The Dead Show of the Month Podcast resurrected this one for me. Most of the post Brent era stuff I listen to is a couple tunes here and there or a set of a show I was at, more for the nostalgic feeling. Start to finish is strong and the everyone but Bob was on that afternoon. Of course there are ups and downs and some goofs but all in all its damn fine music. If you're a Days in Between fan, this one is fantastic. They coulda picked a better encore but for the time..... This is a Jerry show, which is rare for here on out.
Maybe I'm off center on my opinion, (or recall having a blast), but for '93 it's awesome. As far as all the years combined, it's good.
There are other options out there for mixes. Find the one your dig.

Not bad! Been listening to Spring 1990 mostly of late, but Jerry is really putting in a good effort at this show.
But Vince just sucks. (RIP).
Yeah. Good musician but didn't really fit. Nice to find quality stuff towards the end...Vince or no Vince.
A few days ago, my local radio station was playing part of 5/28/77 (hot show!) and i realized that i sing all parts of terrapin (both the call and the response). does anybody else have that "problem"?
In case you missed the story about zakir: http://www.npr.org/2015/01/08/375637...-grateful-dead
He got the nod solely on his voice is the story I heard after rehearsals, from someone who has a 1000x more inside knowledge than I could ever hope to have. There were many better "players" who were brought in before Vince (T. Lavitz among others) that had a much better knowledge of the music/songs but lacked vocals...Vince had less chops and wasn't an organ player but the high harmony (non Weir falsetto) was more important in the grand scheme of things for the band and thus, he got the bench. Hornsby was the immediate first choice replacement (and a damn good one at that) but apparently he was never willing to commit for the long term and Vince fit all the needs better than anyone else.Quote:

Accordian aside, I think he energized Jerry and challenged him in ways nobody else in the band could sans Brent, for at least 90-91 and at times into 92. Listen to some of the pre space and other stand alone jams, especially on the Euro tour, a whole new dynamic was added with Bruce on stage, no way that happened with just Vince. No argument that the band started a slow creative spiral after Brent's passing (Phil has said as much himself) but I think Bruce slowed that spiral dramatically for a year or two.
NIce one Schwerty< way to move the dial, the Jack Straw opener sets the tone!
30 yrs of listening to the Dead and I just heard Two Souls in Communion for the first time. 3/23/1972 - Academy of Music, NYC
Some of the frail Jerry Peggy O's are pretty powerful

That's a staple Peggy-O. The heat that day is something I will never forget.

Bird Song is great.
Thx for posting this one!
BFs comments got me thinkin of some I was at that I haven't been back to in a while.
This one in particular came to mind. [url]https://archive.org/details/gd87-06-30.schoeps.ladner.8577.sbeok.shnf[/
Yes, it was hot. With the wind, felt just like standing in front of a hair dryer.Quote:

How do you know this? Just general knowledge of his drug use or specific things you hear in his playing? I always thought it would be really illuminating to have a list of the drugs consumed for each show, like what were they on for the Alligator thru Caution on 2/14/70 or the jam coming out of Drums on 4/29/71 or even 5/11/77 (my first show).Quote:

There is a very distinct change to his playing in the early 80's up until the coma. Those close to the band, (one guy who I am close to), during that time have reflected on the use of certain drugs, (outside of psychedelics and weed), making a big impact on Garcia's playing.Quote:

Some Dead aficionados attribute this style of play to his altered state, whether it was during a show or not.
To answer your Q...I don't know and shouldn't speculate. Generally I try and focus on the positive stuff but sometime when this time period comes up, I slip up. The whole band gets talked about in the context of drug use too much anyway.
Good show regardless.
Yea, Jer did a lot of Persian from 80-85
NICE!!Quote:

45th anniversary of some fillmore east madness. my listening on my morning train ride. currently, listening to bobby directing things on dark star, https://archive.org/details/gd70-02-...0.sbefail.shnf
the vid synchs with the music at ~25 minutes
They started with the 'persian' in 78' or so, and it got progressively worse until Jerry just starting booting it...Quote:

Thx Rideit.
Anyone else find the new archive.org a little annoying and difficult? Maybe I'm just resisting change but it's irritating me.
good stuff!Quote:
