final/last  How Long Blues 70/08/19 (1236)

final/last  Monkey and the Engineer   81/10/16  (495)

 

The final show of the 89 west coast winter shows, and

one of the more unusual setlists.  As far as I know, all

the guests appearances were unannounced, adding to

the freak factor.  Spencer Davis killed the GSL, and the

pre drums with Dylan provided several highlights.  Dylan

doing the Dead after the Dead doing Dylan in 87, The

Bus floated back to SF after this one.

Article on Dark Star in NY Times https://nyti.ms/2NxXaR4?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Good read - thanks for the link.

 

There are 69 comments thus far, 68 of which are quite positive.  Then there's this moron: "The only thing more mind-numbing than listening to the Grateful Dead is listening to someone trying to convince you that they were great. Today I’m embarrassed to be a Times reader."

 

I did get a kick out of this comment, in reaction to the scathing Lou Reed quote in the article: "Lou Reed was a legend in his own mind. When you look at the history of rock-and-roll, is he really much more than maybe a 3-hit wonder?"  Ha!

3-5-81 was at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh.  Check out the jam to open set 2 for something very unique, as it occurs while Jerry’s guitar is being repaired.

 

This is a cool audience recording.  It’s funny to me that I was once a bit of a soundboard snob, but now in my *more experienced* years I get especially excited about a quality, unique audience recording.  

 

Enjoy!

Good call, Bill.  I think Tea might have been there.

 

Here’s set 2 for those who’d like to take it for a spin.

I was indeed - can't believe it was 29 years ago.  Just a magical night for so many reasons - some of which had nothing to really do with the show.

Hey > 12/13/90 was no slouch either!

Electric:  Mason's Children>China>Rider, Black Pete,

Hard to Handle, Cumberland, Casey Jones, Good Love>

Cryptical>Drums>Other One>Cryptical>

Uncle John's Band>Lovelight.

 

acoustic is without Phil.

China>Rider not on Relisten, but in DBX.

 

Phil's tardiness prompts an acoustic set with Jerry and Bob.

Believed to be first acoustic performance in band history.

Jerry to crowd   "When he gets here, we'll be able to play

loud and all that.  So me and Bobby Ace here are gonna

regail ya with some old favorites.

 

The Mason's Children was a monster and Pig killed the GL.

They did the same thing a week later, 12/26/69, in Dallas. My favorite show. Supposedly, the drummer was late, Not on the acoustic set. I read somewhere about the honesty of ‘ someone is late so, let’s play acoustic’. Some say it was a stunt of sorts so that the could dabble in acoustic. I’m glad they did. I love acoustic Grateful Dead, 1970 and 1980. Jerry’s style really comes through on acoustic.  Listen to Jerry’s solo on ‘to lay me down’ off of Reckoning. Such gentle picking.

first We Can Run

first Standing on the Moon

 

The first of 73 shows for the boys in 1989, and the first of

the closing run at HJK.  Opening sequence carried with

fresh energy and voices, showing extra care to each

play.  Quite the contrast between Desolation (11:05) and

Don't Ease (3:34).  Solid second includes rare post drums

He's Gone (10:18) played almost on top of a spirited 

DEW (12:03), Jerrylicious. 

 

Safe travels and enjoy the Show Box  West Coasters.

 

Praise DSO.

Opening chapter of the 1991 book, 77 in all.

Well rested and in familiar surroundings, the 

boys find the form quickly.  Well executed Althea,

MIDI rich Ramble, a spirited New Speedway on

point for the break out, played 30 total times including

this one.  Second set full of chunky goodness,

the Jam into drums interesting, Sugar Mags a certified

set closer.

 

Safe travels and enjoy Tempe West Coasters.

and consider this show the top of the three.

It was 30 years ago today.

I think the Victim jam then into Standing is the best music The Boys played on Spring Tour '90.  And that is no small statement, given all that happened on the tour. Best heard via the 24 track Box Set release.
