Bobby Weir Fans !! ... Deadheads ! - and Fans of ' The-Dog ' !!! Now, let me tell you here - as this sweet little rarity here is indeed one that you cannot let escape you for any longer ! Because people ... This ! is some Hot ! Dog !!! Whoa !?!! And, fortunately for me ... I was inside the House for Both ! of these 4/25 & 4/26 Portland, Oregon Shows - at the Roseland !!! Yeah ... the Rose City ! And, I'm also happy to say that I haven't missed a single Bobby Weir Show in Oregon - since the Grateful Dead stopped playing in 1995. In fact, the last one I did-miss ... was the Weir & Wasserman Show at the La Luna ! -- in like 1991 ! And ... come to think of it too, I don't think I've missed Weir in the entire state of Washington either, dating back to the Good Ol' G.D. Daze. So - Yeah !! This guy has had the Pacific Northwest Covered ! ... when it comes to Bobby Ace !! And so ... my point being ? These 2001 Shows were Strong !!!!! They were the ' Tour-Closers ' in fact, and you could just feel it in the sticky ( & smokey ! ) Roseland Theater Air ! that Bob & Co. had it goin' on. And too, just take a sec to put the ' timing ' in perspective ( 2001 ! ) - and you too can relate to just how Grate! it felt to hear, say ... Mission In The Rain ! And, yeah too ... you bet it was Raining Outside !! OryGun, and all ... Ha ! But, you know - as this was still " That-Period " only 6-years after the Band stopped playing, and it was a way-interesting time, not only in seeing how all of the various G.D. members projects would evolve, but also ... how the Material & the Songs ! would evolve too ?! And Weir ?! Wow ... as he was just hitting the Nail right ! on the Head !! I mean this really-was a ' Peak ' Era for this Ratdog unit, if you had to specifically pick-one. And, as we all know ... it was the tail-end too of Wasserman in the band, which you know -- how can that loss not really hurt & all - ( R.I.P. - RW ! ). But, the creativity ! in the deliveries of these Songs at these Shows ? ... Wow. as it was just impressive !! And, Weir was seriously getting after it too - which, really pushed not only the Band ... but, the limits of the Crowd too ! And, trust me ... way back in 2001 ? This City was just Filled !! with Deadheads - big time. So, for the West Coast at least -- there really could be no better place for Bob & Co. to close up this 2001 Spring Tour. And .. .. .. They Delivered BIG !!! Heck, they even did a ' Group ' Appearance & Signing at Music Millennium over on SE Burnside Street - and ... they probably got talked into that somehow, and had no-idea what was coming !! Ha ! I was there ... and it was a Total! Mob-Scene !!! Like every single Deadhead in Multnomah County & way-way beyond had like there Entire ! Vinyl Collection in their hands - for Weir to Sign !!! Dang, as it was pretty-funny, thinking back & all. He was a true-sport about it, but it was just a nuts ! scene, that of course ... had like no organization or control. He looked pretty taxed after that action, but you know ... it's Bob - being just a Cool ! as he can be, to make a Fans day. And, I remember thinking - dang, and they've got to play tonight ?!? And, my goodness - did they even surprise me ?!? I couldn't have even asked! for more at the 4/25 Show... and then on 4/26 ?!! -- they just Crushed !!! it. And, I'm talking huge-stuff. This was maybe even beyond the 1996 Eugene stuff that I always really personally treasured - say at Veneta, and at the Hilton Ballroom too ! So ... this here was a Brilliant ! decision to release action from this P-Town run. And, the selections are way-impressive too - seeing as how Weir and the powers that be decided to pro-release a 2-CD Set. Man oh man ... as it must have been Tough ! taking these 2-Shows to the chopping block, and deciding what to edit. But, they did a really stellar job, for certain. And ... seal of Dead ( Dog ! ) Fan Approval ! I say. Plus, how many Ratdog pro-releases were there ever made ? And ... released on the Grateful Dead Productions ( GDCD ) label ??! With Gary Houston ( Portlander ! ) Cover Art !! So-nice ... Point being all across the board ? Yep ... this one is a Tried & True Live-Music !! Treasure !!! Enjoy !!!!!
