Great show! Nice surprise having Trey show up for the second half!
Raw - just Bob and Phil then second set was with trey and the place was rocking. Broadway invaded by a balloon parade What a long strange trip to see them again at RCMH
Bobby & Phil sounded better than ever during their first set of the second night of their two night run at Radio City. Fantastic versions of songs I have not heard live in a long time (e.g. West LA Fadeaway) and surprises erupting from jams (Cassidy->Touch of Grey->Cassidy)! Then the second set: curtain opens, and Trey is there with them. Epic set. Dream set list. (Including a Dark Star->Jack Straw->Eyes->Dark Star->Stephen!) Magic in the music. Everyone dancing and singing along. Still processing how glorious it was...
Fukin phenomenal. Absolutely the best experience to date. Radio City Music Hall is a beautiful venue with amazing acoustics. Bobby, Phil and Trey, need I say more
Great time, great venue, Bob and Phil had a great time Bob was telling stories and talking to the crowd. Good set list. All and all had a great time, I hope the two of them continue to do this type of show.
Great playing. Amazing how three players can offer such a full sound including on acoustic guitars. This correspondent found himself smiling throughout. Loved the heavy dose of times from American Beauty.
Great to see two legendary members of the Dead performing historic tunes in a beautiful venue. With no lead guitarist, it was neccesary to rework many arrangements, and there was an emphasis on slower acoustic renditions. The crowd was up and singing througout what was, overall, a great time.
Tremendous show. Amazing stamina. Can’t get enough.
Much better than I thought it would be. The whole band was great.
Although some of Weir's new material was just out of his vocal range and should be reworked in a lower key, his voice was in the best shape in years, the standards were both rousing and well-executed, and the musicianship exhibited was first rate. One of the lead players is, at times, prone to pealing out individual high end notes which are a little over the top volume wise, but this aside, I like the new band a lot. It would have been a quite enjoyable evening had I not been twice harassed by a venue employee who seemed to be tasked with seeking out people for occasional use of their cell phones. The second time I was sitting in my seat with my hands nearly in my lap, so couldn't possibly be bothering anyone. Since the reopening of the Saenger, my friends and I have looked upon it as an asset of the community and have enthusiastically supported it. That night my wife and I spent nearly $80 at the venue concessions alone, and paid almost $300, to just be there. This included 42% surcharge over the face price of the tickets, including a facilities charge that locally, only this venue seems to collect, about twice the surcharge of nearby venues. In spite of these excesses, we would have been reserved to continue our support of the venue, but paying this kind of money to be harassed by over zealous employees carrying out an unnecessary and cynical crusade at management direction was just too much. Since this venue, unlike others in the area, is no longer providing a fan-friendly experience, I and my friends will no longer patronize it. PS What? I get harassed for making snippets of video and then it is requested below to provide URLs for them? You got to be kidding.
More than I ever expected. Even better than the Dead shows I saw 40 years ago!
From the opening 2 song acoustic solo surprise of "Victim or the Crime > Throwing Stones" to the amazing electric 2nd set highlight of "Dark Star > Cassidy > Looks Like Rain > Cassidy" it was honestly more than I expected visually and sonically! Great venue, great imagery on the background screens that hit home the Americana/country vibe, and the whole "Campfire Band" feel'
This was a non stop fantastic show. Bobby starts out with an incredible solo set. Great picking clean clear sound. The full band comprised 3 incredible guitars. Our own George Porter aka Papa Funk was a featured guest. The Band played over 3 hours with the shortest breaks I have ever seen. The New Orleans Saegner Theater is an great venue not a bad seat in the house.
I'd been waiting years to get the same vibe as the Dead gave me and this was it. Eaitoful cenue and exceptionally beautiful show. Couldn't have asked for a better night of entertainment.
BOBBYDIGITAL. I was not aware this was not a wu tang clan show. I enjoyed it thoroughly anyway.
Loved the new material, loved the classics. A great show.
I've seen weir with ray dog several times over the last 30 years. This is easily his best solo work. No giant speaker set up. Just top quality sound played at a nice volume.
Many of the Dead oldies and some of the newer stuff from the new album.
As a solo artists and founding member of the GD, Bob is an extremely talented musician. cant believe I got a chance to share the experience with so many amazing fellow fans!
First set was all acoustic and was full of cowboy songs. Second set was electric and included a long jam, which floated right into Truckin. Indeed " Lately it occurs to me, What a long strange trip it's been". I saw Bob play this song many years ago in a small tavern, and wow what a long strange trip it HAS BEEN. I just received my alumni book with pictures of the late 60's and early 70's where they showed people marching for PEACE and LOVE, and this weekend I see people marching for tax returns, STRANGE still happenin. We still need PEACE and LOVE, and thus it is time to get back home, " Truckin' I'm a going home Whoa, whoa, baby, back where I belong Back home, sit down and patch my bones And get back truckin' on," Encore was an acoustic song followed by an electric and acoustic final song. Woohoo a great show, not to be missed. The Campfire Band was AWESOME !!!!
