    Battle of the J.C’s, Crosby and Chimenti both sound nice

      Jason’s playing vaugely reminds me of Vince Guaraldi especially in the Jazzy parts.

  2. Let Phil Sing

    What song do you think they will play next? The anticipation is killing me.

    Either they’re not playing, Phil and his friends have some really big parties, or audiences have gotten really rude lately …

    and I quote
    ““When I agreed to do Dead 50, my stipulation was, ‘That’s it,’ ” he said this week by phone from his home in Marin. Touring with the rest of the group “was a nonstarter from the beginning,” he added. “It was just understood. They were all ready before we even started rehearsals, talking about going out themselves. I’m just not into touring, and those guys are.” (Citing rehearsal obligations, the members of Dead & Company declined to comment.)”

    compared to tonight, dead and co did not sound practiced. I wonder what they were rehearsing

      It’s still early, but my money is on Phil and Friends. Totd (or anyone else) , ever been to any shows at the Capitol?

        It was a dump when I was growing up in the area.

      You’re not talking about the Capitol Passaic, are you? Thought you grew up in Jersey

      • thoughtsonthedead

        Perhaps. Depends on what you’re asking, mister.

    The refurbished Cap might be one of the best places to see music anywhere. I love it. Looking forward to seeing Phil there next week. Dead & Co today so we’ll see who’s bringing the goods. My money is on Phil. The Bob problem persists.

      Second that emotion. The new Cap is nothing like the shithole from the 90’s. Sound is fantastic and they’ve got projectors displaying color and content on the walls tailored to the performer/song. Not to be overlooked, they’ve also got an outdoor smoking section where you can also enjoy your spirited beverage (and smoke whatever you want). I just wish they had the food trucks that you used to be able to get a bite to eat during halftime. But that was when they first reopened a few years ago. Great venue.
