    Look Like Rain, Ramble On Rose, Box of Rain, BIODTL, TLEO, El Paso,

    Row Jimmy, Mexicali Blues, Bird Song, Playin' in the Band.

    "A Swell Dance Concert"  billing: Grateful Dead;  Sons of Champlin.

     

    An early Feelin' Groovy embedded in the China>Rider

    Bird Song, Playin' in the Band a fine close to the first.

    Closing four all you could ask for, the Star clocking in 

    at 27:14.  Several Archive reviews mention the heavy

    handed security at the show, Nassau delivering on its

    rep even in 1973.

    The sandwich show of the jaw dropping three night

    run at the Capital Centre to kick off the Spring 90

    tour.  The background music of many a bike ride.

    Yardstick version of Althea.  The Terrapin>Jam into

    drums a MIDI laced delight.

    94/03/06  Desert Sky Pavilion,  Phoenix, AZ

     

    Set One

    Help on the Way>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower,

    Spoonful>Jack-A-Roe, Masterpiece, Brown-Eyed

    Women, Let It Grow.

     

    Set Two

    Easy Answers>Lazy River Road, Playin' In the Band>

    Eyes of the World>Drums>Space>The Wheel>

    Last Time>Attics of My Life>Good Lovin'.

     

    E:  Liberty.

     

    After being a mainly 2nd set song, 10 of last 11

    Spoonfuls were of first set variety. Opening duo

    of the second not exactly a China>Rider or

    Scarlet>Fire.  A 4/4 second set probably a rarity

    for the era. Enjoy the warmth East Coasters.

    Sadly, there's little positive one can say about that poor '92 Spring tour. Even the show in Landover with a Dark Star, a Dew, and the first Satisfaction since '86 never really achieved lift off.  In the immortal words of Bruce Hornsby, "I got tired of getting up onstage and sucking every night." :(

     

    Can't argue with you on that one.  Venue buoyed marginal shows in Hampton, although

    the lists looked fine on paper for 92.  During the opening notes of Satisfaction at the Cap

    Centre I remember thinking how incredibly appropriate that selection was after the

    performance that evening, 14 songs?, Ugh.

    92/03/05  Hampton Coliseum,  Hampton, VA

     

    Set One

    Help on the Way>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower>Same Thing,

    Jack-A-Roe, Tom Thumb Blues, Let It Grow.

     

    Set Two

    Eyes of the World, Way To Go Home, Estimated Prophet>

    He's Gone>Drums>Space>The Wheel>I Need A Miracle>

    So Many Roads>Good Lovin'.

     

    E;  US Blues

     

    The final run for the boys at the spaceship kicks off with

    this solid list for 92.  Same Thing #3 after the reboot,

    So Many Roads #4 total.  On a personal note, I commuted

    the 3.5 hour one way trip for the two shows and worked both days.

    Love of Jerry and youth, along with some chemical assistance,

    an unstoppable mix.

    Jack Straw, Sugaree, Cumberland Blues, Ramble On Rose,

    All Over Now, Box Of Rain, Candyman, Cassidy,

    West LA Fadeaway, Big Railroad Blues.

     

    Crazy Fingers>Uncle John's Band, Foolish Heart,

    Great to see old friends and dance the winter blues

    away.  Random friends were having dinner nearby

    and heard the music.  Cumberland inspired, All Over

    Now a hoedown and the Big Railroad stomped.

    Crazy Fingers well executed,  Foolish the highlight

    of the evening as the second set cut down on hard 

    11:00 curfew.  Big fun.  Heard Dancing Days from 

    Zep on the drive home and was having a ball.  Stay

    safe West Coasters.

  25. DSO Playlist

    Chasing songs I had not seen motivated heading

    to the next Dead show.  Being a Touchhead, plenty

    of the boys songs were inaccessible, until  a band

    named Dark Star Orchestra came into my live.  I

    spent years with the Dead longing for the songs

    I slowly realized I was not going to get.  Recently,

    I wondered how many songs in the Dead library

    were DSO able to add to the frequency chart. 

    Broke out the Dead Base the other day, an amazing

    46 songs.  Songs ranged from 'common' St. Stephen

    to 'hardly touched' Golden Road.  Atlanta gave me

    Big Boy Pete and Frederick 2019 yielded Day Tripper,

    both a complete joy to hear, among the 46.  The first

    Viola at the Ledges was a revelation.  Which songs

    were you thrilled to hear DSO perform, that the 

    Dead did not provide. Feel free to share.

     

    Praise DSO.
