I think I just saw one of the most amazing shows ever! It was the opening show for their spring tour on 4/5/12 at the Wang Center. The boys came out so strong and really brought it to the table. Bob was amazing and totally took control of the night. They opened and set the mood with Playing in the Band and after that I knew we were in for a great night.. The first set was kinda mellow with a good build up with songs like Brown Eyed Women into They Love Each Other and ending the set with Hell In A Bucket. Intermission was a mob scene and I was puddled so I didn't make it too far from the seats lol, I sent the woman out into the swarm for a $5 water lmao.

Now the second set, OMFG, I think my mind is still somewhere at the Wang lol. I believe life changing is the word I'm looking for and I've thought before... They opened the second set with St. Stephen!! into Cosmic Charlie which were frickin awesome to hear. After cosmic charlie I knew it was about to get deep... When The Dead sings "go on home your mommas callin you", you know something big is about to go down.. An amazing Mountain Song was next followed by The Wheel!!! into an epic Uncle John's Band!!!!! After that they went into the most amazing jam of King Solomon's marbles and Black Peter. I'm talking a long, long, roller coaster jam putting us all through the wringer. They brought us all back to our senses with Shakedown Street <3 into Not Fade Away and we did the you know my love will not fade away hand clap.:clap:

You guys have to listen to the full show, it was so beautiful and they sent such a message. I will post some highlights but listening to it from beginning to end would put a better perspective on it. Words cant explain the emotion that they conveyed. Its almost like they were saying, "fuck you Phish, you aint got shit on that" They had such an amazing night, I am so glad I got to experience it with them.

Amazing setlist. Terrapin is epic enough by itself. Those are all my favorite GD songs! I've seen furthur play most of them but never all in the same night.. Wish DSO would do this show next time they come close

Exactly (you know through in a Candyman and a Reuben and Cherise to complete that set.... got Ruben and Cherise at first Furthur Show (3/8/10) which was interesting considering the Dead only ever played it like 4 times in the 90's).

NYE '10 I told my wife it's NYE show expect Sugar Mag after the countdown.... however they did a Stones song "We Love You" into Sugar Mag... Thought it was a cool message they were sending with that Stones song
