Went to the Warfield this past saturday...Good show...Weir sounded in fine form...My personal highlight was The Other One with both verses It felt good to be surrounded by Deadheads again...last time I saw a Dead related show was The Further Festival in the late 90s. The Warfield is a great place to see and hear a show...Good Times

My personal Highlight was Tennessee Jed but I am partial to that song. I also really dug Help on the way. My buddy next to me said he was in a trance during Come Together and that is pretty far out impressive because he is not the "trance" type. I'm ready for Phil Lesh and Friends!
I saw Ratdog this past summer with Kimock and they sucked. Kimock didn't go off and rock out at all.

i saw rat dog 10.31.05. what a fantastic show...no complaints here...not sure if it was the weed and beer but they were messing with the sound a bit on the board....
i see ratdog all the time and must say yes, when kimock was temping the shows were not very good...bob still did what he does, jeff on keys was stepping up big time in the absence of their lead guitar player...but the sound, the mix, kimocks tone, his go no where noodley solos, and his constant 15th+ fret antics...every time he took a lead i was like 
(with two or three exceptions, i saw him pick a rockin jack straw at one show, a sweet big RxR at one, and some sweet lap steel on candyman at another) 3 interesting leads out of like 7 shows i saw...he is very boring, his tone makes me cringe, he has no stage presence, and half the time during the verses he doesnt even play...he leaves a huge void in the sound...i am soooo glad to hear Mark Karan is healing up and will soon return to his spot in ratdog

I think the show started at around 7:30 and ended at 1:30 with very brief intermissions between bands. I was so impressed by the Ratdog set it just flew by way to fast.

I was kind of hoping Kimock was going to drop in but once the music started the two guitarists who where playing lead held their own by far. I did see Kimock last Summer with Zero and I was just floored by his abilities on the guitar.
