Branford Marsalis was such an amazing sit in addition to the Dead, some of my favorite.

Hampton 89 was definitely the best I saw (I put New Year's shows in their own category) but I don't think for a minute that was the boys at their best. 77-78 or 70-72, IMO.
I came across an interview of Bob Dylan when he was asked about playing with the boys and this quote stood out -
Dylan certainly had a unique view of Deadheads from the stage, and he takes some time in his book to analyse the differences in crowds between them and a band like The Rolling Stones. “There is a big difference in the types of women that you see from the stage when you are with the Stones compared to the Dead,” Dylan says. “With the Stones, it’s like being at a porno convention. With the Dead, it’s more like the women you see by the river in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? Free-floating, snaky and slithering like in a typical daydream. Thousands of them.”
Full Branford show… 12/10/93
33 years ago tonight, I was in attendance for this one… It was good to be a young ski bum with Winter coming on in Colorado.

I saw several of this MSG run but didn’t get tix to the benefit closer with many special guests (check out the second set).

Ski related! Laughed when this showed up in my feed. Any of you peeps that have XM radio and listen to the dead channel, you know of TIGDH that is hosted by David Lemieux. I know he's canuck and it looks like Mt. Begbie in the background which means Revelstoke. No ski action other than him skating away.
anyone going in for the sphere? 18 dates Thur-Sat weekends may - june.

Jerry’s prom date looks like a goer! Great shots.
And, yeah, there is a lot of 1974 on SiriusXM right now, and I’m okay with that.
One of these guys was said to be god.

Very StarWars-ish!
Kinda like mixing the NFL with Taylor Swift!

A friend of mine posted (3 days ago, I guess) 3/16/73, Nassau Coliseum. tasty show.
I find myself revisiting Spring ‘90 a lot around this time of year.
Yup. I've been rocking that 89/90 sound. I fuckin love Brent. Particularly, the Hampton run.Quote:

Is it just me or? I’m not a big fan of spring ‘90, it’s too polished for my ears.
Sorry, it's just you.Quote:

Right there with you. Spring ‘90 shows are sporadic listening for me. I saw a bunch of that run and don’t typically listen to many of the shows I was at but still recognize it was excellent and love spinning here and there. But yeah, almost too polished to listen to all the time. If memory serves me right it didn’t feel that polished at the time. Just real good shows.Quote:

I love how Garcia is so commanding. Phil’s playing is amazing. But yeah I loved attending fall 89 and spring 90 and am biased (I’m a big early 80s fan too… check out November Florida, Atlanta and 12-12/13 1980–I’ve been listening to every show in a row for a while now…. I did 85-90, now doing 78-84)
I think of ‘72 and ‘77 as tight but electric and exciting as hell, spring ‘90 lacks the electricity, it’s kinda boring actually.
^ agree on 72 & 77, 90 is a different but still great energy that is harder to define. They are riding the peak of the wave of their popularity from In the Dark, Jerry is probably as healthy and on his game as he'd been since 77, Brent is a driving force both creatively and on stage (Blow Away) and Phil's playing and sound is on point every night regardless of whether the band was there with him.
The Cap Centre shows with the bust outs nightly, Nassau with Brantford obviously, RFK, Deer Creek and Sandstone are all great energy shows where you can hear and see the band was enjoying the hell out of playing together. Add in the buzz created by Dark Star being back in the rotation and there was, at least for me and most who I toured with, the feeling that any night could be a "can't miss show." Not saying they all were because they weren't but there are more on nights in 90 than off imo and I'd say the most consistent night to night in the 10yrs (85-95) I saw the band. A sleeper show (10/20) from 90 post Brent.

I am the outlier here I know, but there are some very good moments from the Europe tour that carried over into some phenomenal 91 shows. Bruce brought a new and different energy to the band that certainly sparked and challenged Jerry (and Phil) in ways nobody else in the band could.
