Too bad that Hall & Oates did "Every Time You Go Away" during their sit-in at the 1988 Rain Forest Action Network Benefit at MSG. A "She's Gone">"He's Gone" would've been epic.
at the end of that song in the later era I wasn't a fan of when Jerry would scat to what he was playing. Dave Gilmour tried this too. I'm not sure what drugs made them decide that's what their fans would enjoy
First, Scott, that's twice in this thread you seem to have referred to a '73 show as an '80s or '90s "jam".
IMO it's not fair to compare much of anything from the '80s or certainly the '90s with '73.
And what the hell, since this thread is back up (and why not, He's Gone is one of the great Grateful Dead songs) I offer a lovely version from Brent's first show ever, San Jose April of '79.
A scattered but ultimately very fine show, and also one of the best soundboards you'll ever hear.
Pre 90's, especially any that ended in the marching band tune,some with whistle, that went into Truckin.
The slow Jerry stuff was grating after Brent. I'm sure ill get the 'stella '93!!' post but to me we were already witnessing a slow death --- it wasn't something that I wanted expressed out loud.
1973 seems to have been a good year for this song. I've always loved how donna harmonizes so beautifully in this song, and I think this is why I probably lean toward these years for that reason.
It all started with the He's Gone ,The reason for the encore of Going Down the Road was that Sound man Dan Healy had just received word of his father's passing and was heading back to Cal after the show. Dan was in tears on the board as the boys sent him home with this salute. It was also evident in other song choices that nite such as He's Gone, Black Peter https://archive.org/details/gd80-04-28.fob-nak700.non-dank.3402.sbeok.sh... His Fathers Plane Crashed in Garberville ca Airport . The Healy Senior center was partially funded by the G/D in tribute
I finally got my Dave's Picks 36 in the mail yesterday, and the He's Gone from 03/26/87 Hartford is pretty sweet, and the jam out of it gets pretty epic.
I can change my handle to Doc Martin if it will make you happy. But I won't eat Velveeta! That's where I draw the line! Valveeta has always been fish bait.
That Fresno show was a few months after I moved away. It was another 10 yrs (all over the country working in the oil fields) before I saw my first show at Irvine when I was an apprentice electrician.
Well doctor, my younger brother went Friday night and when he came home, he said that I had to go with him the next night. He said it was right up my alley and I needed to be there. I was not familiar with the music, except what we heard on the radio. I was impressed with the scene, my brother was right about that. I thought the music was very good and warranted furthur exploration. My next show was at Anaheim Stadium with Bob Dylan some 4 months later. Ate shrooms and the music blew me away. I did not miss another show in Socal, Nevada or Arizona until almost the very end. I was fortunate to attend some of the last camping shows at Cal Expo( always loved Cal expo) and Long Beach.
I missed out on so much by not staying in Fresno just a few more months. Who knows how things might have changed. Instead I spent 9 yrs as a mudlogger(kind of a wellsite geologist that tracks the drilling onto a log which becomes the record for the well) in the oilfield. Rocky Mtns, Louisiana Gulf coast, and finally back in California from the oilfields in Bakersfield to the gas patches up north. Not a lot of Dead in those circles, so I was never exposed. Until Irvine and my little brother.
So your first show was Irvine 87. I Imagined you were an older Head. That Sunday Easter show was the best and perfectly played. Give it a spin if you care. And not sorry I asked. Like hearing stories of peoples experiences.
#MeToo. It just shreds. Best Ton's i've heard. Alabama>Promised Land is rockin'. I could definitely have this as a desert island show. Great show to turn someone on to the GD.
^ That Smokestack is epic especially that jam into drums!
Did the GD ever say "Take a step back" on the west coast? My guess is no. Could always get up front at general admission shows that I saw. Ventura was easy. Very relaxed vibe. I often wandered to the front and back easily. Same with the Frost and Cal Expo.
