85 really was a wacky year for GD setlists. Hell, Gimme Some Lovin' did some openin'!

I’ll stick with the 93 theme but switch coast. 12/8/93: Rain Let the Good Times Roll King Bee

I gotta go with Bill Graham’s introduction into the Help>Slip>Frank from 8/13/75 as my all time favorite specific show opener. Gets me all charged up and it’s a killer version ⚡️⚡️

We had several dance parties at hotels, and the biggest one was 98/12/31. We had three sets that night (on tape), and that set was set two of our NYE celebration. The first set wrapped in a second set, the set closed with China>Rider, a perfection construction to be between a first and second set. Venue was a conference room, we dropped balloons and an absolute mountain of confetti, which I am sure they are still vacuuming up today. Good times. Praise DSO.

Bobby Weir is on line one for you, PG 😂

Had to share my excitement for jubilee’22…missing all you guys terribly and need to start dance away and these workin man blues!!

I had the unfortunate trauma of going to quite a few shows in the late eighties, early nineties with a couple who kept a boat in the marina I used to run. They have been going to shows since ‘72. Anyway, she hated hell in a bucket and would vocalize this at the beginning of every show. If the band opened with it, she would bitch, moan and complain through out. A real Debbie Downer.
