Crazy Fingers fake before Box of Rain. First of two at Dead Dome in Spring 93, what a treat to see the band in an on campus facility in 1993. Solid playing throughout, the second set supplying a little extra juice, the post space even more so. The band could occasionally blow the doors off even in this late vintage. https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1993/03/24?source=346055 Praise DSO. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tea Posted March 24, 2023 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 The Chapel Hill tour stop had a good deal to do with me deciding to live here (since 1995)! The final choice was between Austin, TX and Chapel Hill, NC. Both are great towns, but I knew being closer to my parents would be a pivot point... I can't believe how unprepared the town was for the circus 😜 Camping out on the quad was a good time even if the police didn't agree. Chapel Hill and CalExpo later in the Spring of 1993 were the last good/great shows I would see. There were some great moments to come but it felt like just moments instead of whole shows..... Thanks for posting this, Bill ❤️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP BillK522 Posted March 25, 2023 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 93/03/25 Dean Smith Center, UNC, Chapel Hill, NC Touch of Grey>Greatest Story, So Many Roads, Minglewood, Lazy River Road, Mexicali Blues> Big River, Friend of the Devil, Eternity, Liberty. China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider, Women Are Smarter, Wave to the Wind>Terrapin Station> Drums>Space>Way to Go Home>Other One> Morning Dew. E: The Weight. Second of the pair at the Dean Dome. List riddled with new material, but I recall the music inspired. SMR, after some early second set work, mostly a first set number. Six of first ten Eternitys were attached to Liberty. Wave to the Wind preceded Terrapin 3 out of 21 total plays. Way to Go led us out of space seven times in 93 [4] and 94 [3]. End late song research. 10 song first, 5/3/1 second with a Dew-solid for 93. Much like Tea, I consider these shows among the best of my late vintage attendances.

Forum MVP John A Posted March 27, 2023 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Would never have guessed Way To Go Home came out of space 7 times. Thought it was exclusively pre-drums material. God bless humanity for that tune to drive the coveted transition out of space slot. This prompted my own research re: Wave to the Wind. Could it have actually come out of space? Yep. It did so twice. Turns out I actually saw one of them. Better to have blocked that kind of shit out I suppose. There are also 2 occasions of Way To Go Home being followed by Wave to the Wind. Ouch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really good quality recording. Never miss a Sunday.

Indeed, the sort of thing that one may normally whistle past the graveyard in knowing that I happened to attend both of those shows. They were both in 1993. And they were both the 7th out of 7 shows in a row for me. 1. March 18 - Cap Center. The Way2Go>Wave horror was somewhat diminished in that they didn’t take the place of songs, i.e. they followed China>Rider and then got Estimated>Terrapin to follow. Make no mistake, I (likely) wasn’t thrilled at the time, but at least they didn’t shorten the set, at least from a song count standpoint. This set had Bruce on accordion. 2. June 23 - Deer Creek. This show was like a trip on the struggle bus (pun intended), until it wasn’t. After the Way2>Wave was a run of music that everyone here should hear. Terrapin> JAM!> Drums/Space> Dark Star> Wheel> Good Love e: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds So while Way2Go was sometimes pretty good by this point, Wave2theWind was never on my wishlist. But these shows had some other things to console us, despite that horror… Here’s the Deer Creek show. Get in there today, that jam is a monstrosity. Terrapin as we know it as well as reality begins to be left behind at around the 12-minute mark. https://archive.org/details/gd1993-06-23.sbd.miller.108984.flac16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP BillK522 Posted March 28, 2023 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I am thrilled that Way2Go and Wave2theWind have created such lively discussion. I cannot resist any musical notes played by Jerry Garcia regardless of the songs they are contained in. Fabulous post DD, funny how 30 years after the fact I find out we were both at the Cap Center that evening. Having Bruce on accordion for the second set probably assisted in on stage juice.

E: Johnny B. Goode For your approval, this colossal thirty song odyssey from East Coat Spring 1973. Only time Cumberland and HCS were ever attached. Seventeen song first has some thing for everyone punctuated by the closing China>Rider. Early second set merely a precursor to the otherworldly closing triad. The Star clocks in at a cool 32:08, going all the way out and back. A showpiece for the band in 1973 glory. Official release Dave's Picks 16.

Funny that I was just yesterday also calculating that it was indeed 30 years ago for those, because I am reuniting with a great friend at the Phish Greek shows that I went “in and out of the Gardens” in Fall 1993, Once I thought for a moment, the math is easy, haha. Right on, Billy - can’t wait until our next show together! 😎 (Get out West, ffs!) 😝🥳 DD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the second night the coveted High Time gifted to us all in the first. Jerry loved us all so much he just had to play a little dark star to finish off this series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted April 6, 2023 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 I've tried to paste links throughout the day, no luck. Very big day 4/6/84 my first long distance drive for a show and clearly remember the china ryder and eyes and the mushrooms and using the cc my dad gave me for emergencies at college. He didn't think buying a case of beer in Las Vegas as an emergency and took that away. It was my only contribution to the trip for our group heading out of Laramie. Then 4/6/85 the only show of the Philly three to close out spring where I learned the hard lesson that you have to tour the dead as you can see what happened at the two I missed. I was chasing after that mistake 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
