    10/17/90

    the 13 was definitely off from the years previous shows, but I didn’t find it as bad as some have stated. I think DM in his GD bio said it was the worse show he saw? I’m betting set and setting had some influence. I know shows that at the time I thought in the experiential context were no bueno, years later, removed from the set and setting, and ensconced in the luxuries of home, I have not found any shows as bad, or sometimes as good as thought BITD…
    Maybe that’s just me?

    You can hear the 17 sounds more status quo of this fine year than the 13 fo sho…

    WTH, why wait…

    Cue War: “take a little trip…”

    So onto Europe 90
    Dug the fall tour so much, and with PFs enthusiastic enjoyment, figure I need to just Do It! So here we go, 10/13/90 it is…

    Edit: Utica! Yeah Uncle it was a very small venue…front row Jerry for the rocking 3/13/81 show. Wish I remember more, but being young and dumb (some things never change, ahem) I bought a big bottle of 7/7 thinking all the heads could “stay warm” outside for the long GA wait to get in.
    Well, lesson learned: cold tripping DH don’t normally drink much, at least before a show…well being in top Olympic form and 7/7 being the go go juice of choice for the band and road crew I was on, I just eventually quaffed her down mostly myself, which would have been fine if we didn’t later smoke sooooo many joints waiting on the floor….
    All I’m gonna say bout that is seek Fat Freddie’s wisdom on that lol
    But hey, I never left the front rail and ended up having a good show, and learned a valuable lesson that all 18 year olds should know lol
    One and only show I ever got that kind of too wasted…
    Good show if you’ve never checked it!

    Dbl Edit: once again PF has me laughing: imagining him in middle of the teachers lounge correcting student gibberish, edibles, with cans on, cranking heavy metal or some atonal Dark Star while his unsuspecting cohort blather on about nothing LOL!
    A true warrior!
    Onward Brother!

    Not Fade Away--from 'The Closing of Winterland' CD box set.

    Grate version of an overlooked song is suppose. Randomly picked it!... This version of Not Fade Away is different from many others, IMO. Harmonica for one, is not that common.

    Snow Day??!!

    Lucky you! That system missed us here in the high desert.

    Didn't know about that December show with Branford. Will have to check it out. Tried one of the McNichols shows but had a hard time getting past the audience pulls - they all seemed very distant.

    Right now listening to Phil Lesh and Friends - Highlights Vol. 1 - And Love Will See You Through.

    SNOWDAY!!!

    didn’t get a good listen yesterday to 12/16/94 but heard enough to fire up the second set again! Cool Branford gig!

    Now onto 12/18…
    Another nice second set!
    And 12/19 was nice too. LA was a nice little run!

    Edit: Yeah BC, I know you dig some 94, so check out the first night of Denver, I know the Auds not great, but it’s not too bad and the show I felt was worth it…especially the PITB jam etc…
    And definitely check out 12/16 with Brandford!

    I’ve now hit every 94 from 6/8 onward. Didn’t mean too. Started just wanting to check out summer tour and my 30th anniversary shows, but enjoyed them so much I kept going. Really dug the fall tour!

    Prolly freak freely, or hit 52 and some other 83 mañana, then onto E90!
    Onward!

    Dbl Edit: 10/19/73…sigh, don’t know what it is about THAT one lol
    So majestic.
    Ain’t it crazy how much a little DAC can do!

Just received my Dave's Picks Vol. 21!What a great show/recording!1973-That was the year of my very first Dead show in Buffalo,New York!For fellow New York State'ers,some may remember that was the year of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's new get tough anti drug laws going into effect...of which "Don't get caught holding the bag!''was the slogan on all the commercials!Anyway,me and a buddy hitchhiked from Niagara Falls to Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium to see the Dead when, walking through the parking lot we were searched and busted with weed!The cops took our weed and then let us go with a warning-that almost blew the evening for us but fortunately the Dead and the wall of sound made us forget about the cops by the second song!(at least I think it was a wall of sound show-I know I saw it!)It was billed as two two hour sets-which it was probably more!Vol 21 is pretty much the same set list as that October show as I remember it.(without checking).Great memories of a life changing time in my life-I was 16 years old then and I turn 60 in April!I probably have heard some Dead or JGB almost every day since then!
