Three cheers for Phil Lesh , look at the enthusiasm in his face at 70 ! His Birthday is March 15th , mine is March 14th but I will only be 54. He is 16 years older then me and I could only wish that I will have his drive AND MIND at 70. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL , AND AT LEAST 30 MORE ! Look at Bob Weir ! It is really good to see these guys still jam like that. This musical form must be kept ALIVE !

Phil played the Ritter bass when I saw them and his tone was by far the best Id ever heard. Dead or not. His playing was great. Furthur is surely the best thing any member of the Dead have done since Jerry died. I am extremely impressed with what I saw/heard. Everyone loved it. It was the closest I have come to the vibe of a Dead show. Even security was slack at the show I saw.

I saw Furthur at the Auditorium Theater last Tuesday and wowowee, it was amazing. Closest incarnation to the Golden days I have heard since 95.

I was thinking at the show If they can keep this together for a couple years so everyone gels and gets deeper into each other, it's going to be amazing!

They did a hell of a job on It Must of Been the Roses, and blew my mind with Hurricane!

So i am even more convinced i saw something special the sat. show in denver cause friday in SF was i don't want to say a bummer but it was. Unfortunately it was more Chris Robinson and furthur but i never really liked the black pigeons. One interesting highlight was the Particle song they played, Phil really seemed to get off, but the whole show had to many guitar players on stage and like when it was Bobby,Warren,and Jimmy,and company during the 04, 05 The Dead thingey, it makes the beast more prone to trainwrecks....Speaking of trainwrecks did anybody get the lyrical changes Bobby made to Mingleweir Blues?

?Still like all Dead incarnations with or with out Jerry off nights can happen. This seemed alot had to do with crowd energy also, i noticed a large % of people on opiates and booze instead of L etc. so the energy of the crowd was off i'd say.
