2012 is the Year of the Dragon, according to the Chinese calendar, so Furthur marked the occasion appropriately on Saturday night at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

Joe your crazy. It’s the year of the dragon, plus It keeps in the spirit of seeing a new years show with the grateful dead put on by bill graham. It’s better than watching a ball drop and still better than a Phish show.

I was there and loved it. The dragon was beautiful, but why not have the band on stage for the countdown. I didn’t even see the flower girls ‘til the video. Music was gorgeous. But why the Rolling Stones for just before midnight?

Dragon looked excellent from the floor – not hokey, you could tell how carefully & artistically it was constructed, and the Dragon sound effects were terrific – some of the roars gave me chills. Really appreciated its presence in the whole 3rd set, periodic smoke, steam, and roars kept us reminded that the new year is HERE!
