building of "Built To Last" 1988
Wowza! I was hoping this show would be jam of the week or something like that. I've been mining this era thinking it would make a great Dave's Pick some future release. This second set starter in particular, with the band giving the show goers a dose of some new prototype raw material that would end up on the 1989 album. Beauty of it is that there is not just a Jerry song and a Bobby song but that killer Brent tune about his divorce. Real heart strings stuff. It's ironic, as a kid I often skipped over Brent's songs. Now as an adult almost 50 trips around I cherish the Brent tunes most. Anyways thanks Dave and all at Dead.net!
