    Dark Star > El Paso

    8/21/72: Very clearly Jerry starts Morning Dew, but others indicate other ideas
    8/27/72: Jerry tries again for Morning Dew, but El Paso it is

    As I think deep thoughts about this, if they HAD done MD on 8/27, we might not have gotten the glorious Sing Me Back Home

    Whatevs, I suppose. It was one afternoon (and evening) _long ago_, after all

    I have the house to myself this weekend, so if you hear GD playing from afar, that's me.

    happy happy joy joy

    Dark Star - El Paso

    I notice they made the same transition a few days earlier, on the 21st at Berkeley. Maybe it worked really well then, and Bob Weir had decided in advance that they would do the same thing on 27th. It looks a bit pre-meditated. For me it's the only false note of the whole show - but for others it might be a stroke of genius.

    I might check out that Berkeley show later on. Worse things to do on a Friday night.

    Especially since you can hear Jerry flirting with the opening chords for Morning Dew just before Bobby takes the reigns and steers the ship towards the West Texas town of El Paso.

    But hey.. if every Dark Star melted into a gorgeous Morning Dew, they wouldn't be so special. I'll take what we have and am a bit thankful it wasn't me making the calls. They clearly did a better job than I ever could.

    Happy Labor Day to those in the US.. for those abroad there's no harm in giving thanks and taking a breather for all those who move the world and make it shake. From another angle this marks the end of summer, the days are getting shorter and fall is coming. Darkness falls and seasons change....

    That's a great film of a Dead show - for me the best one out there. "China Cat-Rider" is the highlight of the film - although I have read that some find it a bit sexist.... with the camera lingering on naked women instead of the band. It doesn't come across that way to me - but then I ain't a woman.
    "Playing", "Bird Song" and "Dark Star" are also among the best versions ever, I would say. I still don't like the way Dark Star goes into El Paso, though.

    I'll try to remember to sit down and type some notes on that '90 MSG run next week when I'm on vacation.

https://youtu.be/rtKQaYjBxN0 funny thing is, like Neil Diamond and the Grateful Dead, people either love or hate TTB, I haven't seen any middle ground among my friends. one thing you can't argue is that they have fun.....and with 12 touring band members who all get equal pay according to an Interview I saw with Derek in 2011, it clearly is not a money grab.
