I gave 3 years later at Buffalo a whirl last night. 7-4-89. Great show. Ultra-Matrix is the recommended source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted July 14, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Listened to the encore this morning. Made me think about how difficult it must have been for Jerry and the boys to do such a good job with it after having not played it for like five years. That’s no small task. All the more reason to appreciate just how Remarkable they were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 16, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 31 years ago today, the first of 14 shows at Deer Creek took place on July 15, 1989. Your friend, Desert Dead, proudly attended every one of them. (We should have had 15, damn gate crashers!) It will surprise exactly no one here that this was a very spirited performance. And although there were a few pretty major foibles (Crazy Fingers, China Doll), it did not deter from the fun of it all one bit. Garcia’s guitar tone was particularly sharp (in a good way) this evening. Close Encounters space in here as an added kicker. Uno: Bertha, Greatest Story Ever Told, Candyman, Walkin' Blues, Peggy-O, Queen Jane Approximately, We Can Run But We Can't Hide, Bird Song Dose: Foolish Heart, Victim Or The Crime, Crazy Fingers-> Truckin'-> Smokestack Lightning-> Drums-> Jam-> China Doll-> All Along The Watchtower-> Stella Blue-> Sugar Magnolia, E: Brokedown Palace https://archive.org/details/gd89-07-15.sbd.11266.sbeok.shnf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted July 16, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 China doll seems like a song that is enticing to go into but once you're there it's a lot more complicated than it appeared before committing. I've been led to it only to find myself lost once the lyrics and minor chords took over the song. Songs can disappear if they aren't kept in rotation. Some songs don't dissolve as easily as others and can be played whenever without worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckin' -> Smokestack Lightning That transition into Smokestack is some of the best shit the post coma Grateful Dead did. Then Garcia proceeded to simply not let up for the duration of Smokestack. Great stuff. And nice Deer Creek credentials to have seen every show there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milehighjoel. Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 DesertDead Man o man you got it so right. Deer Creek had a truly magical essence, and looking over my shoulder at flying pieces of fence during 95 desolation row was so awwful. Deer Creek 90 was so slick, one of the tightest in the 90s era. We skipped 94 but...Please, please if anyone hasnt checked out the Deer Creek 93 terrapin, JAM, drums, space, dark star, wheel ....do so. The terrapin jam,. All I can do is laugh. So good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs don't dissolve as easily as others and can be played whenever without worry While the Crazy Fingers I mentioned was more about the typical, Jerry belts out “Gone are the days” while Bobby and Brent are loudly exclaiming “Life may be sweeter”, the China Doll was a bit of what you’re describing, AC. Although in this case it happened to Jer. Not quite like Wharf Rat 6/18/95 or anything on that level, but lost a bit. Whatever it was he wanted to set it straight, for we got it two shows later out of space at Alpine (7/18), executed magnificently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuck Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Deer Creek was an amazing venue. One of my favorite stops. Electric energy and high anticipation that greatness was going to be witnessed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tea Posted July 16, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Deer Creek was an excellent venue even if most residents of Noblesville cursed under their collective breaths when the circus came to town. Lazy Acres Campground was really, really, really, really, really fun 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
