Another weekend in Frederick, MD would be fine with me. Praise DSO.

A little late for the 12/12 anniversary but this was right near the top as the best GD show I ever saw. Ruby put me 3rd row - right in front of Jerry. Never had better seats (that were assigned to me anyway): https://archive.org/details/gd1990-12-12.sbd.miller.109289.flac16 Set 1 Touch Of Gray-> Greatest Story Ever Told, Candyman, Walkin' Blues, Loose Lucy, Mexicali Blues-> Maggie's Farm, Queen Jane Approximately, Deal Set 2 China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Looks Like Rain, Iko Iko, Dark Star-> Terrapin Station-> Drums-> Jam-> All Along The Watchtower-> Stella Blue-> Throwing Stones-> Not Fade Away, E: The Weight

That would be just exactly perfect.

Well Shit - Better put the others up: 1990/12/13 - McNichols Arena, Denver, CO https://archive.org/details/gd1990-12-13.sbd.miller.108981.flac16 Set 1 Jack Straw-> Sugaree, Wang Dang Doodle, Friend Of The Devil, Me & My Uncle-> Big River, Ramble On Rose, Memphis Blues, Valley Road Set 2 Help On The Way-> Slipknot!-> Franklin's Tower, Saint Of Circumstance, Eyes Of The World-> Drums-> Jam-> The Other One-> Morning Dew-> Box Of Rain, E: U.S. Blues The playing on Ramble On Rose is a pretty good barometer for how Jerry was feeling. An absolute stunner with the St of Circumstance followed by a Turbo-Eyes. Morning Dew had great potential but Jerry somehow skipped the end - I guess it doesn't matter They made up for it by launching into Box to close the set. 1990/12/14 - McNichols Arena, Denver, CO https://archive.org/details/gd1990-12-14.sbd.miller.89127.sbeok.flac16 Set 1: Shakedown Street, Picasso Moon, Peggy-O, Little Red Rooster, Stagger Lee, When I Paint My Masterpiece, To Lay Me Down, Let It Grow Set 2: Victim Or The Crime -> Foolish Heart -> Man Smart, Woman Smarter -> He's Gone -> Drums -> Space -> Dark Star (v2) -> I Need A Miracle -> Wharf Rat -> Turn On Your Lovelight Encore: Knockin' On Heaven's Door As great as 12/12 + 12/13 were, I think 12/14 is right there even though the setlist wasn't as thrilling for some. You want the goods? Give that To Lay Me Down a spin. I think it's a hair better than MSG 9/18/90. Serious Phil Bombs during LIG with an earth rattler at the end. Here's more goods: The solo in Foolish Heart is just perfect, The Woman R Smarter is usually not my cup of tea but this one is amazing! Just listen to it. AND Finally: More Goods? Check out Jerry's solo during Knockin - it's like no other Knockin I've ever heard. Do yourselves a favor and put this one on - it has Tea's seal of approval 😁
