Dead-A-Day: On This Day in GD-Land

[DeadDuck]

We'd be remiss to recognize this show today. 7/9/95 Soldier Field, Chicago.

This is a personal favorite of mine for the implications behind it a month later. In particular, Jer mumbles the NY to SF lyric to get to "All I want is one to take me home." I literally just got chills writing that.



Edit to add: I've long heard detractors of the shows in the 90s. I get why. I do. However, there was a crispness to Jer's guitar during those years in the ballads like So Many Roads, Stella Blue, and SOTM that cut through the silent air unlike any sound he ever made. The depth he brought in those years, because of the health and stress that people cite when talking poorly about 90s shows, added an entirely different dimension to the music.

When I think of best DeadCo shows, 7/9/16 at Alpine is definitely in the top 5. One of the best performances of Hard Rain, for sure.

Nice little nugget from 20 years ago today at Alpine: 7/11/98 The Other Ones! Dark Star opens the set, the band finishes it up later with the Stephen 11 Lovelight to close! Who remembers this? Anyone? Bueller?

Hey now! 7/12-13/89 at RFK is on tap today. I wish they had released the video along with this........

I thought surely someone would post this before me, but happy Friday the 13th! 34 years ago today, the Dark Star returned.........7/13/84 at the Greek!

A full moon Friday the 13th with a well timed shooting star, my only Greek Theater show.

An hour early but this gem from Foxboro is stellar, one of the finest shows of an epic tour . 2nd set Eyes>Estimated is sublime

I assume 1990?
I was there

Me too, “slept” on the ground next to my car that night,

Good Times
