You'd like JRAD too

[@shalimarroman4782]

August, thank you so much, sincerely, from the deepest core of me, for sharing this with me... My Lil Brother DOES ROCK! Our connections are deep seeded, and we're just discovering ALL of his, Chris' and my EVERYTHING! How amazing! ❤ My soul is ON 🔥 FIRE!

[@sheilamorley4658]

I was there!!thank you

[@thereelmccoy25]

Wish this band would have stuck around and had an opportunity to gel. This could have possibly been one of the most wonderful versions of "Cassidy" ever. Who in the hell is going to harmonize with Bob Weir when they can't harmonize? If they would have just let Bobby sing this by himself, it would have been so great.

[@andrewblack7852]

Bobby is like Joe Biden at this point. Doesn’t know where he is or what singing sounds like

[@phishela]

Amazing! Thank you guys :)

[@dwightdengler6628]

[@allenarmstrong7097]

I actually met Reed in Philly at a sold out Mann center in which he went to will call made a call then moseyed on in and I actually went under the fence which was Free99.... And a hella great show of interested it's same year but in Philly not sat Lockn'..... Which I might day will be hard to top my last one with A short conversation with Trixie Garcia, going with a most amazing beautiful momma aka Jenny A... Plus it was my last shows with Phil Kutno whom died rip due to C and with Phil opening for Phish and I sold both pieces I painted during both sets of Phish and Phil's one long show it was really awesome because I didn't have any more Canvas so Phil K. Gave me poster board which igessoed and then painted selling it for 300 and Phil for 250 best two painting gone ever and also my last show I'm itching to get back on the road again natural born living on the road again

[@tonydanis1480]

Once Kreutzmann gets the chance to drum solo, he really shines..............seems he was always forced to play artificially slow with the Dead.

[@pac401]

+Tony Danis I couldn't agree more. Billy is a fantastic drummer when he's alone. I always thought the Dead's best years were the single drummer years in the early 70's. Just my opinion though.

[@tonydanis1480]

A lot of people think that way, pac. We are going through a period where the Dead's contribution to music and history is being re-evaluated as never before, and Billy's contribution and drum mastery is finally being recognized as never before. Frankly, Micky was a fine sonic experimentalist but something of a plodder as a conventional drummer. His contribution to the "Drums" segment was considerable, however. I could see, in a better version of events, him not playing regular drums but instead allowed to orchestrate a phenomenal 20 minutes Drums/Space segment each show. He could concentrate his talents on providing a spectacular extravanganza, and the rest of the show Billy could singly propel the Dead through the song list with his really slick, sophisticated drummming.

[@viking6834]

Great concert!

[@MrMortimer0122]

twas a good one

[@VibrationsfromMirror]

[@richardcheeze1180]

Nice! I wonder if young billy will be invited to bohemian grove!

[@lokijam]

This is awesome but it makes me miss Jerry 😥

[@mikearringtonbf52]

My last Lockn

[@keithfarrington8179]

Bob W & Bill K synchronicity

[@Mr123pbd]

only if slow and co played like this

[@dobroanjo]

trust fun band

[@richerlennon9429]

Alex Borsody i trust it

[@thomasbell8599]

This was the surprise show of the festival for me -- knew nothing about this band, and was in fact a bit skeptical, but they killed it. Bobby was so much more effective and on point than he was in Chicago, felt like the best Ratdog shows without the annoying saxophone. LOCKN is famous for exceeding expectations.

[@JohnDoeDeadhead420]

The reason why they killed it, is because all of Billys projects are the shit. Always have been

[@tonydanis1480]

+Jason E You're so right. Read all the Dead bios and they talk about how he was the most laid-back and chilled. But, in reality, he was the financial expert in the band (was actually CEO of the business for several years), a truly great and extremely sophisticated drummer, and a musician with a great talent for assembling bands. Really a supercompetent individual.

[@jerbear-mane8362]

annoying sax? you mean the best part of old ratdog.............like da fuuuuuuuuuuuq you on!

[@jerbear-mane8362]

id cut off a finger to have the 2002-2007 dog line up back.....best tours my life

[@davidl2822]

@@jerbear-mane8362 I saw my share of those shows. Allways good

[@mikearringtonbf52]

Wasn't this the 1st night, impromptu show up the road in Charlottesville?

[@andthemushroom]

Interesting, they did some audio editing at the end of NFA to the mics. Why?

[@TheBrendan23]

It’s cool and all but DANG! Hahah!

[@greenmason87]

Who is playing bass? He's killing it.

[@777Yoni]

+mason giem I believe it is Reed Mathis

[@Cbrad422]

+Bruce Johnson yes reed mathis. he is phenomenal and a really awesome person. met him at peach music festival he was walking around the morning of the billy and the kids set talking to people

[@nedgentz5740]

GSET is a great opener. Bobby is very animated here. I think I prefer Billy as solo drummer

[@zadley91]

Where was Kimock?

[@banterbussjoey6009]

that was the Locknstep Allstars, not Billy and The Kids

[@Howsyer]

When Mickey came out, I was hoping Phil would be soon to follow. Even with all the BS at the start, Lockn2015 was an incredible experience.

[@rossturcotte419]

🌈⚡️

[@jonkiparsky7369]

I could have done without that harmony vocal on Cassidy...

[@jameytinnin1]

where can you get an audio copy of this show?

[@michaelryan4458]

Record it off this feed.

[@andrewhall6964]

who is playing bass in this?

[@mdml9062]

Reed Mathis, a bass master, cool to see him playing this material IMO

[@MAGA_COWBOYS__WorkinDRUMMER]

One more Saturday night was rough. way out of key. Gotta rehearse... Other than that it was a solid Show

[@bigsadie3405]

not to be a negative nelly but id take reed on base over le$h any day , this was the heater

[@jerbear-mane8362]

MAN does the kid RUIN CASSADY....geeeeez his and bobbys just didnt match til he started matching bobs low voice half way through, bobby rips some real quick pycha - jazz riffs not original to GD

[@williamdennis9383]

Chill out...

[@jerbear-mane8362]

excuse me? it sounds terrible and not bobs vault, expressing that doesn't mean i need to chill out...

[@MrStuVW]

though I don't agree with you, you DO get to voice your opinion always.

[@robertnoble6956]

His voice is too loud in the mix. The harmony shouldn't be louder than the lead.

[@danmurphy2565]

What...? You mean one of the endless attempts by an ex-Grateful Dead to make money conjuring up the Dead experience rather than actually make new music failed? Life as we know it is over...

[@andrewblack7852]

Bobby is like Joe Biden at this point. Doesn’t know where he is or what singing sounds like

[@spark810]

Imma get hate . That is the worst Peggy-o I 've ever . Including cover band's in dive bars . The rest of the show was pretty good .
