Guest crazy digits Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Any Red Rocks is a treat especially those wild 78 shows! Now how about getting back to the heart of the matter with a blazing 1985 Chula Vista! I did that whole tour and that Chula Vista show was a melt down in more than one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ammagamalin Crew Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I did that whole tour and that Chula Vista show was a melt down in more than one way 1985 was a dangerous time to see the dead, it kind of meant giving over any free time you previously had to seeing them whenever possible, there were so many hooks that year. By 1986 I was doing every show up until that freaking DC parking lot on 7/7/86 when the cops (with their mushroom windowed van full of narcs) were arresting everyone. Then the big cancelation of Ventura, ugh! and then the fall of praying for Jerry to pull through. Then back to the Stone for his return shows!

scarletfire Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I was on the bus in 85-86 as well. Tampa, Atlanta (Fox of course-one of the best venues ever), Columbia and of course Richmond were some of the best run of shows I saw. A cousin of mine worked for the Fox (I lived in Atl at the time) and she got my buddy and I backstage passes. I did not see any band members but did have some food and a beer with some of the wives, girlfriends, roadies, etc. I am not sure what I would have said if I would have seen Jerry-probably would have been tongue tied for sure. What a run that was. From the 86 summer tour I will never forget the Buffalo show-during Cold Rain a cool breeze just started blowing in and cooled us off-it was so damn hot on that summer tour but not at Rich Stadium at that particular moment. It was great. DC was just nasty weather wise-despite Jerry obviously not doing so well I seem to recall those shows being pretty damn good. Slept for days after that summer tour-totally worth it.

Guest prideofcucamunga Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 FYI: thin-skinned might not wanna read this... Hearing that Eyes of the World takes me back to seeing DSO in Redwood City around the year 2000. I can remember emailing back and forth to Scott Larned regarding Kadlecik and how the guy should be taking lessons from Jeff Mattsen, because of Kadlecik's un-economical left hand chord formations, and his attempt to sing like Garcia's crackly voice rather than his own. Its such a pleasure to see Mattsen up there with Barraco (both from the Volunteers in Long Island, NY in the 1980's), the guy has got so much more fire and precise control over the energy building solos, and i love hearing him sing in his own natural voice. Just watch Eaton groove on Mattsen's playing in complete delight, and how Rosen is focused on Mattsen's story-telling lines, with Barraco's beautiful grand piano harmonically dancing around Mattsen's lead, now this is a band that Scott would be proud of! Makes me thing that Kadlecik might have a difficult time applying for a job with DSO after Weir & Lesh move onto another project... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
