For you Dimeadozen-ers, there are two Furthur shows from the Fox in Oakland on the Dime, a DSBD and a Matrix. I don't know where the soundboards came from as usually Phil announces such things.

The guitarist is from Dark Star Orchestra and has an uncanny similarity to Jerry, both vocally and on guitar. Kimock used to get accused of sounding like Jerry but this guy REALLY does. The rhthym section is very tight and I found the shows to be very well played. I guess having the DSO guy so familiar with the material made it pretty easy for Phil and Bob to pull this together with Phil, in particular, probably enjoying not having to be the band leader as he usually has been of late.

The third night DSBD just showed up, as well:

Ohh yeahh, thanx 4 postin this 1. Was there both glorious nights last yr & overjoyed. That'll mesh well w/ my seasonal migration from Eug, OR to N'awlins (eventually by M'Gras).
Had the good fortune of attending numerous Gr'Dead New Year's shows while volunteering w/ ROCKMED. Nothin' like a Dead New Year. C U there, mon :^)

Looks like NYE eve (30th) for me - can't quite get the wife to join for any of these post-Jer aggregrations But the good news is that my Dead tribute bandmates who didn't make any GD shows can get a glimpse and enjoy a great Dead family tradition! I've been away from the scene a while - who drops in as Father Time now in Bill's place these days?

I might suggest your wife may be over-thinking the whole thing. To those who insist "Jerry's not there", I recommend come, smile, dance & then dare to claim Jer's not there. Relax & rejoice! The boys are doing gloriously righteous renditions of Garcia's finest ;^)

Thanks for that, Denbear - I mentioned elsewhere here that my wife thought that one of the Fox Theater Furthur shows sounded like a late 80's set with the rare tunes & great performances. It's not that she's critical about Jerry's absence with these groupings - it's that she still feels his absence deeply. I understand, but I'm still goin'!
