show. Their human and made a couple of small errors but so good they were!
Caught the second night in Boston of Bobby and Phil's short tour. They played some rarities and some classics. Good to see them together again and always fun to go to the Wang.
Bob & phil astonished with their seemless. Jams only capable from the endless years of playing together. Made for a crisp sound all dead fans could appreciate.. as a dead fan one can only hope bob & phil come back out again for more shows
Musically fine evening at the Music Hall- nice that the lads eschewed covers to concentrate on Garcia/Hunter material; Mountains of the Moon/Rosemary/Mountains was the highlight for me .Larry Campbell provided his usual tastefully understate work on mandolin, guitar & lute while Teresa ( his lovely and fascinating wife ) chimed in with high harmonies without having to be the center of attention. I do wish that 21st century Americans could A: put their goddamn cellphones away for a few hours and B: go out to the lobby if they feel the need to chat. Also, high priced low quality beer didn't help peoples level of concentration...
I went to both nights and the boys were on point! The venue was STUNNING...and I hope they host some future tours.
The guys were great! The venue was superb! The crowd was not so great....when did it become acceptable to talk through the entire performance? It was like being at a giant party and no-one was listening to or cared about the music. What a shame since this performance was a gift...how often do you get to see these guys play together without the craziness of a giant band, sound system, etc. in a tiny venue?
The show was stripped down perfection! Great to see the duo having fun and playing so well together. Great addition of musicians for the second set! Larry & Theresa!! Perfect blend of sound and skills to round out a great show!
Perhaps best said this way - I wish I could see them many more times. The price was totally worth it despite my first feeling that this was ridiculously expensive. Go, dance, hug, enjoy.
Amazing No need to say more.If you were not there look it up on line, you will agree, AMAZING,!
I have seen Bobby about 20 times and Phil about 30 times - When Further was playing I thought that was the best formation of the group. But having the chance to see just Bobby and Phil that was amazing - Really was unforgettable. My Wife and I had a great time and I hope they do this just one more time.
Such a great venue with amazing music...just what i needed.
amazing evening lets do it again bob and phil are great
Bob Weir and Phil Lesh came to town for the second of a 6 concert run on the East Coast as a Duo. Of course they are still full of tricks and after a great opening set as a duo, Trey Anastasio joined them to sit in for the entire second set. I hadn't seen them in many years so there was added nostalgia to the show. However, they played as if time had never been erased, pulling out classic Grateful Dead tunes which brought memory and joy to the crowd. What a very special night, which I hope will be released in some form by the Dead family in the upcoming future. If you were there you'll know what I mean and if you're lucky, catch any of the 4 remaining shows. All the very grateful best....
EPIC!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! BETTER THAN EXPECTED !!!!!!!!!
Enjoyed the first night so much I had to go back the second night. Hit the jackpot when Trey came out for the second set. Always a treat to see a show at RCMH. Great venue and great music. Win win.
great show they brought out Tret from Phish and did all the grateful dead classics - so glad to see them back together - this duo tour was amazing one of a kind experience
Such an amazing show . First time at Radio City hall and it was Beautiful ❤️
What can I really say? It wasn’t supposed to be like that. It was supposed to be a combination of two really great voices/players/bandmates going through a bevy of classic tunes. Instead, second set curtain raises, the mellow buzz is setting in, the lights are haunting, the first notes of “Playing in the Band” are being strummed ... and there’s the iconic Trey Anastasio, meshing with the gods. Bobby and Phil went from a cool idea to an unforgettable occurrence in the GD canon.
