Tweeprise
I attended this monster show, widely regarded as one of the top 10 post-hiatus/Phish 2.0 shows. With the Destiny Unbound bustout, 30 minute Tweezer, Hood, Bowie, Gin, and Birds of a Feather, it’s not a suprise this show gets so much attention. The band lays down some of their most impressive and cohesive long improvisational jams of the later years, especially on Tweezer, Birds and Bowie.

The Dead were busy this Monday, making 4 separate appearances throughout the Big Apple over the course of the day. While the day closing set at Roseland Ballroom was already covered here on Welcome To Now Blog, let me bring you up to speed on the rest of the day’s events in case you missed it…
The Dead started the day off with a morning appearance on the TV show ‘The View’ and offered up this take on Friend of the Devil with an alternate verse by Phil and only one vocal flub from Bobby:
Stop 2 of 4 was at the Angel Oranz Foundation for a matinee 5 o’clock acoustic set by Phil, Bobby, and Warren:
Dire wolf
Birdsong
Cumberland Blues
Pride of Cucamonga
Lazy River Road
Casey Jones
E: Ripple
Bird Song:
Pride of Cucamonga:
Lazy River Road:

The band then shuffled over to the Gramercy Theater for stop 3, with the the full band joining forces for the first time in the day. After a face-melting 20+ minute Playin’ opener, the band delivered a hit-filled performance featuring:
Playin’ In the Band>
Good Lovin’>
The Wheel>
Franklin’s Tower
Touch of Grey
The Dead played a series of free shows in New York City yesterday, culminating with a full band electric set at Roseland Balroom that raged from 11:20 PM to 1:00 AM in the morning. Enjoy the following setlist, review, and download of the show here on Welcome To Now blog!
Setlist:
Althea
Cassidy
Uncle John’s Band
Eyes Of The World
St Stephen (w/ Eleven teases)>
Dark Star (w/ Eleven and Other One teases)>
Sugar Magnolia (w/ Sunshine Daydream ending)
Encore:
Not Fade Away
It was an odd scene at Roseland last night, what with the free tickets, last minute announcement, late show time, etc. It was hard to believe you were about to witness The Dead play a 3,000 person venue but at 11:20 the lights went down and the band filed out onto stage. After a few minutes of ‘dead air’, the stealthy Althea progression emerged and Warren led the band through this soulful classic. Warren did this Jerry tune justice and a patient and restrained jam followed.
Bobby then took the reins for Cassidy and delivered a suprisingly strong performance. The band began to settle in and Phil and the drummers were locked up. The boys kept the cheese factor going and broke into Uncle John’s Band next. By the time UJB rolled around, it was clear the band was both practiced and focused on keeping this a flub-free show. After Saturday night’s Allman Brothers debacle, they rightfully felt they had something to prove. While the band was executing consistently on point, it was at the cost of more adventurous and energetic jamming. At the same time, it’s clear Warren is still settling back into his role in the band – trying to find that balance of paying tribute to Jerry and playing his own southern-blues-rock style.
As the UJB sing-along subsided, The Dead switched gears and launched in the spacey Eyes intro groove. What followed was the most exciting and experimental jamming of the night. Both Chimenti and Phil really shined in the 2nd half of the show and brought about some exciting jamming. After Eyes, the band continued into outer space with St.Stephen>Dark Star – a 35 minute sequence with moments of rocking jams and moments of Phil n’ Friends-esque ‘space’. This was by far the meatiest segment of the show and the band just continued to settle in and loosen up. As it got well past midnight, the band returned from the cosmos to bring it home with Sugar Magnolia, complete with the triumphant Bobby reprise Sunshine Daydream. While this was an energetic and fun rendition of Sugar Mag, the Eleven and Other One teases heard within the previous segment left something to be desired in song selection.
After a quick break, the band returned to close out the evening with Not Fade Away, complete with crowd clapping/sing along and some of the most energetic jamming of the night. The crowd was dancing and euphoric as The Dead brought things home on a high note. The band took a bow and Phil reminded the crowd that they’d ‘be back in a few weeks’. Stay posted for full coverage of the upcoming Dead Tour that kicks of April 12th in Greensboro, including full reviews of the MSG and Spectrum shows.
Today, something happened that rocked the core of my economic belief system, I received FREE (yes, Free!) tickets to see The Dead (yes, Bobby, Phil, Mickey, Billy + Warren and Chimenti) at the 3,000 person capacity Roseland Ballroom. For those of you who missed yesterday’s events, the Dead sent out an email at 5:52 PM yesterday to dead.net email subscribers only announcing a series of 3 free concerts to take place in NYC on Monday. Tickets would be given out to ‘loyal’ fans who entered an online form between 6 PM and 9 PM yesterday with results to be announced today. Low and behold, I awoke this morning to the following email:
“Congratulations you have been selected to receive Two (2) tickets to The Dead Set 3 performance at Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Monday, March 30, 2009. The performance will commence @ 11pm.”
To keep the free love flowing, enjoy this SBD copy of The Dead from Bonnaroo 2004:
