Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted March 18 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 18 Many times as show opener also, if my fried brain serves me correctly. Dark Star had a few Bertha>Good Lovin’ combinations in their set lists a little while back which triggered some investigation on my part. Bertha rocks, one of my favorites, going back to my beginnings. Always loved watching the crowd bounce to that one. ….and Good Lovin’, come on, that’s Bobby channeling PigPen. Even a blind man knows when the sun is shining, cuz he can FEEL it…..!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Forgive the shameless plug, but there's no need to be counting in this day and age. Just go to https://www.gratefulsets.net and do a search like so: 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP John A Posted March 18 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 18 Heed that link above - count2's database is powerful and bad ass! I was surprised to see that there was a set 2 Bertha -> Good Lovin' in '93... and there was a show opener of it in '89. The penultimate set 2 sequence, 11-2-84, is post space and features the greatest Bertha ever, IMHO. Absolutely love that BCT show.. 3 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP John A Posted March 19 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19 Further research courtesy of count2: On 9-1-79 Bertha -> Good Lovin' closed a 2nd set, whereupon the next 13 iterations proceeded to also close the last set. Culminating with the final closer on that 11-2-84 BCT show. It there would only be one more in set 2, that '93 Meadowlands show. Fascinating, for geeks at least. Also, there were 27 Need a Miracle -> Bertha -> Good Lovin', beginning shortly after 3 passes of a Miracle set 1 closer followed by a Bertha -> Good Lovin' set 2 opener. Took a few tries for them get it just exactly perfect. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment
Forum MVP Rude Posted March 19 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19 Deadbase was 10 feet away. Too much work. I guess I recall set one openers of it and not set 2 ones. Quote Link to comment
