Daybreak On The Land - The Other Ones, Hartford, 11/22/02
<a href="http://mickeyhart.net/Pages/tootpd09.html"; target="_blank">Here?s</a> the entry from Mickey Hart?s Trip Diary. I did not share his enthusiasm for Robert Hunter?s set (which came during the intermission). It would have been fine if it was cut in half. The <a href="http://www.ctnow.com/entertainment/music/hc-otheronesrev.artnov23.story"; target="_blank">reviewer</a> from the Hartford Courant agrees with me. Other than that, it was a terrific show. It felt kind of odd hearing Jimmy Herring in Jerry?s place but he?s also been playing with Phil & Friends so it wasn?t too weird.
I?m such a moron, though. I LOST our tickets. As it turned out, it really wasn?t too big of a deal - just a lot of psychic energy burned. I went down to the box office thursday but they told me I had to call Ticketron instead. (I bought the tix online through them.) Ticketron just told me to show up at the box office an hour before the show with the credit card I used, an ID and the order number and I?d get new tickets. No problem really - except I had one extra ticket and not actually having it in my hand made it harder to sell. I gave it up for $15. I paid $50. Oh well.
Sure were a lot of happy hippies in Hartford last night. The Dead scene for me is like a cross cultural experience - sort of like visiting a foreign country where you don?t have to learn another language.* The exotic music! And you should see some of the clothes they wear! You should visit sometime. I picked up a very nice purple tie die t-shirt.
Afterwards, we trekked on down to <a href="http://www.blackeyedsallys.com/"; target="_blank">Sally?s</a> (it?s only a block from the Civic Center) and saw Lil' Dave Thompson & Big Love. Lil? Dave was on fire! It?s always good to wrap up the night with some kick ass blues...
* I've said the same thing about visiting the South.

Glad it was a good show though... I'm sure they'll be around again. And I've seen Phil Lesh and Friends and Bob Weir and Ratdog already so.... I can hold off till the next round
<strong>uhg... wish I got tix to see them at the garden... didn't know that Susan Tedeschi was playing with them.

You saw Dylan and I didn't. Man I hated to miss that show. He was in Hartford last Sunday night. I saw the Other Ones and you didn't. The choices one has to make...
Susan Tedeschi really was great. They should showcase her a little more.

Also, for anyone who goes in the future, if you're watching all that psychadelic stuff they project up on the screens, you may catch the occaisional glimpse of some iTunes visualizations, and I also noticed at one point, the picture of Jupiter from the "Cosmos" screen saver.
