Emily holy bejesus!
my friend and i caught this show "on the way" to coventry (in all actuality, it was 4 hours there, then 3 to get back on track afterwards) but hey, i'm not complaining! we got really lost on the way there and consequently missed the entire first set, but got to the "lawn" (if you can call a steep hill covered in 3 inches of mud a lawn) just as they started playing Lucy in the Sky, and that made up for missing so many great songs in the first set. Then we waited. and waited. we were so ready to get out of the car and rock out, and then we got to experience what seemed like the longest setbreak ever. it probably wasn't, but you know, timing is everything. so then they started the second set and WOW. i re-fell in love with bob weir as he sang peggy-o, it was smooth and wonderful. and Warren Haynes. oh my gosh. i'd heard some of his stuff before, but nothing could do justice to how he sounded that night. i don't know if he's always/only that good with the dead or maybe gov't mule is better live than on a cd, or i really have no idea. his voice is so like jerry's but with more blues and every note is on key! (sorry jerry, i love you wherever you are)
so anyway they brought out joan osbourne and i was VERY skeptical. VERY. but as soon as she got into the groove (which didn't take very long at all) she was on. so let's skip a bit because my hands hurt now. skip to...
SUGAREE! i think i shed a tear towards the end of this song, it was so beautiful. if you never hear another dead song, you have to hear this version of sugaree. maybe you had to be there, with joan and warren singing back and forth to eachother as she strutted around like a classic cabaret dancer (like from a classy cabaret though)
skipping ahead some more...
and then they finished tough of grey which didn't seem to fit at all but somehow was the only song that could have closed that set. some kid, as we were walking out, proclaimed "they totally pulled touch of grey out of their -bleep-ing @$$" now, if you think about this too hard, it doesn't make much sense, but at the time, it seemed profound. you think about that for a while.
ripple was fabulous. i feel bad not mentioning the encore. but this entire show was fabulous. i could write a book about the ONE set i caught. so yea, this was a great show and it was the start of a great weekend up in the northern kingdom!
