    Dark Star > El Paso

    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.

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

    I simply love the entire run

    Things that stay in my memory from my recent listenings are

    9 14 The Weight to open 2nd set

    9 16 Hes Gone > end of show
    9 18 second set
    9 19
    9 20 Drums > end of show

    Its hard to believe they could play so well after losing Brent 46 days earlier, as I went on about a while back

    Ok twist my arm, but not hard lol
    Hey, these floors aren’t gonna clean themselves ; )

    Edit: just finished the fine MSG 90 run, Berry interesting.
    Lots of cool jams, and JG is obviously digging Bruce etc, so the energy is big!
    Perhaps a bit much from so many folks trying to go hard?
    Only criticisms: personally sometimes don’t like so many folks as it gets a bit sonically crowded, think they dialed that in eventually, and hey, under the circumstances it’s understandable here.
    Didn’t always like the mix, especially Vince OCCASIONALLY too loud, but you’d think that’s not his fault…I.e., Dicks from the 16…?

    TN John, noticed you were at these fine shows, would love to hear your thoughts and/or any good stories! Do you have a fave?

    And PF, thoughts/Fav?
