Forum MVP John A Posted March 24, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Mumblings of the pedantic Deadhead: China->Rider went into drums->space 3 times.... 6-24-80 Grand Rapids, 8-14-81 Seattle (which also featured Baby Blue introduced into the rotation as an encore, played for the first time since February '74), and 6-16-91 Giants Stadium. How 'bout that? I would have guessed the number of times that happened was zero. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 91/06/16 Giants Stadium pre drums showed up at BDP 12. Praise DSO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted July 22, 2022 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 And back to our random Dead minutiae of the day…. Foolish Heart was played 3 times after space, in consecutive appearances, about 6 months after it debuted. On 12-28-88 it was Miracle > Foolish > Lovelight to close the show. On 2-7-89 it was put between Throwing Stones and Good Lovin'. And on 2-12-89 it ended the 2nd set after Other One > Stella. And with the experiment obviously over, it went back to its pre-drums slot, seasoned in with an occasional 1st set appearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted July 23, 2022 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 You picked a damn good vintage for a large touring year! Spring tour was no more than solid, at least in my book, but the February shows, the summer tour, and obviously the fall tour were all gold. I saw both Oakland post space Foolish Hearts, but for some reason didn't make it down to LA for those Forum dates. And after seeing what happened with the Dylan appearance on 2-12 I was beating myself up over it. Pretty cool that they essentially let Dylan call the pre-drums sequence, which reads like an extension of the first set and includes the only Monkey and the Engineer since '81 plus an electric version to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeezed in a dozen Jerry shows as well, it was a good year. Praise DSO. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 23, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Foolish Heart is a great song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted October 8, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Scouring deadbase I found an interesting trivia question. What song opened a show in 76, 83 and 93 as its only 3 openers ever and closed 1 show ever in 77?? Its always fun popping out the deadbase to see how a song placement starts then ends and how the band experimented with it in both sets until it found a possible resting spot for it in one set or another or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted October 8, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hhmmm, deadbase free here, tried it once. It was alright. I’m guessing in the timing that it’s gotta be something off of blues for Allah. Now I have something to ponder today, thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted October 8, 2022 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I racked my brain for 10 minutes and had nothing, so I looked it up. Quality trivia right there! I even saw the '93 show and would never have guessed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted October 10, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Samson & Delilah. I think that tune was on Peter, Paul & Mary’s first album, under a different title. Apparently a folk standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WharfRatStu Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Good one Rude. Just last week I caught a show on Sirius (I think) and they opened with Samson, I thought that was an odd opening and just wrote it off as I must have missed some of the show...
