me when an excellent jam botches the reentry into the song

a screencap from frasier where frasier and niles cheers. the text is white and says "what's the one thing better than an exquisite meal? An exquisite meal with one tiny flaw we can pick at all night"

Shocking even to us: new research finds that nearly half of Live Nation's amphitheaters are actually municipally owned; LNE is operating, often with sweetheart deals. That means state and local government is subsidizing the illegal monopoly.

Evict Live Nation

In April, a jury found Live Nation liable for monopolizing the concert industry. The basic story you’ve probably heard is that Live Nation built its monopoly by buying competitors and linking its venu...

Okay 9/18/87 REALLY gets cooking at the start of the second set. I'll take this Shakedown alone over pretty much any jam in that first set

Help On The Way Podcast @helponthewaypod.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Not particularly nuts about this first set but the Sugaree was awesome and the Bird Song was very cool - jam gets intense, but sometimes the parts wind up tripping over each other

I do love a Little Red Rooster where Brent scats along with his solo. But there's no other way to say it, this one sounds like he's having sex with the B3

Missed the anniversary by a couple of days but giving 9/18/87 a listen. I have heard that Dew / Good Lovin' dozens of times, but I actually don't know if I've ever listened to the whole thing

Billy Strings / TAB was maybe the easiest concert ticket buying experience I've had in years??

What do you think is the meanest Grateful Dead song? I've always been of the opinion that it's Hell in a Bucket (LOT of bite in those lyrics), but I'd love to hear other opinions

Jumping around. Now at the 10/27 Dancin' in the Street. There's just something cool about those early Brent days - everything is possible and nothing makes sense. Love hearing Jerry's Mutron sailing over the waves of Brent's keyboard sound

In a '79 Dead kinda mood today. Currently rocking the 5/5/79 Sugaree - hell of a build in this jam. Everybody playing for their lives at this peak

Well, we're a community theatre with 65 seats, and wound up with 30 comments trying to sell 4 tickets each. Also none of these names are on our ticket registry, and none of them follow our organization's social media pages. Could be people and not bots (big maybe), but they're definitely scams

This woman should leave her husband and come see Into the Woods

A screenshot of a Facebook comment, where Jackson moore writes "WTF, 🥲 I bought my tickets on time.
But unfortunately "Hubby" said that we can't make it up anymore due to changed of plan, interested & lucky one should inbox me to grab them at a reduced price!!"

The community theatre company I run is doing Into the Woods right now. We just posted about how our show was sold out, and within a few minutes we had fifteen bots comment letting people know they had tickets available.

A screenshot of Facebook comments, with white text against a gray background. Jessica Taylor says "I have tickets available and can sell them separately if needed. Just looking to transfer them to someone who can use them, not looking to make a profit." Harper Jeffrey says "Got ours unfortunately family engagement will deprive us attending. Like, comment and Dm for the four tix if interested." Barbara Emily says "I got 4 extra tix." Georgina Howell says "Would want to know is anyone still in need of tickets because still got four of our tickets I’m trying to get rid of for less due to change of plans. Thanks." Garcia Angelina says "If anyone is still searching for tickets, I've got mine available."

Crazy vibes at the Billy show tonight. Kept seeing the word “sodomize” on Billy Strings pages and thought “well this can’t be good”

About a year and a half ago, I got to interview Betty Cantor-Jackson for the Help on the Way podcast. As a plug for her GoFundMe, I compiled my favorite moments into an article: thejunkmanschoir.substack.com/p/its-all-ab...

"It's All About the Space" - My Interview with Betty Cantor-Jackson

Betty talks everything from Cornell 77, being the only woman on the Grateful Dead crew, to her relationship with the tapers.

This tour has totally made me understand why the Dead always used to play "One More Saturday Night" every Saturday night. You gotta remind the audience what day of the week it is.

I was listening to the 4/2/95 "Eternity" yesterday and I think it might be a better song that I've given it credit for. When the band is on it, they're ON

Didn't get any answers here, but found some great ones on reddit, with 4/23/83 as an especially strong highlight

What everybody's favorite 80s The Other One? Was going through my list of highlights and I realize basically all the ones I have noted are from the 60s and 70s. While the jam gets more compact in the 80s, there have to be some killer ones out there I just haven't heard

Was listening to 6/22/76 for the first time in forever, forgot how good that Playin' in the Band is. Gets to be so many jams, even a little Fire on the Mountain-y for a second. New favorite version

Just saw a video of someone singing Vera Lynn to old people in a home despite most of them being too young to remember the war, and it's unlocked a new terror in me of being elderly and them making my teenager-in-the-00s ass listen to WW2 music because "that's what old people like".
