Week of June 5-11, 2023
Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have Grateful Dead music from 1973, 1988, and 1990.
Our first stop this week is on 9/12/73 at William and Mary Hall at the College Of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA, where we have Weather Report Suite, Around and Around, Eyes Of The World>Stella Blue. The Dead had just wrapped up recording Wake Of The Flood a couple of weeks earlier, and this is one of the first renditions of Weather Report Suite, which debuted a few days earlier at Nassau Coliseum.
Next is the end of the second set from 9/6/88 at the Capital Center in Landover, MD, where we have this classic sequence from the era: Space > The Other One > Wharf Rat > Throwing Stones > Not Fade Away.
Lastly this week is the end of the show from 9/8/90 in Richfield, OH, Vince Welnick’s second show as a member of the Grateful Dead, where we have All Along The Watchtower> SteIla Blue> Throwing Stones> Not Fade Away, One More Saturday Night.
Be sure to stop by next week for more music from the vault.

On horns: I like it. Some don't. It ain't exactly Branford.
But they're doing it nowadays to great success.
Bob is digging his orchestrations.
Or say, TTB.
It's fun to hear early versions.
You can get the pure distillate.
But sometimes it's better if it's left in the barrel awhile.
Cheers
