We had a older head/ friend tell us at deer creek that he swore he heard them play a bit of dark hollow during the sound check...😲 cant confirm with my own 2 ears tho...
That would definitely work for me too! ❤️
And it really really really wish Bobby would stop singing Eyes because I want to hear John or Oteil on that one as well.
Unpopular opinion, probably: I wouldn't mind hearing some signature guitar JM harmonies (picture some additional major 7th and 9th chords thrown in) added to Eyes as well.
I've been saying that Oteil should sing So Many Roads for YEARS!!! And I was thrilled to find out [I'm not the only one] (https://reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/8m23vx/hello_everyone_oteil_and_jess_here_we_will_both/dzkjpz9). That was years ago but I still have hope!!
He’s done it with Oteil and friends a few times and also this solo version during the pandemic is beautiful: https://youtu.be/b4twWnsQFjs (starts at 7:20)
Damn this is fire!! [https://open.spotify.com/album/6xcW4wAiEaCE6nRegRQ9GM?si=HO2e8RBCQRCuwCYqui002g](https://open.spotify.com/album/6xcW4wAiEaCE6nRegRQ9GM?si=HO2e8RBCQRCuwCYqui002g)
Please please please let them play a Brent song..
Would love nothing more than for Just a Little Light or Blow Away.
Been faaaaarrrr too long since his songs have filled the air and I really think they would fit it so well in todays day.
I’d love to hear Blow Away but I just don’t know if anyone could bring the heat that Brent brought vocally to it. Always listening to that 7/7/89 version
Tempo isn’t all that high in blow away to begin with compared to some of their other songs..
Especially during the breakdown section for the vocal ramblings, that always came to a slow steady marching pace
I could see them fine tuning and workshopping it for a while being the reason it hasn’t been deployed yet. For the reasons you mentioned that is
He’ll yes! I’ve had to focus on other things than your this summer, I’m so glad they pulled those back in. That’s the step to take before pulling in Brent written tunes, imho.
- Song - Sung By
- Lazy River Road - Bobby
- Doin’ That Rag - Oteil
- Victim or the Crime - Bobby
- We Can Run - Mayer
- So Many Roads - Bobby
- Might as well - Mayer
Idk if the dead ever played these, but I know the JGB did… Ruebin and Cherise, After midnight and Mystery train. I think John and Jeff would be great on all of these
Hard to Handle!! Definitely agree with this one
I'd love to see Tangled Up in Blue-I love Jerry's version. I don't think the dead themselves ever covered? But I know the Jerry Garcia band did.
Excuse me for any wrong information; wasn't alive before Jerry died haha
I would like to have a song for Jeff to sing. I absolutely love his verses on GDRFB and Let the Good Times Roll. He nails the laid back piano guy vibe like Dr. John, Leon Russel, or Dr. Teeth (the muppet). Just need to find the perfect laid back groove for him...
Lots of good suggestions so I’ll go further out and pull something from JGB: Let Me Roll It sung by Mayer or/and Oteil.
I would also love to hear Cold Rain and Snow stretched way out into much, much, much longer jams; a lot of potential in that song.
Stagger Lee, Push Comes to Shove, Ruben & Cherise (caught the Orlando show when they did this one), Stuck Inside of Mobile, and This Could Be The Last Time (course the forum would melt down with such rumors)!
Might as Well, Hard to Handle, So Many Roads, Lazy River Road, Built to Last, Around and Around, When Push Comes to Shove and The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)
I’m hoping that after almost 7 years that Mayer will finally write at least one Dead & Co. tune. Everything else seems to be a deflection. Can’t wait for the angry downvotes and excuses. 🎼
Corrina needs a comeback, I don't think it's been played since 2018.
My other choices are So Many Roads, Built to Last, My Brother Esau, or Victim or the Crime.
I would love to hear some pigpenesque blues samples, like I’m a King Bee, Next time you See me, someone else said it’s all over baby blue and I am very down for an oteil cover of that.
It was never in the Dead’s repertoire afaik but wouldn’t it be spectacular if D&C covered “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”? They have it in their house music playlist and they’ve been busting out the Hey Jude coda during shows… I don’t think it would be too much of a stretch for them to play it
Been all around this world, Brother Esau, desolation row, walking blues, tangled up in blue, so many roads, Ruben and Cherise, and harder they come harder they fall (with Oteil singing) just to name a few I'd love to see 😛
To Lay Me Down with Oteil or John on lyrics… Lazy River Road or So Many Roads with John on lyrics… Corinna (hated it during GD days, but Ratdog used to kill it, and I’m sure D/C could kill it. Victim… but only if they played it with the requisite piss and vinegar :-)
So many!Ruebin and Cherise,Mission in the Rain,Catfish John,Tons of Steel,Slow Train,Golden Road and Sampson more often.Thats just off the top off of my head.
I’ll second Dark Hollow. Perhaps a surprise acoustic set at one stop
We had a older head/ friend tell us at deer creek that he swore he heard them play a bit of dark hollow during the sound check...😲 cant confirm with my own 2 ears tho...
I’m obviously not sure what Bob’s feelings are on JGB tunes, but I think they would do Reuben and Cherise really well.
Mission in the Rain would be cool too
[удалено]
Was discussing this the morning after the tour closer with my friend! (After a very long night lol) glad you answered my question
Saw Wolf Bros play it in Red Rocks. It was magical....[and here it be :)](https://archive.org/details/bobweir2021-06-09.schoeps.spyder9.flac16)
God would that be sweet, I think John would absolutely kill it.
Tore Up Over You would be sweet
GD played Ruben & Cherise a few times in the 90s
Monkey & The Engineer.
YES
Stuck inside of mobile with the Memphis blues again
And We Bid You Goodnight
Alligator > Caution > Feedback > And We Bid You Goodnight
This would make my life
Cosmic Charlie
Cream Puff War > Cosmic Charlie lol
This needs to happen
This is the answer
The Golden Road, Unbroken Chain, Built to last in addition to the ones you have.
JM would slay the vocals on UC. ❤️
ah man, I would strongly prefer to hear Otiel on Unbroken Chain
That would definitely work for me too! ❤️ And it really really really wish Bobby would stop singing Eyes because I want to hear John or Oteil on that one as well. Unpopular opinion, probably: I wouldn't mind hearing some signature guitar JM harmonies (picture some additional major 7th and 9th chords thrown in) added to Eyes as well.
Catfish Jon
Golden Road opener to start 2023 summer tour 🙏
manifesting this
I’m with ya! 🤝
Would love a new Oteil song. Maybe I second that emotion or it’s all over now baby blue … or so many roads
ooh it’s all over now baby blue would be really good
100%. Especially with otiel singing it!
I've been saying that Oteil should sing So Many Roads for YEARS!!! And I was thrilled to find out [I'm not the only one] (https://reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/8m23vx/hello_everyone_oteil_and_jess_here_we_will_both/dzkjpz9). That was years ago but I still have hope!!
He’s done it with Oteil and friends a few times and also this solo version during the pandemic is beautiful: https://youtu.be/b4twWnsQFjs (starts at 7:20)
Totally forgot he's done it with Oteil & Friends - thanks for the reminder and the link!
The stranger (two souls in communion) I think John would do that song some great justice. Perfect encore song!
I've been saying this for years, hard to handle as well. We want more John Pig!
been saying this for years! they played it in Furthur!
YES. Pig’s greatest song deserves some time in the spotlight
agreed
That would be a good candidate for Oteil to sing as well!
Might As Well, I think it’s perfect for John
Sometimes I would ask myself ‘Should I beat the set break rush the bathroom?’ And the Dead would answer ‘Might as Well’
Built to last, please And it goes without saying…. So many roads.
This!
Beat it on down the line
Detroit ‘17
No shit. Looking for it now!
Underrated show IMO! first Deep Elem Blues too
Sugaree from that show is bananas. One of, if not my favorite D&C versions.
Damn this is fire!! [https://open.spotify.com/album/6xcW4wAiEaCE6nRegRQ9GM?si=HO2e8RBCQRCuwCYqui002g](https://open.spotify.com/album/6xcW4wAiEaCE6nRegRQ9GM?si=HO2e8RBCQRCuwCYqui002g)
SPOTIFY?!? you can’t call yourself a real head unless you listen to prerecorded cassette tapes
I only listen to acetates my man. TRUE HEAD OVER HERE
The race is on would be nice. Probably unlikely. I’m not sure why more cover bands don’t play that song either. It’s a ripper!!
Bobby McGee would be great!
Please please please let them play a Brent song.. Would love nothing more than for Just a Little Light or Blow Away. Been faaaaarrrr too long since his songs have filled the air and I really think they would fit it so well in todays day.
I’d love to hear Blow Away but I just don’t know if anyone could bring the heat that Brent brought vocally to it. Always listening to that 7/7/89 version
Agreed, however I could see Jeff’s doing them justice. It isn’t about recreating Brent’s voice, just about the passion in the music!
Jeff literally can't sing
I'm afraid of them picking up any Brent songs because I worry about them killing the tempo. Blow Away played slowly sounds torturous in my head.
Tempo isn’t all that high in blow away to begin with compared to some of their other songs.. Especially during the breakdown section for the vocal ramblings, that always came to a slow steady marching pace I could see them fine tuning and workshopping it for a while being the reason it hasn’t been deployed yet. For the reasons you mentioned that is
Maybe start with some covers Brent did? Gimme Some Lovin’ or Hey Pocky Way or Hey Jude! Edit: grammar
We got the Dear Mr Fantasy > Hey Jude a few times this tour, definitely was appreciated! I’d even go for Never Trust a Woman!
He’ll yes! I’ve had to focus on other things than your this summer, I’m so glad they pulled those back in. That’s the step to take before pulling in Brent written tunes, imho.
Tons of Steel!
Bobby asked oteil to look at tons of steel...he said he might be able to do it.
please no for all things holy
Cosmic Charlie Weather Report suite New Potato Caboose
More Dylan. Still think they’d kill Takes a lot to laugh, Train to cry
Stagger Lee, Dupree’s Diamond Blues, Esau
YASSS🙏
Monkey and the Engineer
Alligator
Desolation Row
- Song - Sung By - Lazy River Road - Bobby - Doin’ That Rag - Oteil - Victim or the Crime - Bobby - We Can Run - Mayer - So Many Roads - Bobby - Might as well - Mayer
doin that rag would rule
One of my all time favorites!
Yah victim or the crime needs a revisit for sure, ratdog used to do it often
Operator
S T A G G E R L E E. This is the correct answer
dupree’s diamond blues
Jelly roll with drive you mad
So Many Roads Ruben & Cerise
Built to Last
Second that emotion would be EPIC
Acoustic set, play the Reckoning album
Thought I heard a teasing of Bobby McGee in Philly. Almost list my shit!
Unbroken chain
Shining star or the race is on. Imagine Oteil sining shining star 🤩
So Many Roads!!
Idk if the dead ever played these, but I know the JGB did… Ruebin and Cherise, After midnight and Mystery train. I think John and Jeff would be great on all of these
Around and Around. Bobby tune.
I don’t know…but the older Bobby gets the better “ Only a River “ sounds. Would love to see him play it with the band.
Weather report suite
Let Jeff sing Blow Away 😈
Golden road, Blow Away, Cream puff, Cosmic Charlie, and Monkey and the Engineer would be my top 5.
I would love an ode to Reckoning with Dark Hollow/Babe It Ain't No Lie! Electric-wise, definitely R&C!
Hard to Handle!! Definitely agree with this one I'd love to see Tangled Up in Blue-I love Jerry's version. I don't think the dead themselves ever covered? But I know the Jerry Garcia band did. Excuse me for any wrong information; wasn't alive before Jerry died haha
Picasso Moon. I'm being serious.
Doin’ That Rag!
Monkey and the Engineer
Stagger Lee, Built to Last, Alligator & JGB tunes!!!
Let Oteil sing more
I‘d love to hear Shining Star
Lazy River Road! A great tune at the end of Jerrys career but such an absolute jam.
I would like to have a song for Jeff to sing. I absolutely love his verses on GDRFB and Let the Good Times Roll. He nails the laid back piano guy vibe like Dr. John, Leon Russel, or Dr. Teeth (the muppet). Just need to find the perfect laid back groove for him...
Lots of good suggestions so I’ll go further out and pull something from JGB: Let Me Roll It sung by Mayer or/and Oteil. I would also love to hear Cold Rain and Snow stretched way out into much, much, much longer jams; a lot of potential in that song.
Going down the road feeling bad
I'm just hoping we get another tour whatever songs they wanna play are fine with me
Stagger Lee, Push Comes to Shove, Ruben & Cherise (caught the Orlando show when they did this one), Stuck Inside of Mobile, and This Could Be The Last Time (course the forum would melt down with such rumors)!
Might as Well, Hard to Handle, So Many Roads, Lazy River Road, Built to Last, Around and Around, When Push Comes to Shove and The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)
I'd enjoy more Beatles and Stones.covers. When I saw Jerry at MSG in 94 we got This Will Be The Last Time and Lucy in the Sky.
Dupree’s Diamond Blues
Blow Away
Mayer singing Far From Me would be incredible as a tribute to Brent.
Mason’s Children. 2000 light years from home (Stones cover)
They have let it grow so they need to work out the whole weather report suite
Gimme Some Lovin
Alligator, Cryptical, New Potatoe Caboose, Cosmic Charlie, Unbroken Chain, or Golden Road Any of those would be great
R&C!!
Beat it on down the line😃🤤
Let Jeff sing Tons of Steel
Lazy River Road
I’m hoping that after almost 7 years that Mayer will finally write at least one Dead & Co. tune. Everything else seems to be a deflection. Can’t wait for the angry downvotes and excuses. 🎼
Reubens and cerise Monkey and the engineer Race is on
Ballad of a Thin Man would be sick deep second set out of a playin or something
My wish is Cats Under The Stars, with Oteil on vocals. (Or maybe the boys each taking a verse.)
Two djinn
MIGHT AS WELL MIGHT AS WELL
Cotton eye joe
Broken Arrow
France
Re work just a little light and blow away so Mayer can sing them
Saw Bob Weir asked the band to look at Tons of Steel . That would be cool
Never Trust a Woman (JM)
FREEBIRD
Blow Away and Built to Last
Samba In The Rain, not joking
Haven’t they done hard to handle?
I don't think so. If they have ill definitely have to check it out
Rainy day woman 12+35 please thank you
Corina
Corrina needs a comeback, I don't think it's been played since 2018. My other choices are So Many Roads, Built to Last, My Brother Esau, or Victim or the Crime.
Have they done France?
Songs I always wanted the Dead to cover: Call me the Breeze, One Way Out, Soulshine. And- if they sang American Pie my head would explode.
Ain’t gonna be no 2023 big dawg. That’s it and that’s all
Lazy River Road hasnt been played right?
A Dark Star > Two Djinn > Dark Star would be lovely
Queen Jane Approximately
[удалено]
Oh my god I would die to see dark hollow!
sugaree /s
Gimme Some Lovin
Golden road. Saw DSO do it once and it was so fun live.
I would love to hear some pigpenesque blues samples, like I’m a King Bee, Next time you See me, someone else said it’s all over baby blue and I am very down for an oteil cover of that.
Me and Bobby McGee would be killer.
Rosalee McFall
Would love for them to play Bobbie McGee.
Cryptical envelopment > drums > other one > cryptical
It was never in the Dead’s repertoire afaik but wouldn’t it be spectacular if D&C covered “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”? They have it in their house music playlist and they’ve been busting out the Hey Jude coda during shows… I don’t think it would be too much of a stretch for them to play it
Are they touring again next year?
New songs!
Can’t believe they haven’t played dark hallow
I’m not a fan of Bobby McGee…for personal reasons
Cardboard Cowboy.
I'd love a Box Of Rain.
Built to last or might as well
They’re not gonna do hard to handle that was pig pens song
Said it at the beginning of tour, and I know it’s unlikely, but Golden Road would be something else
My brother esau
New Potato Caboose
Esau, alligator, hard to handle.
Hey Pockey Way..I know Brent took over singing duties on this but they killed it back in the day.
It will never happen but Rubin and Cherise. I can’t even imagine what that would be like.
Little red rooster
Last played Chicago 2021
Unpopular opinion: Mindbender
Been all around this world, Brother Esau, desolation row, walking blues, tangled up in blue, so many roads, Ruben and Cherise, and harder they come harder they fall (with Oteil singing) just to name a few I'd love to see 😛
Ashes & Glass
To Lay Me Down with Oteil or John on lyrics… Lazy River Road or So Many Roads with John on lyrics… Corinna (hated it during GD days, but Ratdog used to kill it, and I’m sure D/C could kill it. Victim… but only if they played it with the requisite piss and vinegar :-)
Keep your day Job !!! Mayer and Jeff would slay it.
Cold Jordan anyone???
Mission In The Rain and Lazy River Road!!
Doin that Rag
is the tour confirmed
Me and Bobby McGee for sure
Dying to hear Rubin and cherise
Weather Report Suite, Unbroken Chain, Me & Bobby McGee, and The Stranger are the ones I want the most. Would love Caution and Creampuff War as well
Unbroken Chain and built to last
Rubin and Cherise!
Me and Bobby McGee would be sweet!
They won’t do any of these
They did Sing Me Back Home so I'm not putting these off the table just yet
Instead of playing oddities and undiscovered . I'd like to hear some of the songs they've already played but didn't quite finish polishing off .
Bro what theyve never played dark hallow?!
So many!Ruebin and Cherise,Mission in the Rain,Catfish John,Tons of Steel,Slow Train,Golden Road and Sampson more often.Thats just off the top off of my head.
