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

[patchthenation]

I've posted the whole show previously in this thread, however I just relistened to 9/18/90 Promised Land from MSG, and that performance is a barn burner! Everyone is in a frenzy at the end, Jerry wildly fanning. Boys were gellin on Bruce's third show with the band!

More MSG! 9/20/88 was Grate for Mr. Miller:

I can't believe it's been 10 years since this amazing run of shows at Red Rocks. I had such a good time at these and such a great view, thanks to strangerinboulder's running for seats while us flatlanders staggered up the stairs in the altitude!!

Got a nice one from 9/22/88 at MSG, featuring Jerry in fine form on Shakedown and tape warble at the beginning of Minglewood. 22-beat BIODTL. The set is so much fun, Jerry throws the two slower songs in to cool things off for a sec. To Lay Me Down always puts a smile on my face.




Another bright spot in late-era Dead is their stop at MSG on 9/22/93, with David Murray on sax and James Cotton on harmonica (Lovelight/IFTL).






Finally, some Furthur in Vegas 9/22/10. Love this setlist too! Who here on TN attended?

Ten years ago today was the closer of the 4 show run by Furthur at Red Rocks. This was the night that Branford Marsalis joined in for the second set and gave me one of my most incredible musical experiences EVER. I still get misty goosebumps thinking about him coming on stage as Jeff P and Sunshine grin and Bobby says "Security, please!!"

11 years since the legendary "Steal Your Face" Furthur Show at Red Rocks:

Another Grate late-era show, 9/26/93 at the Boston Garden. Definitely release-worthy, and I agree that SOTM is one of the best!

I: Jack Straw, Althea, Walkin' Blues, High Time, Me & My Uncle > Maggie's Farm, Lazy River Road, Easy Answers > Don't Ease Me In
II: Iko Iko, Saint of Circumstance, Ship of Fools > Truckin' > Drums > Space > I Need A Miracle > Standing on the Moon
E: Rain

Arguably one of the Dead’s best covers in the later era, here’s rehearsal of Valley Road (and Stander on the Mountain, both by Bruce) about a month before they played it live, from Front St 9/28/90. They run through Saint as well, with some good banter throughout. When asked if they should run through Stander again, Bruce says “let’s not beat it up, fuck that” and starts VR. Cool banter the last 2 minutes as well.
