ParticipantIf anyone has not been to bt.etree.org, your missing out on two awesome shows that are available for download. Bruce performed 2 shows with Bob Weir back on 3/31 and 4/1 of this year. Both shows are awesome! It was really cool hearing Bruce’s take on some classic Grateful Dead Tunes like Mexicali Blues and Hell in a Bucket. Those two should tour more often. The sound of both audience recordings is top notch. He even plays a brand new song for the first time in public! Robert Hunter sent him the lyrics on new years day! I think it’s just as good as Cyclone.

ParticipantI was a little disappointed in Bruce’s setlists. I wish he would have busted out his best stuff seeing that he was playing for a mostly GD crowd. I read a lot of heavily criticized whining off another message board about Bruce’s performance and comments from these two shows.
I do love the Bruce/Bobby together part of the show…that Lady with a Fan > Dark Star > The Other One was sweet. I also love that Bobby busted out a solo My Brother Esau.April 11, 2012 at 2:11 am #33256Takavl

I didn’t know you were such a tease. 🙄
I liked “Esau” as well, but the version of “Lady/Dark/Other” revealed (IMHO) how much better BH’s voice is than Bob’s. Another interesting facet of the recordings was Bob’s guitar stylings in a solo environment, i.e. no Jerry. I was surprised that when he played blues-style (“Hell,” “Esau” for two exs.) he sounded good, but in a more poppish format he came off as not so “there.” IMHO, you know.
Your Rays are on top of the world, broheim…my Bobby V crew not so much. 🙄 I attribute it to The Curse of The Epstein. 😆

ParticipantT…yeah Bobby V ain’t helping much which is actually surprising me as he is one of my favorite skippers other than Maddon.
Yeah solo Weir is some good stuff brah. He is a great guitar player especially at acoustic guitar.
The site full of the whining was the ratdog.org board…full of people who think a Fake Jerry is appropriate to play with former members of GD but will whine about Bruce’s between song banters. Go figz. -
