Oh and on a side note, the Gathering of the Vibes Festival (GOTV) was awesome! We all had a blast. The drive up sucked, the drive back sucked, but the vibes were flowing freely at the festival. I'm glad our first family festival was the GOTV check it out here http://www.gatheringofthevibes.com/Home. We went on Friday, missed Jackie Greene (very bummed about that) because we were stuck in traffic in Brooklyn. But we got to see Robert Randolph and the Family Band , Steve Kimock, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and the best part of the day was of course, Furthur!
Furthur was awesome! Just like being at a Grateful Dead show, without Jerry of course. But the dude who sang and played Jerry's parts, herein referred to as Fake Jerry, was a worthy stand-in. Just looked it up, he's actually from Dark Star Orchestra, guitarist John Kadlecik. They played some of my favorite Dead tunes. I'll post the set list below.
