Days Of Dead

Space>Truckin'>Black Peter
Hint:
A pair of the songs from the Dead's pair of 1970 acoustic masterpieces

East Troy, WI, Alpine Valley Music Theatre
In the 1980s, Truckin' often came out of Space until around 1987, when it was more frequently a song that went into Drums. This 1985 version from Alpine segues into a beautiful Black Peter.

    Wrong answer

    Now I need someone to tell me they're not eliminating correct answers, this is twice...

    I call shenanigans. Pittsburg?!?

    Pittsburg is in Kansas, though the PA city was spelled that way before 1910. Have to fix these things (a Felt Forum show in 94. Really?). Got lucky today and found it right away. Jerry’s voice kind of gave away the era and then Bobby’s guitar effects throughout Truckin made it easy to distinguish.

that transition from Space to Truckin' is exciting! the crashing noise near the end of Space is something I've never heard before...Healy? anyway, can I just say I've always loved the way Jerry sings, "I love.." in Black Peter. three excellent tracks today!

Any self-respecting Head who had a cassette player in the 1980’s had a copy of this show. The HEY BOBBY, PLAY CHINA CAT banter at the beginning of set II is classic. I was a camp counselor the summer of ‘81 and I used to play this show (one of the first tapes I ever had and before I had ever seen the band) for my 13 year old campers and they loved it. The little Jerry riff in the China Cat intro still sounds as exciting now as it did oh so many years ago

OK, it wasn't all that hard but I'd like to think I'm getting better at this, lol. Some very unique sounds in the space going into Truckin'.
Cheers

He throws an Oakland show, San Jose or the Few S's under the W's at the bottom of the venue list. Makes Pittsburg or MSG Felt Forum a piece of cake, so many variations.

Nearly the last show I saw at this venue that used to be one our staples before I headed to new lands. Almost skipped it over as the time didn't look right for a match of the various tunes ... glad I checked

Listened to a number of space>truckin' from different periods on this search - this one is one of the best, hints of the truckin' rhythm appearing then gradually strengthening until it opens right up. And Jerry's first solo on Black Peter is masterful (and good voice here too). "The people might know, but the people don't care". Sad but true.
But, man, that distortion! (and Healy's shenanigans?) - Bobby's guitar right up there in the mix and wickedly distorted at times. Yeah!

Please, please, please Dave, release this show. It’s been one of my favorites for 25 years, especially with all the great jams in the second set!

Mr. Spacely would be proud. But that poor, Poor Peter. Sometimes I think we should just let him die already, but I love hearing it so much that he's just going to have to wait. Hang in there Pete.

All of my friends and I picked this place to go for many shows.
We always enjoyed to go run and see another show the day after.
And sometimes it certainly felt like the lights were all shining on me.
These shows were definitely not just like any other day.
Loving the 30 Days!

Sounds like he is having trouble with his tongue and lips at the very least! Usually it's Jerry with the vocal flubs like that.
This was not to easy a search but not too hard either.

I had a baby boy snuggly and warm inside of me. Our son's first Dead Show. Just sayin'.
