Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we’ll check out three shows from Alpine Valley, in 1985, 1988, and 1989.

Next is the start of the second set from the Dead’s first night of a four night run, on 6/19/88, featuring the first performance of Foolish Heart followed by a couple of classics: Foolish Heart ; Playing In The Band > Uncle John's Band.
Lastly this week is the second set opening sequence from 7/19/89 featuring China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider, Playing In The Band> Uncle John's Band> Standing On The Moon.
Be sure to come back next week for more music from the vault.

The 1989 show is 1989-07-17 and not 1989-07-19, but still from Alpine Valley.
March 13 - 19
Did the summer tour from. foxboro out to alpine then finished off the last three nights at the Greek! Alpine hands down three smokers! What a time it was to be 19 and on the road with the Dead!
Alpine '89
the 2nd set sequence from 7/19 is really the 1st night of the run on 7/17....
The 1989 show is 1989-07-17 and not 1989-07-19, but still from Alpine Valley.
I like this show and am a plus 1 on summer 85 overall.
How about the board of Alpine 87 sometime? I think we can handle a suboptimal sound. I just wanna hear it...
Thanks Dead.net for the tunes as always. :-) :-) :-)
-edit- 71789 is also a classic ;-)
