my undying love for bobby makes it hard for me to dislike ratdog, i just wish they were better. i'll probably still go to one of those ram's head shows though.

MILWAUKEE rocks, Jerry. not so sure about chicago and their...'inspired' police force though. have a good time. beer is cheap, and the riverside is chill.

mimiluv,yur fucking crazy,bobby is one of the best rhythm guitar players of all time. ratdog is sick, i love phil and friends,but phil turns his bass up way to loud. they just need to get the dead back together and let kimock play with them instead of haynes. don't get me wrong i love warren, but i think kmiock would mesh better with them.

I see ratdog and phil/friends shows in two different ways...ratdog has become more jazzy...very laid back...phil shows seem to be more "jammy" and heavy...I've seen both dozens of times and have had good shows, so-so shows, and great shows (the phil shows in Atlantic City a few years back were great...with robinson and all)...I know that if I'm going to see ratdog, I will expect a very laidback, relaxing night...phil shows will be a little bit more intense...I like the edge bobby brings with ratdog...the jazz sound goes well with some of the dead stuff...phil's singing can be hard to understand sometimes (depending on the venue and the sound)...all in all, it's just nice to have the opportunity to see "the boys" from time-to-time and get different slants on some really great songs...the music might not always be tip-top, CD sounding, but i guess there's DSO (if you need to satisfy that craving...)
