we saw one of the first shows that Jeff was with them and it was surpisingly good. He's a very good player and has a great grasp of the material. I assume that now, after a few months of playing together their repetoir is expanding and they are becoming cohesive. When we saw them they did not cover a show, just played.
The show was at the Calvin in Northampton, MA
But of course, have a listen for yourself. DSO@Archive

Still top notch. Different, and maybe even in a way - improved? Mattson's mastered pretty much the entire Garcia catalog in his 30 some years playing where JK has barely scratched the surface. IMO Jeff's playing is flat out better, too bad he's temporary.
Rob Eaton has stated publicly that JK has made the decision not to return to DSO post-furthur, so the future of the band will definitely be interesting. I've got my $$ on Stu Allen, especially since Melvin has been doing so much more with Kimock than JGB these days.Last edited by BSS; 01-08-2010 at 07:30 PM.

If any New Englanders will be at the shows in Hampton Beach at the end of May, post up. There are some things to which I just can't say no.

I'll be at Hampton Beach both nights, most likely get a room at the beach for the weekend. Pretty sure we'll be getting the Stu treatment.
Saw DSO with Jeff last Fall, they rocked, he rocked, we rocked. DSO will keep on keepin' on as long as we keep going to see them.

Check out this Alligator solo. If'n Mattson ain't direct-channeling the fat man right here, then I really don't know what else to say.

Jeff had some throat problems in Hampton. They played two original sets to give him a break on the vocals. But he rocked, DSO will be just fine.
Not to mention he's husky and wears aviator glasses, just sayin'.

Good shows. I liked Saturday better. Friday was more mellow. They did play a lot of tunes I hadn't heard them do before.

Mattson is awesome. Get to Jay Peak for Jeezum Crow festival next summer. So laid back. Friends were hanging with Barraco after Rutland last week and he said they're definitely going back.

Rob Eaton is supposedly the biggest asshole around, but I don't go for the conversation. They really are awesome. Phil is just a totally different thing, which I love, but nothing scratches the GD itch like DSO, Plus my wife loves them, and looks awesome in her hippie skirts......

That's kinda funny as a few people I knew met Jerry and Bobby and thought Bobby was kind of an ass too. But like anyone it can depend on the day I guess.
My wife digs DSO also, so we always have a good time.
Funny how many kids at these shows never saw the Dead live. Met one guy who has a terabyte dedicated to the Dead...which is apparently every live show. It was painful for him to say that he never saw them live. He went on to say he missed Highgate because he had to take SAT's. Assumed he'd catch the next local show that never happened.

It is kinda strange seeing and talks to folks at DSO or other related shows that have never seen he Dead. On the other hand, it says a lot about the music and the band. It's awesome the music has that kind of affect on people that were never part of the dead scene.
Hell, I dig on old blues guys that were dead well before I was around or old enough to appreciate music of any kind. I like to think I keep that fire burning a bit.

I just got tix for the run in Boulder in March. Looking forward to seeing them again.
After seeing Joe Russo's Almost Dead last month, they definitely have some competition.
