And it begins.. The launch of the Darkened Flags tour! I hope everyone has a blast and makes at least a few questionable decisions along the way

Really Keith? You're passed out w that enormous pile of blow on your lap?!

np: Let it Bleed

Due to pure laziness I never listened to the leaked version so today's NPR stream is my first full listen of the album. I'm at work so can't really give it the proper treatment but as of now Once They Banned Imagine is my favorite track. It's melancholy Cooley at his finest and I love the more promi...

"Never remember"

Ken Hayes and the Terrapin Tape folks are the same people that put on the big Gathering of the Vibes festival for many years.

Garcia- has there ever been another rock star that would go on stage wearing sweat pants? I swear on 3/19/95 Philly he came out wearing hotel slippers.

Some great stuff on here

I ran into Cooley pretty banged up (me, not him) before a show at the Boulder Theater a few years ago and told him he was the second coolest guy in rock after Keith Richards. Then I mumbled something about how I always have a DBT koozie on my person.. Anyway, that meme is a much better summation of ...

ha! that's amazing

<drunken fan at DBT show> COOOLLEEYYY!!!!! <end scream>

Happy birthday to the 2nd coolest guy in all of rock.

Tickets purchased. This is going to be an all around killer evening! Does Cooley play ping pong? Seeing as this is a pretty intimate event, I'm hoping to play Cooley in a game of ping pong.

Oh boy, here we go! Count Gaetzi and a few of the boys in. Its helpful (for those w wives/girlfriends) that President's Day is a week after Valentine's day this year.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up on this.. IN. This is interesting, I was actually hanging out w Hosea (the Blackbelly chef hosting this event) at Red Rocks a few weeks ago. It was his crew that got us the VIP wristbands. This sounds like it'll be a great night of food, drink and music from Cooley/Ho...

This is the hot Friday morning jam.. soon to be the hot late night, post Phish jam sesh.

This thread is like a bizarre variation on Fight Club. We don't talk about the leak because there isn't a leaked version of the album out there. But if there was such a thing, it would get shared it off the board so everyone can discuss it on the board. Not knocking anyone asking, I did the same thi...

I can wait until 9/30 to hear the album but live at red Rocks, Kinky Hypocrite was the new tune that really popped in a "hell yeah, this is what I love about the Truckers" kind of way. Not to knock any of the other songs but they're songs where you need to focus on the lyrics. This one just rocks. O...

Are there any live versions out there on the internets?

Some random thoughts from Red Rocks- Weather was perfect. Saturday was the nicest day we've had all summer and Sat night was crisp and cool without a cloud in the sky. Felt like the first hints of fall were on the way. A good buddy of mine is friends w a guy who helps promote Panic Red Rocks so we g...

Cooley interview from Aspen Times- It's killing me I won't be there tonight but we'll see you all tomorrow at Red Rocks!

From a few posts up:

From my understanding gates are at 530, show at 630. Schedule is PHJB, DBT, YMSB. I'd guess 90min sets for each, so roughly:

630 - PHJB
800 - DBT
930 - YMSB

Sometimes you just need some Lionel Richie in your life

Does anyone have any suggestions for places to crash in Aspen and Morrison after the shows? I can't guarantee I'll be in a position to safely drive, so walking distance or a short Uber/Cab ride would be preferred. The Belly Up is right downtown in Aspen.. I'd do a quick Hotels.com and or VRBO searc...

Bummed to report I'm going to bail on the Belly Up. First world problems but I just got back from Europe and the thought of rushing out of work Friday for a 3.5 hr drive, not to mention another Saturday morning where my 2 yr old son wakes up without Dad there is just all around too much. But psyched...

Not new but this is so good

I've heard of brown acid but I've never seen brown pills.

Best of luck to Matt! Not the point of Cooley's note but it was nice to read this: "As most of you know, we are about to release a new record and tour more ambitiously than we have in a long time"

Did she used to be a lot skinnier?

Someone synched up a Phish tune from earlier in the week to people dancing at the RNC from last night. Maybe I've just had a really long week but this had me in tears
