Did they do 17? Praise DSO. Expand Billy the Kid! 🤠 WINNER! That Would Be Something was always played in the second set. Nice pull! That leaves just one. This last song was —played > 10 times (18) —always in the same set (the second) —a Bobby song (that everyone here has heard) —first appeared in 1984; last time played was in 1993 out of Space.

Joel I'm afraid you need to join Hardpan in the penalty box...Estimated was played in something like 60 straight shows when it debuted - in 1977! In set 1 no less.

More posts in 3 days than in the last year Black Throated Wind? Expand Your instincts are good on this one, Tea, because BT Wind would have made it, EXCEPT for the ONE TIME out of 158 times played that it crept out of its usual, first set placement and into set THREE. 3/25/72 in NYC. This last song that we’re chasing did not first appear until 1984, but that one just seemed so clear that I don’t blame you for making sure I didn’t fuck it up, haha.

Hardpan Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Rolling through songs in my head, and thinking about Desolation Row. Surprised to know that it was played other than set 1, doesn’t fit the criteria here for a set 2 song, but it’s gotta be close on a mostly set one number. Stumped.

Expand Now I see that you have VERY little faith in me, haha. 😂 All Over Now was played in the second set of the final Grateful Dead show ever played in Africa. Cairo, 9/16/78. It was in only one other second set, 11/20/70, with Jorma. A list I strongly suggest taking a peek at, if not a listen to. Wow. ———————————— The song we are looking for is not tricky because of the set placement: we all know this song as solely a part of second sets. The song is so damn tricky that it’s even hard to give hints that won’t be the equivalent of just giving you the answer! 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted July 29, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Oh fucking hell - I just got it! And it's indeed somewhat of a trick question, which is why even with the hints it seemed so perplexing. Despite finishing Playin' in the Band later in shows many times (and in both sets) since the early 70s, until the mid 80s there had never been stand alone Reprises absent the rest of the song. So the answer has to be the Playin' Reprise. My head hurts. Thanks, Desert...I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP 2muchfun Posted July 29, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Playing Reprise cannot be right...it is part of Playin like it or not and has been played a zillion times.

Forum MVP John A Posted July 29, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 2muchfun - Sure, Playin' was finished from a different set, or earlier in the set, but never from a different show until the mid 80s. But the reason it's a trick question is an issue I've always had with Deadbase. They don't delineate Playin' Reprise as an overt thing if Playin' was finished from earlier in the show. But they do delineate it if it was in a show where the rest of Playin' never occurred. I'd have done it differently, and there would be tons of entries for "Playin' Reprise" from 1972 forward. And many of these would be in set 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
