jw harding Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I saw the 2nd to last show, which was dreadful apart from the Visions of Johanna, which Jerry really came alive for. Thank baby Jesus for teleprompters. When he held his hand in the air and hollered the "Mona Lisa must've had the highway blues" line, the entire stadium was knocked on their asses. Stunning. It's on youtube, certainly worth watching. Rest of the show was bad. I cringed when they started Terrapin, my favorite tune. Butchered. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 MB: I'd purchase the 3.18 Philly '95 show if it was released. Killer second set. Love the "All Too Much" and the "Visions" is spectacular: https://archive.org/details/gd95-03-18.sbd.1362.sbeok.shnf Caught RatDog/Avett Bros last night at Red Rocks. They (both) sounded great. Not sure why Karan isn't in the current line up but Kimock does his best work, imo, in RatDog. Not a big fan of his noodling in his own band, Never quite seems to hit peaks, only plateaus.,,,,,, Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./gdead/dead-sets/92/6-28-92.txt This show was pretty good.MORE than pretty good, I'd say! Best Vince-only Era show I saw. Consistent all the way through. Easily one of the better 1st sets of the last 3-4 years. Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 the funny thing about Vince was that sometimes I would watch him and he would have a cig hanging out of his mouth and was playing with one hand and I couldn't hear a bit of keyboards.I used to think to myself "isn't he getting paid shitpile loads of $$$$ for this" and I would remember how Brent was covered in sweat at the end of EVERY show and played and sang his azz off Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Only saw 3 shows that year.....The World, oy. Shoulda went on Europe tour, heard great stories. Forgot, I saw 7/14/90 too. Foxboro. Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I had the $$$ saved for the Europe Tour.At that time the idea of seeing GD in a 2 or 3000 seat venue was SOOO EXCITING! Just the idea of me being down front maybe with my elbows even on the stage at Jerrys feet I could not wait!Then Brent died and I forgot about even going. I did a lot of the next couple of US tours (which Hornsby made good) but for me nothing could touch 89 and 90. I saw some interview with Weir somewhere where he said that when they were great EVERY night. Plus I think Jerry was pretty clean at that point as well. Link to post Share on other sites

The Dark Star, Eleven and TIFTOO features stunning Jerry soloing - amazing. The New Potato is the best I've heard through this date in 1968... Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Anyone else catch the Bremen flick last night? Really good stuff, though with only 2 Jerry tunes and 1 Pigpen tune, it was a big dose of Bob. Gave me a whole new appreciation for One More Saturday Night and, especially, The Other One. Wow. Got up this morning and left for work and realized I had put on a purple polo shirt. Am I becoming...a Bobbyhead? Link to post Share on other sites

Am I becoming...a Bobbyhead? Ha! - I put on my off-blue polo shirt that I had for over 20 years or so on this morning (I call it my Bob Weir Shirt) --- will be catching a Dead tribute show tonight, so I figure I dress the part. I did catch the show last night -- thought it was great -- That Saturday Night was great -- really trying to push the "single". Jerry of course played great, through out. It was great to see Pigpen perform, though it was a bit sad, due to his appearance - hard to believe he was only 26 at the time it was shot. Also it was great to see great footage of Jerry's Alligator guitar - though the actual alligator sticker wasn't put on yet. Man, it sounded great -- just the Strat, wah-wah, and the amp --- simple as it gets. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 That's my favorite Jerry guitar sound - along with the SG era. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I loved Jerry's tone throughout that entire year, so of course I loved everything he did in the movie. I took my wife (for whom all this Dead music is new), and after it was over, I told her, "You might actually hear some of those songs next month when we go to the Ratdog show." She looked less than thrilled. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Last night I heard (for the second time) what might just be the BEST GD tribute band I've ever caught live, and I've seen a lot of 'em. Out of Dallas, TX. Their name is Forgotten Space. Yo, Deadheads - if they come to your area do NOT miss 'em. The guitarist (Kenny) was a founding member of The New Bohemians, and he must have woodshedded like a motherfucker cause he was just KILLING it all night long. I saw some of the very best guitar playing I've seen in a LONG time, by anyone last night. The Rhythm guitarist (Hunter) is no slouch, either - he really knows those odd chords and voicings that Bobby uses. They opened with a monster Shakedown and it was a solid first set. The soloing during Lazy Lightning > Supplication was incredible.Viola Lee 2/3 of the way through set 1 made me pretty damn stoked (if you know me, you know I'm a Viola freak). But set 2 - DAMN. They opened with China > Rider, and it included the '74-style descending chord jam that made '73-'74 China Riders so amazing. It was perfect. After a Sailor > Saint > Deal it got REAL good. They did a VERY intense Stronger Than Dirt that was so spot on I was just left dumbstruck - I was maybe 10 feet or less from Kenny, and that man's fingers were spidering up and down the fretboard like few players I've ever seen. It was that good. Next up was a flawless Unbroken Chain, miles better than any live version The Dead ever played. THEN a complete Weather Report Suite that had Kenny playing the super fast early 80s Jerry licks during the Let It Grow that was simply unbelieveable. I left at 2 AM (had an hour drive in dense fog to get home) and they were still going strong. Missed a '77-style Dancin, and a Music encore. I can't recommend these guys enough. See 'em.

Thanks for the info. This sounds exactly what I think the legacy should be…bands playing tribute to the Dead rather than trying to be the Dead a la DSO. I love the guy from New Bohemians. He's not trying to be Jerry, but has his own clean tone that fits in well with the music. He can also fill the music unlike most of the others. Hope these guys come play down south sometime soon!
