I may have a couple slots mixed up in the first set. First Can't find my way home? First for me at least

[BillK522]

Late first set Speedway, nice.

Viola closer, now that's money.

 

Praise DSO.

Can't Find My Way Home was a DSO debut.  It was played as a part of the Jeff Mattson & Friends set on 12/31/25 but the first official performance by DSO.

Great show, I’m beat sums it up well. 
First set up front…2nd set in back…encore on steps outside in the breeze with sufficient sound from the open doors.

2 for 2 for Stephen and viola so far…on to Wilkes Barre

Good to see you again. Floor was packed¹. Grabbed my usual spot at the back of the floor in front of the soundboard,  great sound but not a lot of room to groove. Better in the second set. Time to rest up for midweek C-bus show .

It was beautiful coming out of space,  Lisa did it well

Ooohhh …Cant find my way home. Count me in,,look forward to hearing that—as more than once I’ve thought it would be a great tune to incorporate for DSO…

cool!

New Speedway Oakland '91 bust out (first since 1970) closed the first set.  Epic shocker, and quite the placement.

Odd that they don't list Box of rain on the setlist page, they definitely opened with that as a nod to Phil's birthday

The 12-11-94 Days Between at Oakland Coliseum more than atoned for the Cosmic Charlie debacle.  There are few versions of a Dead song that render a best ever debate moot, and I'll argue this was one of them. Given Jerry's condition by the end of '94, we couldn't believe what we were hearing.

 

Sadly this was the post-Healy era, and the sonics of our FOB sweet spot reference tapes had fallen off a cliff. But then some years back, to the rescue, came the generally lame release collecting late era songs. Thank heavens they put that version of Days on it, because now we have a surprisingly impressive mastered SBD. So Many Roads is perhaps the only other cut that redeems said release.  I'm drawing a blank of what that release was called.  

 

Edit: I googled it because it was on the tip of my tongue and bothering me: "Ready Or Not" is the name
