Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have Grateful Dead music from 1985, 1990, and 1992.
Our first stop this week is on 11/8/85 in Rochester, the Dead’s final performance at the War Memorial, where we have the end of the show: Space > The Other One > I Need A Miracle > She Belongs To Me > Sugar Magnolia, Satisfaction. This was a second set that featured songs by the Beatles (the Dead had opened the set with Revolution), Dylan, and the Stones.
Next is the end of the show from 6/8/90 at Cal Expo, where we have The Wheel> I Need A Miracle> Black Peter> Sugar Magnolia, US Blues.
Lastly this week is the start of the second set from 6/12/92 in Albany, where the Dead played Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain ; Way To Go Home ; Truckin' > Smokestack Lightning.
