    9/16/90...

    ...sad to say that I was done with the crowds and extraneous BS after Oxford 7/3/88.
    After learning of Brent's passing while vacationing in Acadia & Bar Harbor, Maine, the decision was made to see the Fat Man as much as possible moving forward before it was too late.
    My 1st show back to see the "new" GD was 9/16 @ MSG and so thankful.
    Crowd reactions were great, and Hornsby's grand facing Garcia allowed them to easily exchange smiles...and while things are always in perpetual motion...at the time we were all SO happy to be able to experience
    the GOGD, no matter what iteration the band happened to be in.

    Peace for All!

    Decided to join in.

    European tour was already booked. At World Music Theater they were passing out flyers for Europe travel packages. Then Brent departed.
    Had to fill the position quick, but Bruce refused to become the permanent replacement.
    The Tubes were done, and Vince tried out for the job……

    Zappa: You Can't Do That Onstage Anymore, Vol 2

    I run hot on cold when it comes to Frank, whose "humor" I often find obnoxious. But man, the band on this gig? Unbelievable.

    And some of jokes are actually funny!

    Good, but maybe a step off the previous few?

    Excellent show

    I was a little "ugh-y" at the last two tracks of set 2 (can you guess which two I am refering to?) but I accepted and moved on quickly

    Onward to 9/16/90

I am listening to Dick's Picks Vol. 29 which contains 5/19/77. As a big fan of the Spring '77 Tour, the fact that Get Shown The Light was released, and that this year honors 40 years of '77 Dead despite what seasonal tour it is, I have been listening to the show of the given day back in 1977 if I can. So today, it's 5/19/17 so therefore I am choosing to enjoy 5/19/77 again, its a great show, however I like 5/21/77 more (also contained in Dick's Picks Vol. 29), but love 5/22/77 (Dick's Picks Vol. 3) in regards to the next upcoming dates. 5/25/77 is okay, despite the highly priced collector's value of it (Dave's Picks Vol. 1) it is not as magical compared to the other 3 dates I just mentioned. To each their own! I have listened to these shows, and so many more, countless times and still love them all. Have fun and enjoy. Happy 40 years worth of 1977 Dead and here's to another 40 more!
