Was anyone ever disappointed to hear the opening notes? I saw a few, some better than others. They became far and few between with Jerry adding SOTM and Days Between in that slot. What you got?

7.64 average.
Lame out.
'82-'95, over 150 shows, only saw it 12 times.
I think the best I saw were the Crap Centre in '87 (thanks Krab, perfect),
and Oxford Maine in '88.
I think the one at Shoreline in 1993 was good also.
Never a Morning Dew at Red Rocks.......
My favorite "late-era" Dew is 6-14-85 at the Greek. Starting the second set with that was pretty balls out.
I was one show short of see them do that in Hollywood, Fla, also in '85. I went to the next show in Tampa
where they did a space->Comes A Time, which was sick; listen to this show on archive if you haven't.

Deadbase lists 253 performances, assuming 2,300 shows (a low ball estimate) that works out to 11%.
115 of those were performed before 1975, so it was played less often the last 20 years.

i think i'm at around 12.5%, but i'd need to do an accurate show count & dbl check # of Dews.
if you get in during drumz (it's happened to me twice), does that really count as seeing that show? i don't believe so, i think you'd at least have to have seen the whole 2nd set.
i used to have (still might) a sketchbook where i kept set lists of the shows i'd seen, and i might have counted up totals for each song.
don't laugh. i had a lot of spare time and am some what obsessed with stats.

A stellar audience recording
A few noteworthy (early) digital audience recordings -- the most accurate technology to capture Phil bombs back then. (The 88 show using the Neumann U89 s sounds pretty good, too.)
The portable PCM unit was relatively large and it fed into a portable VCR -- both needed lots of juice which required several heavy batteries. Then there was the cables and VHS or Beta tape (depending on the unit). And mic stand and mics, etc... Lots of stuff to schlep in.

At MSG, some goombah in a King Kong extra large tie dye would inevitably scream out "JERRY!" during the quietest moments of Dew. I remember this more than the playing.
