As far as I know, all the guests appearances were unannounced, adding to the freak factor. Spencer Davis killed the GSL, and the pre drums with Dylan provided several highlights. Dylan doing the Dead after the Dead doing Dylan in 87, The Bus floated back to SF after this one. Praise DSO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 69 comments thus far, 68 of which are quite positive. Then there's this moron: "The only thing more mind-numbing than listening to the Grateful Dead is listening to someone trying to convince you that they were great. Today I’m embarrassed to be a Times reader." I did get a kick out of this comment, in reaction to the scathing Lou Reed quote in the article: "Lou Reed was a legend in his own mind. When you look at the history of rock-and-roll, is he really much more than maybe a 3-hit wonder?" Ha! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the jam to open set 2 for something very unique, as it occurs while Jerry’s guitar is being repaired. This is a cool audience recording. It’s funny to me that I was once a bit of a soundboard snob, but now in my *more experienced* years I get especially excited about a quality, unique audience recording. Enjoy!

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted December 19, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 They did the same thing a week later, 12/26/69, in Dallas. My favorite show. Supposedly, the drummer was late, Not on the acoustic set. I read somewhere about the honesty of ‘ someone is late so, let’s play acoustic’. Some say it was a stunt of sorts so that the could dabble in acoustic. I’m glad they did. I love acoustic Grateful Dead, 1970 and 1980. Jerry’s style really comes through on acoustic. Listen to Jerry’s solo on ‘to lay me down’ off of Reckoning. Such gentle picking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
