    Announcing Spring 1990 (The Other One)

    "If every concert tells a tale, then every tour writes an epic. Spring 1990 felt that way: an epic with more than its share of genius and drama, brilliance and tension. And that is why the rest of the music of that tour deserves this release, why the rest of those stories need to be heard." - Nicholas G. Meriwether

    Some consider Spring 1990 the last great Grateful Dead tour. That it may be. In spite of outside difficulties and downsides, nothing could deter the Grateful Dead from crafting lightness from darkness. They were overwhelmingly triumphant in doing what they came to do, what they did best — forging powerful explorations in music. Yes, it was the music that would propel their legacy further, young fans joining the ranks with veteran Dead Heads, Jerry wondering "where do they keep coming from?" — a sentiment that still rings true today, a sentiment that offers up another opportunity for an exceptional release from a tour that serves as transcendental chapter in the Grateful Dead masterpiece.

    With Spring 1990 (The Other One), you'll have the chance to explore another eight complete shows from this chapter, the band elevating their game to deliver inspired performances of concert staples (“Tennessee Jed” and “Sugar Magnolia”), exceptional covers (Dylan’s “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and the band’s last performance of the Beatles’ “Revolution”) and rare gems (the first “Loose Lucy” in 16 years) as well as many songs from Built To Last, which had been released the previous fall and would become the Dead’s final studio album. Also among the eight is one of the most sought-after shows in the Dead canon: the March, 29, 1990 show at Nassau Coliseum, where Grammy®-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis sat in with the group. The entire second set is one continuous highlight, especially the breathtaking version of “Dark Star.”

    For those of you who are keeping track, this release also marks a significant milestone as now, across the two Spring 1990 boxed sets, Dozin At The Knick, and Terrapin Limited, the entire spring tour of 1990 has been officially released, making it only the second Grateful Dead tour, after Europe 1972, to have that honor.

    Now shipping, you'll want to order your copy soon as these beautiful boxes are going, going, gone...

    I purchased a Road Trips 2.2, Carousel 2-14-68, and it had the bonus disc in with the other two discs, not in a separate jacket.

    This is an incredible box set, "Eyes Of The World" sounds better than ever , Garcia plays as freely as ever. Marsalis seems at ease "playing in the band" WOW 54 3de

    I wonder how much "pushback"
    I wonder how much "pushback" he got from the jazz community as the bandleader for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"? On these performances, Branford seems to me almost a little lost at times just keeping up with the band, trying to get a note in wherever he could that would fit. All good though! Wish I had been there.

    That's a great point steve73, about the pushback Branford got from the jazz community about playing with the Dead. I knew a jazz musician years ago: he loved Branford but thought his playing with the Dead was a "sell out". I suppose he was also trying to "get my goat" a little bit.

    Spring 90 TOO 3-21-90
    I am listening to the whole (released) tour in order and am up to Copps 3-21. It seems the Audience presence is greater on this show more so than the ones leading up to it. Maybe it's just my imagination. The other things I'm hearing is more separation on TOO than the first box and a more prominent Phil on TOO as well. Still can't figure out exactly why they would not have taken the opportunity to mix the first box right when they had the tapes. Bobby is going with the effeminate squealing on Estimated, and it makes cameos elsewhere which may not be for everyone. I like how the Victim gets way out there in the first set and into Standing on the Moon is sweet. Crazy Fingers>Cumberland is just Great. Brent is the MVP for me so far (China Doll 3-19, high harmonies on Loose Lucy 3-14 and 3-21), but really the whole band is cranking on all cylinders.

    1990, The Other One
    Well as many folks have expressed, this box set is amazing. I got it on the 15th, and have only been through three shows so far. Quite possibly the BEST sounding live Grateful Dead recordings, ever.....and that says a lot. You actually feel like you're in the front row when you listen to them. I am totally enjoying these shows, and taking my time. :). Hope everyone is too. :)

    Fall 77 came with bonus disc, I got in the spring of 2014. I got MSG 90 last week and sadly, no bonus. I have ordered a few others since the Spring time, just hoping it would have showed up with bonus. And the only one was Fall 77'. For some odd reason I have a gut feeling the Valentines 68' show is being sent out with Bonus as well. But I don't have any proof. I already own that 68' set but it looks like a lot of sealed RT from Fall 77 and Feb. 68 showed up on eBay around the same time with bonus included.

    Bonus Disc
    Hello Everyone, I don't want to hijack the thread, but I wanted to let you know that I ordered a few single discs from Dead.net last week after receiving the box set. I guess when it rains, it pours. Anyway, I ordered the Fall 1977 Road Trips and, lo and behold, it had the bonus disc in it. I had heard about that there were some bonus discs floating around on some of the old Road Trips. Well, the 77 bonus was in my set. I was kind of hoping for this to be honest with you. They must be at the bottom of the barrel, so I'm guessing the inventory is running low. I also ordered the MSG '90 set, sadly no bonus disc there. The bonus disc I really wanted was from that MSG set and From Egypt with Love. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know.

    Listening in order
    So far I've made it through the first 5 shows of this set beginning with Cap Center through the first Nassau show and am utterly blown away. Every show so far is a highlight unto themselves. Even without the Branford show and the two Omni stops, a run I attended, this would have been a satisfying box set. '87 - 'Summer '90 was truly a magical period for the Dead. Seeing as how they recorded most if not all of the shows from Summer '89 through Spring '90, there is enough quality material on par with this box left to release another 4 or 5 box sets from this peak era. So far I've resisted listening to the Branford show and the two Omni shows, both of which I attended in order to put myself into a more spiritual space. I was familiar with much of this tour with a few exceptions (Hartford and the first night in Nassau), and this listening experience reaffirms my view that this was a time when the Dead went beyond being mere musicians to superhero status. What can I possibly say about Brent that already hasn't said? THIS is the tour that you play to turn people onto the Dead. A few bars of Loose Lucy from 3/14/90 should do the trick! I have to thank everybody involved with the production of this set and congratulate for an exemplary job all around, but most of all, I have to thank everybody whose patience with my sometimes blunt commentary who showed such an amazing level of generosity when I hardly deserved it. Thank you!

    OK. Now I get it.
    I stopped attending Grateful Dead concerts in 1986 after some disappointing shows. My collection of Dead recordings focuses on the pre-Brent period, particularly '69 to '73. I bought the first 1990 box and enjoyed it, with its in-the-audience sound perspective, sometimes muddy vocals, and other audio problems, but I didn't love it. When this batch came along, I could not resist buying the Branford show. HOLY MOLY! Aside from Branford Marsalis's performance, the fantastic sound quality and terrific performances by the Dead, themselves, simply blew me away. Had to download the rest. I've been listening to it (still a long way to go) ever since. All the polish of '77 and then some, with most of the youthful energy of prior decades. The psychedelia of the early days comes through from time to time, as well. I'm having a hell of a good time with this. Thanks to all involved. (Re: the great Branford debate: I've been a jazz fan for quite a while, and a fan of Branford Marsalis's ever since I saw him and his younger brother perform as members of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in about 1980. I think it's important to understand the pushback he was getting for performing with rock groups, particularly Sting, and for forming his own funk/jazz group in the '80s. Jazz purists just hate it when one of their own finds success as a crossover. Branford had to defend himself in every interview with the jazz press and assure them that he was not abandoning jazz. Typically, he would tell them politely that they had their heads up their butts, rock music is fun for him, and artists like the Grateful Dead were a little different from Madonna in terms of complexity and artistic merit. Let's not get carried away by a phrase or two that he's uttered over the years.)

My pleasure. I had considered suggesting that you post your physical address, but realized that you might wind up being over donated. Be that as it may, do so and use the funds for future releases. I purchase multiple copies of almost every release for fellow heads who are not as financially well off. This music is simply a treasure and nobody as devoted as you should go without. I attended many of the shows on this tour and possess life long joyful memories. But I simply do not enjoy listening to the music any more. To me, the magic is gone. How I envy those who were there in the beginning. Let us know where to send the funds and the money will be promptly delivered. Peace and enjoy. Lastly. PFox - you are a complete and utter tool. Enjoy living off of your parents hard earnings and go find another band.

I too will save for the big anniversary year! The last show I think i saw was in the summer of 89 so… did not see the band after I got married in 1990 (2015 will be a big year! 25 years of marriage and for the Dead as well!) Seems from what I have read/studied most folks think 1991 was the last really solid year for the boys, and things went down from there, with some good nights and some not so good… I remember well where I was when I heard Jerry had died in 1995. Again, by then, I had not seen the band live in about 6 years… I think I always thought I might get back to one more show… but I guess it probably was best I did not… Looking at some of the youtube vids of Jerry at the end… just sad to see, even to this day! Really think he looked good in 1989, maybe the best he had looked in many years… so maybe glad I shut it down there? I goof on Brent a bit, again he was my keyboard guy from 1984-89. And I do like some of his covers: Gimme Some Lovin, Dear Mr Fantasy, Hey Jude is not too bad…sometimes Let the good times roll… but think, when he was at his best, it was doing backup vocals, again, just my opinion with a a distance of 25/30 years… yikes. So I tend to listen to a time frame I did not witness… which is really late 1960s to early 1980 Have a Grateful weekend

Other then the Europe '72 box., I think the cost per disc of this Spring '90 #2 is the lowest one. It comes to 10.43 U.S. dollars per disc. (I am not going to look at taxes or international duties here) Most of the other releases run a bit over 11.00 U.S. dollars per disc, so I think this one is fairly priced. Plus, due to the dearth of Brent releases & later, this one will sell out pretty quickly. For proof of this, look how fast the first Spring '90 box and DaP8 sold out. Some here have been comparing it to the May '77 box. Let's not forget, that one had 15,000 copies and this one has only 9,000. That is 40% less, and for an era that many folks have been asking for. It will sell out pretty quickly for sure. If you don't get it you will probably regret it.As far as 2015, I will worry about that in 2015. Who knows what will happen between now & then. I try to live for today! I have no guarantees that tomorrow will get here. Plus, who knows what TPTB have planned? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I also would like to salute all of the folks who have stepped up to help out a Brother in need. After all that has been said, it restores my faith in the folks on this sight. It is a beautiful thing indeed. Rock on.

This one is essential dead, would love to order this one show from this box, but can't seem to find the order page for this one show, any help?The only reason that I am even considering this show is due to the 24 track recording, this will sound wonderful. I really wish they would have put all the Branford shows in one box set, now that would have been really cool. spacebrother, you must have great karma to get everyone on this site to buy you this box set, or perhaps the squeakiest wheel gets the most grease. Ebay sellers will not jump on this one like the first one I don't think, but if they do I hope they are kind and not greedy. As for me, I have all these shows on soundboard and they sound great, this is just too much for me to spend on these shows. After the Europe 72 ripoff, I just have a real problem buying big box sets put out by rhino, they don't care about the average deadhead. (when these shows actually happened, I was broke and poor and couldn't even think about going) That all being said, if anyone has any extra cash that they don't want, you can send it to me so I can get this set too, ok? LOL

Some have noted that next year being the GD's anniversary then something special should be released. Two questions: 1, What do you want it to be? 2. What do you think this next box would most likely actually be?

I think it should be live. I think it should be previously unreleased. I think it should be Grateful Dead. Why do I personally think something special will released for 50th? Well lets see for starters you got a guy like Dave Lemieux at the helm who does a stellar job with the releases. A fan. A Deadhead. A guy that likes to get stuff out to the people. Can I stop here? Does this need explaining?

Woke up this morning and listened to the entire 5-15-77 show from last year's box. I think this one may be edging out 5/17 as my favorite. Some amazing playing goin' on for sure. As for rdevil's request, it's really easy. Close your eyes and pick one. The Amsterdam show is off the hook and I personally find 5/13 from Lille, France to have some extraordinary, over-the-top jamming. Why I never see it mentioned and raved about is beyond me. Definitely the unsung hero of the tour. For those of you who skip this show in favor of the "big guns", go back and have your mind blown! And finally, if someone organizes this Spacebro fund, please post the details and I'll pledge a Jackson also. His bitchin', though irritating, also makes for some interesting conjecture here, and for that, I'd say he's earned it. P.S. - What up Pfox! Good to see you back! I've missed your arrogant rants!

Spacebro has been here since the beginning. I have read his opinions in the past and applaud his passion, and at times taken point with some of his statements. I have traded with him back in the day (opinions and shows ;o}), and now that a brother is in a position of need, the community rallies. Even in spite of differences. Where else does that happen?Love it. I was in a similar spot with the 77 box, which includes my wife's first show in Minnesota. While I didn't pull the trigger and have regrets, this outpouring of compassion quells any of that. Despite our varied and vast opinionated ramblings, this is what deadheads are about. Hey, you all 'miracled' this for Spacebrother! Is there a better feeling that getting someone to the show? Tremendous. (Where do I sign up to get into this?) The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

The Box Sets I dream about for next year:5/4-5/9/77 (5 shows) or 10/21-11/1/73 (6 shows) or any variation within these two. Third place would be a 3 show Winterland Box- Either February of '74 or March of '77. I'll also happily contribute to Spacebro's Miracle Box, please someone PM me with details.

I posted this a few days ago, but (for obvious reasons) 'tis now more important than ever for collectors/completists: According to Dead.net's shopping cart bounce messages, fewer than 40 copies of Terrapin Limited remain. Super-hot show. Don't wait for the scalp!

It's in the realm of possibility that the next Dave's Picks release is one of the shows of which a song was featured on the 2013 30 Days of Dead. Just a hunch folks. The 2012 30 Days of Dead had one track from the May 1977 Box on it. No tracks from 2013 30 Days of Dead were on DaP9, DaP10, or Spring 1990 Too. I'm thinking the answer to DaP11 or DaP12 is in there.

i'm sorry your parents were unable to give you a better life than the one they had. you people call me a troll for voicing opinions you don't like, but the reality is even when i'm not involved in the conversation you bash me in an attempt to get a response. this thread isn't the first time. contrary to popular belief i'm not bothered by what some stranger on the internet thinks of me, and you know nothing of my financial situation. i don't need to go search for another band, because i'm in it for the music. i didn't gravitate to the grateful dead, because i needed an identity or camaraderie. with that said, its sort of hard to justify getting this box set at the heavy price they are asking, especially when i have more than 100 GD albums already, and there are so many other albums on my wish-list. i've drastically cut down on music purchases over the past few years, and i already get the DP subscription, so even though its a brent era release i have yet to make up my mind.

Excited to dig into this come September! The legendary first spark b/n Garcia and Marsalis is one I have been looking forward to for a decade. I might have even neglected choosing it as the 'next show to digest' because I was waiting for the pristine cut. This is the cut. One song per day on the mix? Nice! What really makes these choice of shows interesting (for me) is the repetition of songs Crazy Fingers, Estimated, Truckin that make this feel more like a Jazz box. ex: Milestones, Round Midnight, Walkin 3X on a 6-disc. Love to compare these over the weeks performed. Nice choice of shows! The art looks as deep and talented as the previous edition. Although I had to miss that one, I am happy to pick up this round. 3/18, 21, and 29 for the most will be brand new to me. 3/28 may be my vote for 'funnest' of the run. Nice!

I would be surprised if we didn't see something like a 5/7-5/9/77 box, or at least 5/8/77 as a general release along the lines of Sunshine Daydream. They would make so much money on that one they'd have to be crazy not to. As for '73, I'll surely take anything from the under-represented "Honey" year, but I'm really wishing for 6/10 RFK and 6/22 PNE. Throw in one more show and make a June 73 box? I can dream, anyway.

Love the artwork Star Dark. Still believe the answer is in 2013 30 Days of Dead. I'm leaning heavy on Texas 1971 for some strange reason. Or Spring 1970. You know what would have made a killer bonus disc? 5/6/70 Kresge Plaza, MIT. One of my all time favorite tapes. Plenty of energy despite the cold.

Ground control to Spacebrother..............where you be dude? Deadheads disagreeing reminds of the Riped off fan scene in the GDMovie! I wonder were those cats landed? The blond guy, John Williams?, looked pretty well on the way to a California lifestyle I always thought. In FLA it's hotter than Hades, so the stereo is jamming with SSDD, Dicks 29 and some sweet 72 off DP 23. Charting a course for 1990 and plan to descend with Daves 8 in Hotlanta. Gotta find that blender and make up some frozen bevvies and cocoon by the pool for sunset time. Hoping the Bro isn't lost in Saturns rings or other strangeness................

... 9/14/82 to face off in the Deadocrat presidential primary... Note to anyone "dissing" (hate that word) the July '89 stretch: At the time of those shows, the Alpine Valley trio - particularly 7/17 - was widely considered the best of an otherwise very good period. Then the Warlocks thing (inferior but for the breakouts) happened, and that was all anyone could talk about.

Can someone who is tallying up the finances for Space Brother let us know how the funds are doing? Have we covered the cost yet, or do we still need more donations? I can't afford the box myself, but I can afford throwing in a 20. Luke

Ug. I can stand and appreciate Space Brother at his worst. But I do wish we could vote Patagonia off the island, if only because his CV is simply too impressive. Exclusionary practices normally suck, but, well, sometimes...

i understand i'm not liked by most people on this board, but if you can be honest with yourselves for 1 minute you'd realize i'm often goaded into a fight. you say you're tired of the drama, but the facts don't support your claim. SPACEBROTHER you'd be a fool to take these people's money. they're getting more out of it than you.

everyone here is getting more by giving than Spacebro is receiving. That is the delight, in giving the gift. The benefits of sharing has been what inspired the whole Dead taper community as well as the Deadheads as a group. "Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."

Just me being a midwestern boy! I love all of the DEAD! But a great show in my opinion, That I think is overlooked is the 4-11-87 show at the U.I.C. Pavillion in Chicago. Sorry all of you 80 HATERS!

Random Dead. How about the Good Lovin' with drums from Princeton 1971 featured on GDHour 793! I'm not overly keen on drums alone but when it is good it's Grate! Listen to this one folks. Wow! Hope the rest of this show is as hot and in consideration for release some day. Also FW69 bonus disc. The Caution?

I'm not an 80's hater, I'm more of a 70's lover. Also, I think the mullet was a great hair style, and I wish more people would follow your example and try to bring it back into vogue.

It's been a therapeutic 48+ hours! After being introduced to a GD saturation point that I didn't expect even existed (e-cubed!), I found myself needing a fix - particularly of the mid-to-late '73 vintage I'd hoped for with this announcement. So, I checked out Bear's Boarding House recordings of O&ITW, which had dropped about $10 since release, quickly ordered Thurs. A.M., and received it today in time to put on the Ipod for a couple mid-day hours spent running trails in the national park (I love living in proximity to an Amazon distro center!). I only own 1 of the original 3 individual releases of those performances, so the net gain of remastered and complete shows was tremendous...for those on the sidelines of part deux here, but still desirous of a new infusion to the collection, I encourage you to check this one out!/kate
