Grateful Dead

... '95, well...

at the spectrum (3/17 & 3/18)
we got our 1st glimpse of
mr garcia and the teleprompters
which we promtly scuffed at
but then it was brought to
our attention that
mr jagger had used
one as well on
the stones tour

after "visions"
we all agreed
use it!

but as you can hear
confusion and lose
of concentration
plagues '95

today moving right into
march 9th 1992
@ cap center landover

rigth now it's 12/9/81 for no particular reason, I don't normally go for stuff out of season

am thinking about Springfield 3/28/73

the higher my stress level, the more erratic my listening gets, lol

Yummy

We are watching SNL on demand

Modern music sucks to my old ears

Oy.

I'll stick to my old stuff

It’s the anniversary.

I like the MSG Box.

Followed by Bill Evans Box: Everybody Still Digs Bill Evans

Usually wait until I’m finished with the tour to compare, but since y’all been having a nice convo…
Knew nothing of early 95 going in. Hadn’t even hit the Boxilla show.
Have heard plenty of negative hype, but one thing I’ve learned chasing all these shows is usually, nothing is as good or bad as the hype declares…
So mostly, been pleasantly surprised, until Omni shows, where unfortunately the weird, glitch like inconsistency’s have started to be a regular phenomenon.
We only saw the cool Pittsburgh “rain” show, and the last 2 in chi town.
Same phenomenon, only more pronounced and often, but same reactive feelings: WTF? Like how could he do a pretty fine job here on the 30 of Visions, then be so bad on LSD? Just one example, but with no viewing, listening only, it’s so weird, one minute he’s fully there, five minutes later he’s not, sad….still breaks my heart : (
But besides a couple good vocal flubs during one of the Oakland or Philly shows, (sorry, forgot to note them?) not much out of the ordinary percentage wise, as far as blunders. On the other hand, been lots of well played and even big moments on the tour so far. The first Salt Lakes were decent, followed by a very enjoyable show that David used for Boxilla, including a nice Visions of Johanna, first one since the two in 86. By some weird cosmic swirl we were fortunate to have witnessed the first on 3/19/86 and the last one on 7/8/9.
But lots of other highlights, and overall I’d say good batting average.
Standouts so far, have been 2/21, 3/18, and the very fine outing on 3/23!
Also enjoyed were the first nights from Oakland, Philly, and Charlotte. The rest, decent, but…
But by Atlanta, things have clearly changed. Again, not as horrible or phenomenal as some reviews out there, but the WTF? to well played ratio is most definitely going south…I could list more examples of both, but I think ya get the drift, and folks need to listen and form their own thoughts…
Promising to hear there’s still some positive vibes to be had, (thanks for recommendations guys) so, if I don’t get JD 🤞mañana, we’ll be off to the Mid!
Onward!

5 26 95

Check it out

This run has some nice moments. The Alabama to open 3/19 has a pretty fired up Garcia, he even throws in a Alabama!!!! after one of the verses

From what i've heard of these shows I agree, pretty solid

I was there, and got an Unbroken Chain.
Also got a Take Me To The River, as we were on the banks of the Mississippi.

Jerry throws in an extra “but I try” on Crazy Fingers.

I’ve listened to the recordings many times. Probably biased because I was there, but I think that they are good shows for the era.
