Forum MVP Tea Posted March 22, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 3/23/90 - Hamilton, ONT That place had a really great vibe. Friendly Faces abound, Cool cops, welcoming residents, planets aligned perfectly. Best Scarlet > Fire I ever saw 🔥! Jerry’s Midi work is pretty spell-binding along with an almost dirty melody. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is no small statement, given all that happened on the tour. Best heard via the 24 track Box Set release. Bobby got back by his monitor and took to one knee for special feedback during the thick of it. It was pretty deep stuff, especially for a first set. Both of those shows were so much fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a green orb night here’s set 2 I went with VoodooNOLA’s posting, which is only set 2, just because you know the quality will be as good as it can be. The whole show is out there, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estimated Prophet>Scarlet Begonias>Crazy Fingers> Playin' In the Band>D>S>Take You Home>GDTRFB> Throwin' Stones>NFA. E: We Bid You Goodnight. Spring 90 tour comes to a close with the third show in Atlanta. Shakedown, Bucket a killer open. The start of We Can Run was a mess, but the rest of the first set solid. Pre drums sequence tasty, and the Throwin' Stones was stomped. It was 30 years ago today. Praise DSO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that even possible? 30 years. Sometimes it feel like a lifetime ago and other times it seems like it was yesterday - wow. I have a really cool Omni story - I'm pretty sure I've told it before on here so I won't bore everyone. One of the other memories from this show was me not being pissed that Scarlet didn't go into Fire - probably the only time. I had an unhealthy dislike for Women R Smarter for this reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted April 8, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I missed this spring tour, Working on boats in OCNJ. WMMR in Philly had the opening of the show live on the radio. Bobby hits the midnight hour, the crowd goes nuts and I immediately regret not being there. I made sure THAT never happened again.

Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted April 9, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Had the same effect on me. We drive the 10 hrs from cincy for the first night which was on a Saturday night. China rider, my friend and I drove home straight after the first, missing the second and third night. Summer tour was on , red rocks, encouraged me to go to the two night new years "run" and then do every show in 86 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted April 9, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I did the Spectrum show the next spring where Jerry played ‘comes a time’. Unfortunately, I drank about eight beers, dropped a green world blotter, and inadvertently smoked some opium offered to us by the heads that pushed their broke down VW bus into the parking spot next to us. Yea, I noticed a funny taste and was like, what are we smoking? ‘Oh, it’s opium.’ Needless to say, I was too ossified to appreciate what was a really good show. I never left my seat all night. That night was the one that motivated me to start racking up the shows and taking the music seriously, letting the party become secondary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted April 17, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Friday April 17th in 1987. Drove from Wyoming through Vegas, all night, picked up friend flying in from cincy at LAX at 5pm, drove like a mad man to get into the show on time, even had to score a ticket for my buddy. Cold Rain opener and Jerry with a trim, trim new haircut for the first outdoor show of the year! Irvine was a fun grassy lot and I believe it was GA, we got fairly close in the steps area, maybe GA lawn and then pavilion steps? All those California venues seemed to be GA: Frost, Greeks, New Years, SF Civic, Kaiser? What am I missing? Wiltern and warfield were assigned seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted April 17, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Irvine was reserved in the seats, GA in the lawn. Shoreline was the same, perhaps the last bastion of reserved seating for the Dead in CA. Jerry at Warfield was reserved balcony and GA floor. Just like DSO.....wait....DSO plays the Warfield? 😲👋🎶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After checking the tour books, I had GA floor tickets on Friday and Sunday, reserved seating in the bowl on Saturday Nite, hard to believe they were actually able to enforce that set up. The pre drums on the 12th put a couple gems on the frequency chart, I had to wait until 95/03/19 for another Alabama. Your run in December looks solid on paper, and you had a guest heavy show on Sunday as well. Praise DSO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a moment in that Alabama that's actually a highlight of '95, for what that worth. Check out Jerry belting "down in the valley of the shadows..." Beyond that, it seemed for a brief moment the first set was going to run all of 1/2 hour when Don't Ease ended, before the shocker of shockers, Unbroken Chain. Too bad they didn't give that one a try while Jerry still had some chops to lend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
