The Dead | 05.16.09 | The Gorge
The Dead hit the final stop of their tour at the legendary Gorge with the Allman and Doobie...

this review didn't even get the highlights of the show. in the first set for the dead there was an amazing sunset just to the left of the stage that was taking place and the band came on just after the sun went out of view. durring the second set the sky was perfect. a very clear night with all the starts shining over the venue. eyes of the world was amazing and the jams sounded awsom. drumz > space > days between> dark star part 2 was an unreal deep personal hour for everyone there just looking around the lawn i was sitting in every one was layin on there back or standing up lookin in to the sky. it was a very pure and deep momnent. the set list could have been better but for how they day unfolded adn show the venue looked between sunset in the first set and a perfiuct star filled sky they entire set list perfictly fit the day. crazy fingers was an amazing jam and the transition into dark star part one was great. i hope we can get a post of soem of the sunset pics for durring hte first set.

one of the funniest moments of the show was durring the music never stops some fan walked on stage and walked past phil and made his wya over to bobby befor security got him and arrested him. wondering if anyone rembmbes seeing this?

Did I ever mention how much I HATE the new message board system?!!?

man, i missed the allman brothers in fayetteville,AR last october and i kick myself everyday

This is the most Dead on review I have ever read. The experience was amazing, the ABB rocked, the Dead were weak sauce. The Gorge is absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend that anyone who can see a show there does. Honestly, this show made me more excited to be able to see Phish at the Gorge in August. Phuck Yeah!!!!!!!!

well if this is the allmans' last tour, that's disappointing--but i'm glad there's the two september shows here in chicago at northerly island...at the very least i'll be outside kicking it on the water...

Next. Wanee.

Did Gregg really have oxygen on hand? Is the Gorge at altitude or something or is he still sick? I really hope he's better in time for Wanee because I don't know if I can go to another one without him.

Wow, had no idea Bob had such a 'Jerry belly' going on...

"Dead" on review. I had an excellent time none the less. Many music fans surrounded me in the 26th row "dead" center and we all had a wonderful time. It's the sense of community and the gorgeous surroundings that made this night special for me. I couldn't help thinking as Phil was singing Box of Rain that I was witnessing my last Dead show.

bahaha. the doobies need 10 guitar players.

First post is hilarious! "in the first set for the dead there was an amazing sunset just to the left of the stage that was taking place and the band came on just after the sun went out of view." Uhhhhh, ever been to the Gorge before? LOL Generally speaking, highlights aren't the drums>space>days between that goes on for too long and leaves everyon estaring at the lawn. I'm glad you had fun though

I just wanted to comment on how personal and moving this review was. well written and from the heart. my favorite song catalogue and greatest venue I have ever attended. I appreciate the perspective this was written from as well.

Thank you
