DSO Notes A Rex Foundation benefit with Wavy Gravy as emcee *with Bob Weir Bob also sang the second verse of Tennessee Jed **with Rob Eaton and Bob Weir

LA>SLO. Not much travel for five shows. Just saying. Praise DSO.

A big year, my first year that I was in the lot during shows (spring tour) did every stop except Ann Arbor. San Rafael must have known it was bad for me because they sent me front row center for my hometown show, first deeercreeek, CSN opened in Pittsburgh, a solstice pay per view, warlocks , and then Brent's last new years (back to a 4 night run) kudos to you for having the fortitude to make it all the way to Miami, l was saving for NYE series, but sent my equipment with a friend who captured Charlotte. Thanks for the mention and thanks for the encouragement to investigate

That Dark Star is not only wonderful but I think it's particularly unique (yeah, all Dark Star's are unique but I stand by that statement). Jerry's voice is a bit fried, but no matter. Anyone unfamiliar should cue it up ASAP!

26/10/26 Miami Arena, Miami, FL Set 1: Foolish Heart; Little Red Rooster; Stagger Lee; Me And My Uncle → Big River; Brown Eyed Women; Victim Or The Crime → Don't Ease Me In Set 2: Estimated Prophet → Blow Away; Dark Star → drums → space → The Wheel → All Along The Watchtower → Stella Blue → Not Fade Away Encore: And We Bid You Goodnight The bus tangled with a semi on I-95 just north of Jacksonville, leaving us with no side window and a rear panel smashed in to the point that the spare tire would not fit in the rear wheelwell. After a few hours of glass removal and banging on metal, a visit to a hardware store for a piece a plexiglass, we limped into Miami. This show made all the tribulations worth it. The Dark Star just killed. Consumed the show from the eighth row on the aisle Jerry's side, he saw a lot of me that year. It was 37 years ago today. Praise DSO.

The 45 minute stretch from the opening notes of the Star until the conclusion of the Death Don't the most mind blowing sequence I ever experienced at a Grateful Dead concert. Praise DSO.

Go west young man! Dig the triple double header…now we’re talkin! Solid looking tour 🤠

Saw Rush Friday night in Cincy. Great Show, Annika killing it on drums. Set 1 Xanadu Dreamline Subdivisions The pass Headlong Flight bravado La Villa Strangiato The Trees Passage to Bangkok Spirit of Radio Set 2 2112 entire Closer to the Heart Time Stand Still Red Barchetta YYZ Limelight Camera Eye Witch hunt Vital Signs Tom Sawyer E. By-Tor & the Snow Dog Working man

small item is that the CSN opening in Pittsburgh was 1990 Love Jerome’s tone for that inaugural Deer Creek show. It’s largely forgotten thanks to the Alpine run that followed, but to me it was a precursor and made that a helluva 4-show excursion 😎 1989 is so so good

Seems 1989 gets a little lost in the mix on the appreciation scale. My biggest year with the band, so maybe the view is a little skewed. Early part of the year full of quality non MIDI Jerry shows and Hampton began amazing late run that ended with Brent. The cherry on top the JGB Fall Tour if you want to add that. Praise DSO.

Oh yes! The countdown is certainly on. So, I have an hour drive to work every day, therefore it's 2 hours of Live GD each day during the work week. I must say that when each song spins, I envision myself barefoot on the beach dancing with a Mai Tai in hand witnessing DSO crank it out. Every one that comes on. It's a beautiful thing and makes the damn drive WAY better! 👍 So it's 83 days from today when...... I'LL GET UP AND FLY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☺️ Mark

Have been paying attention to these lists with the looming Reckoning recreation at the Anthem. It will be a full night of music in DC. Can I interest you in LIG>Wheel> Music close to the first? It was 46 years ago today. Praise DSO.

You're a stud, Bill. I flew out for the Del Mar and Wiltern shows in 2024. I'm guessing 5 shows for you this time. Awesome! And quite impressive after your lengthy northeast run. I like your style! Jamaica for me in Jan. so I can't make these..................but you never know! 😉 Mark

Giddy Up!!

Jerry's second show back was at The Stone on a Sunday night: Think Heaven's Door They Love Run Released Gomorrah> Deal Harder Melody How Sweet Lucky Old Reuben> Midnight Moonlight

Daytripper on the hill

Hmmm....retiring at the of the year...hmmm....wonder what amtrak has along this line? Killer starting in Denver and closing in Oakland ~ that's some incredible planning...be nice to have the time to do a full tour, back to the basics Tickets, time and distance

Riverbend show officially released in the 30 Trips Around the Sun box set. The miss for me is Blossom, which I hope is being held back for later release. Praise DSO.

Summer Magic update: The Saratoga double encore is all that. JGB gets nice and soft toward its conclusion with Brent adding beautiful low level vocal parts. Then Jerry announces he's very much not done yet, launching forcefully into Baby Blue. He confuses himself a few times on the lyrics, but it's powerful throughout, and when he nails vocals he totally means it! There are 3 double encores in this 7 show release. The Boys were having much fun.

I'm through the Greek run and into Saratoga. They really got the impact and bloom on Phil's bass dialed on the remastering. But with the cassette boards Healy was running in that era you can only do so much. '85 is such a unique beast. Surprises around every turn. The return of Stagger Lee. Dupree's. Comes A Time. China Doll, coming off a heavy 1984, in relatively heavy rotation. The introduction of the monstrous She Belongs To Me. Double encores. Songs showing up all over the shows in surprise slots. Jerry's voice mostly back from the '84 period. The huge bust out of Cryptical, although that ranged from tepid to outright weak. I can see why they dropped it. That said, Bill's "uneven" descriptor couldn't be more spot on. It's quite evident even in the highly respected Greek run. I will say that 6/15 set two is an absolute work of art. Looking forward to revisiting the Merriweather shows.

Dave's Pick 59. Praise DSO.

Fall 1991 was no joke and this was one of my absolute favorites from the tour. Great energy and a certain brightness to it that told me the band was going for it https://www.herbibot.com/radio/?show=1991/9/26

93/09/13 The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA Set 1: Hell In A Bucket ; Jack-a-Roe ; The Same Thing ; Stagger Lee ; Black Throated Wind ; Dire Wolf ; Let It Grow Set 2: Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain > Playing In The Band > Dark Star > Terrapin Station > drums > space > jam > Easy Answers > Days Between > Good Lovin' Encore: I Fought The Law One of the better later shows I attended. Thoughtful first set Jerry selections. Pre drums a Big Man showcase, despite a brief (5:33) Star. Tubular Bells hints during space. Strong Days with superb outro jam. Spent the show third row Jerry side, complete immersion. It was 33 years ago today. Praise DSO.
