E: Black Muddy River last Race Is On: 86/05/03 [212] The Boys final appearance at the Frost kicks off with this odyssey of a performance, certainly worthy of the venue in which it was delivered. Beyond the near flawless execution of the show, jewels are scattered throughout the set list- TLEO, Kentucky Derby Race Is On, China>Rider to close set one, Samson on a Saturday. The Big Man dipped his toe in the MIDI world during Space and Take You Home, Steve Parrish handing him a generic white guitar for those segments. This concert stands on the top of the mountain for my Grateful Dead shows. I spent the afternoon on the rail, wide open and absorbing every ounce of energy coming off the stage. We stayed at an old one level half moon hotel with the pool in the middle, it was an open door party late into the night. It was 31 years ago today.

Forum MVP John A Posted May 6, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Billk, That Derby Day Frost show featured a whopping 23 songs - 12 in the second set. Fine afternoon to be riding the rail! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted May 6, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 "Was on the outside looking in for that one" that happened to me a lot on that spring 89 tour, got into one omni, outside looking in at Greensboro, and outside for the first show in Pittsburg. First time I toured with a vendor and spent time in the lot during show time. GDP did send me front row center for my home town cincy show, although I spent most of it in the 15th row running fob hornhat into d5, went up front after the final tape flip, needless to say the usher was tired of seeing my ticket by the time I used it.😗 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted June 17, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 During the show, in real time, I'm thinking, "really, We Can Run in the 2nd set?" Today I'm thinking, "what a blessing to have been witness to that about 15th row center." Jerry didn't leave stage during the second set, or at least that's my recollection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always believed out of space the best set list location for a break out, with the locomotive airhorn signalling the Casey. We had a large group on the field and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted June 20, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Didn’t they do the air horns at the beginning of the show? I’m pretty sure that when they blasted the air horns before Casey Jones, that wasn’t the first time that day that they were ‘played’. It wasn’t much the first time, maybe just a test run to make sure they shook the paint loose from the walls at RFK. That was the best! Totally way cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milehighjoel. Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Always loved the Hershey second set music never stopped while we resume our singing in the rain. The transition back into lyrics after the jam is so very slick. The Tom thumb is pretty dang chocolaty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted July 1, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Satisfaction played 31x per deadbase with most being encores. On that note half of the encores were double encores with satisfaction followed by brokedown 8x, baby blue 4x and us blues 1x. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted July 1, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 The last song I saw John K play with DSO was a Satisfaction encore in Dewey Beach, Bottle and Cork. He was doing a bit of a ‘running in place’ kinda dancing, Rocking hard, broken string involved. I always wonder when leaving a Bottle and Cork DSO show, what everyone in town just experienced. With the open roof, there’s no escaping the show anywhere in town. Hey everyone, you just had it done to you by the Dark Star Orchestra. I need a show !

How Do You Do? Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 7/2/86 Akron Rubber Bowl - Dylan with Tom Petty and Dylan with the boys for a few songs. I remember "Don't Think Twice It's All Right" in the first set and "Desolation Row" in the second - both firsts for me. I remember thinking "Boy I sure wish Jerry would have done the vocals".

Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted July 2, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 DSO played Satisfaction on 4/5/14 at the El Rey. It was changed in for Sugar Magnolia. Some guy was up front throwing ice chips at the band first set and got thrown out. Epic Viola Lee Blues! A friend was there on conference and we took my childhood bestie who was practicing plastic surgery at UCLA to her first show. She wore a Metallica black dress with a super low mesh V front and back. Lol. The only time I’ve seen band members before the show out front. Jeff stopped by and told us we were in for a grate show. And it was thanks for spurring the memories . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
