    12/4/90

    Half way through the first and really nice!
    Hot Jack opener!

    12/3 was good, but I don’t recall any real standouts one way or another…

    6/17/94: BC, BUMMER! Dooode I thought Seattle was decent, and the 2 Autzens you saw were good, but 6/17…that’s gotta be in top ten for the year!
    Sorry, That’s gotta still hurt ; )

    Nice/interesting tales DR. My cousin would say “little bit of something better than all of nothing”.
    So you caught one of the tours best in good shape, then that awesome H/S/F and a good set, but, Not Loose Lucy was having none of it (bummer), so you missed a good second set with less than optimum JG voice, but you got to experience 11/1 and most especially DS on veggies…it’s like one of those CC ads:
    Tix 100
    Subway 20
    Supplies 50
    Annoying GF X
    Playin>Jam>DS> Killer D/S>DS>Playin…Priceless!

    I spent 17 years chasing that kinda goodness lol
    I’d say you did pretty well.
    Onward! (Wonder how many times I’ll have to shovel today? Lol)

    All over the place

    That sounds like a pretty good description of me when The Dead came to Wembley in 1990 ! I was lucky to catch all three shows, and of those the one I enjoyed the most was the first - 10/30/90. I went on my own and didn't ingest anything stronger than a couple of pints - maybe that helped.
    It was an amazing scene to me outside the stadium, with all the vendors selling their wares. Inside was great too, milling around. I was right near the front in the stalls - after all these years of listening to The Dead and reading about them- there they were, in person , within shouting distance. Songs which stood out were Row Jimmy Row ( not a song I like at home), Built to Last - which had a lot more substance than the recorded version, and Black Peter - quite something seeing Jerry sing this close up.
    It was a buzz when they started up Lovelight, too. I had probably never heard a version of this post Pigpen, so the mere fact of them playing something off Live Dead was reward in itself. Weird phone calls seemed to come out of the amps during this song. They are transcribed in the Taping Compendium, which was quite re-assuring to read. Proof I hadn't imagined it!

    The following night I was joined by Lady Macbeth, as my dad called my girlfriend, and trouble followed. We arrived as they were playing H-S-F, and they seemed to have more energy than the previous night. But we left after the first set. The third night I was back on my tod, and decided to take some mushrooms. And got lost on the way there due to one of the tube stations being closed. I still arrived on time, but I started tripping on the London underground which was a bit...challenging. I was up in the balcony this night, to the right of the stage. The sound was really bad - what I heard was anyway. The piano sounded too loud and the guitars too quiet. The highlight of this night was Space- Drums.

    I agree that, of the shows I have heard from this tour, the one released in 30 Trips - Paris 10/27/90 - is the best. Playing now as I type.

    Set II, begins "in the pouring rain", only Autzen night show(?) or was it an afternoon show on a Friday which is why I couldn't make it down from Seattle? Anyhoo, sure wish I'd been there - saw the 2 shows in Seattle before and then the 2 Autzen shows after this (last time they played there).

    Rain > Eyes > Samba > Saint > D/S > Wheel > Attics > Throwing > Not Fade Away

    no circulating sbd - can anybody fix that : ) - source is the Paul B audience transfer - sweet pull

    Poor Jerry's voice

    but again

    I don't listen to GD for the vocals

    took a chance and played Scarlet Fire from 3/10/81 for my son last night and emphasized the peak toward the end of Fire

    he appreciates the musicianship and respects the GD
    I consider that a win

    Wow, the three Wembley shows were all over the place!
    The first on the 30th was tour status quo goodness! Though I still think Paris was top dog, and Mr David picked well with 10/27.
    The 31 starts out awesome, but somewhere in the first set Jers voice suddenly goes rogue, which is a shame because the show is well played otherwise with many highlights, including a fun encore.

    11/1/90 I’d heard/had at least the second but it’s been awhile.
    The Playin Sammy/sequence is awesome! Victum was good, Touch ok, but consistency wise, much of this show was all over the place, including a couple near train wrecks i.e., U.S, Blew…
    Interesting tour. Might as well keep Truckin’ on…12/3/90

    Edit: S-W-B: can you imagine if he had the same PA, Modulus Bass, PIE Amps, Meyers 18’s and 15’s, and rack in 68 as he had when you were there!

    Phil ... Absolutely mashing it !!!
    To think of the folks being plastered back into those lower stone seats as he thundered along on the Eleven & Caution!
    Bless you Phil (and the boys) for all the fun you gave us for all those years. I was lucky enough to be able to experience that exact Greek sensation just once - an indelibly (psychedelically) imprinted version of the Other One at the final GD Greek Theatre show - August 1989.

    while perusing NFL game day with sound off! (Only way to do sports ; )

    Hopefully 10/31 later…

    Yep gay Pair-ee I’d say was the shizzle so far. Both shows rocked and had few flaws, let’s see how jolly old England stacks up?

    10/24/90 to start…
    EDIT: smooth show, perhaps best playing overall this tour, if perhaps a bit safe/cautious?

    Onto 10/27, and hoping for a DHB with 10/28 as TOO is off to work, woo hoo!
    Dbl Edit: holy crap! Now I’ve played the Boxilla 27th before, but I guess I hadn’t actually “heard” it yet! Yowsa! Good Sheet Mon!

    Ok, onto the 28…

    10/20&22/90
    Both good, thought first show was better. Loved the Bruce Jam in the first, and sweet spacey Dark Star, though perhaps not JGs best version. In fact I’m digging these shows a lot, but Jer occasionally seems? Every now and then he kinda drifts? Hard to describe, just something..is..? Maybe just me?
    Fun if not great Valley Road, nice SOTM, and that Stella might just be the best thing I’ve heard on the tour so far, amazing Stella on the 22!

    Day off and fired this up, since I didn't have the opportunity to listen to it on the anniversary yesterday. BTW keeps pouring in ! ... Awesome set 2, plus love the OO - MLB - Stella filler from the 20th.

I have recently found a crystal clear aud. copy of 10-8-1983. Downloaded in .flac and put on a thumb drive and my Onkyo receiver has an onboard DAC converter so I'm hearing it through my 2 Bose 301's and a Polk sub. Sounds fantastic! It's a great tape remastered by Charlie Miller, thanks Charlie!
