Forum MVP John A Posted December 1, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Interesting. The Dead played Reno in '74 and '82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lisacat Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Interesting. The Dead played Reno in '74 and '82. I'd say these are possibly the reasons those shows weren't chosen- 74- last time band played this venue, they did 74 show. Also that particular show was 3 sets. 82- small stage, no room for big drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other show was at Kings Beach-again a two drummer show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stromatolite Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 "The other show was at Kings Beach-again a two drummer show." Ah, the logistics the band has to work with! My money was on the glorious 1982 Alpine show. The mountain pass was totally blocked by bikers and traffic was at a standstill. One of my favorite "Loser" of all time. My tape is finally worn out. But...how was the show?? Any reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted December 2, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ah, the logistics the band has to work with! My money was on the glorious 1982 Alpine show. The mountain pass was totally blocked by bikers and traffic was at a standstill. One of my favorite "Loser" of all time. My tape is finally worn out. There were two of them. The night before your glorious Alpine show was an official relase, if you can believe it (Alpine 8/7/82). It was the more famous of the two pack cause of the China>Rider and the Dew but I'll take the Fire on the Mountain the night after no question. I think that is my favorite version of that song from that decade...which is saying quite an awful lot. And the Loser ain't bad either...as you say. Miss seeing them at that place.

neutrino Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Boreal Ridge '85 would have been an interesting pick. Biggest fiasco I ever experienced with the Dead. My memories are mostly traffic jams, blowing dust, and Weir frequently kicking his amp. Oh well--Reno was fun later on in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinMan Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 actually both first sets of 8/7 and 8/8/82 are monsters beyond just the Loser -- truly some of my favorite first sets this side of '78, the Rooster and Samson smoke hard and the Sat Night - oh boy!

And this is from a guy who loves talking shit about the Music>Sugaree>Music opener! Who is in that pic Paul? Looks kind of like Kristen Stewart, who was in the movie Adventureland (I really liked both her and the movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memories are mostly traffic jams, blowing dust, and Weir frequently kicking his amp. Oh well--Reno was fun later on in the evening. Not one of the good nights for the good ol' GD. Was funny when Weir screamed "Wait a minute" to begin a Lovelight rap towards the end of the song and the whole band purposefully and eagerly ignored him and quickly ended the set. A fairly disastrous music display by our heroes. I've heard people make the argument that the Day Tripper encore was played SO badly, it was no wonder why they never tried to play it again. Nice pics Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutrino Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks for posting the pics of Boreal! It looks just as, er..... "interesting" as I remember it. We were up the ski hill a ways, not down close to the stage as you clearly were. The sound was as bad as I can recall any show I had ever attended. Was definitely one of those Dreadful Grate shows. On the other hand, it was certainly memorable in its own unique way. The biggest bummer was that I had brought along a friend after finally convincing her that she really needed to give these guys a chance. She was underwhelmed with the Grateful Dead, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted December 2, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Based on that last photo, it looks as if the stage was at the top of the hill and the crowd sloped downward from there. Is that possible? Or is it just hard to get one's bearings based on the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stage was at the bottom in front of the lodge or some building as I remember ... it's probably the way I was holding the camera ... that's the sound stage in that pic with the ski lifts running along the right side up the hill ...

Glad you guys like the pics ... yes , not one of the better outdoor shows , a little windy and dusty for periods of time there during the show and lots of Bobby equipment issues , but still a blast to be on the road and see them up on the Ridge ...
