[Donbean]

Hey Leith...
 Sorry Im not a big fan of the Vince years... I cant help it.. Maybee I was too old for rock and roll after Brent was gone  I am a veteran of many a tour

Uh huh. No i understand ALOT of people don\'t like Vince era GD and to tell the truth the few Dead shows I caught w/ the \'03 Line-up matched most of the GD shows I saw in \'94/\'95. For me I LOVE \'85-\'89 as I basically lived on tour . The reason I love \'90\'s GD is mainly the touring I did w/ what I consider my family now. But you can\'t beat 5/31/92 W/ Steve Miller actually keeping up w/ and pushing Jerry. Phil fighting the ENTIRE band to go into the Other One from Spoonful lol.
 Oh and on 8/16/91 The ONE and ONLY Scarlet>Victim>Fire>Truckin\' second set.

3/29/90 BEST DEAD SHOW EVER!!! Thats all you need to know....

[boombox]

Gotta agree with 68/69, though I know much has been made of the May 8th 1977 Barton Hall show as being a must have show. It is great, but give me Pigpen era dead any time.

And yes, another vote for not bothering with anything post-Brent!!

[Overexjoesure]

Dude you need 3/29/90

[leith]

Branford and the Dead melded so perfectly that night. If you do not believe in telepathy how the hell do explain this night?

[Overexjoesure]

i know brah... i\'m glad someone else knows the magik!!

[leith]

Actually Joe. When it comes to GD I\'m kinda diiferent than most. I really cannot say that any of their output is bad. I mean yes some of their later years were not up to the Legacy they had built but that just goes to show how FUCKIN\' awesome they were!!
 I ate acid for the 1st time @ my 1st GD show so I\'m totally biased when it comes to GD discussions. I will listen to any show by those guys @ any time.

[Overexjoesure]

I agree, they have the unspeakable energy.  It\'s hard to go wrong with any show, but that 90 show is out of this world. I first heard the Eyes from it when i was 4 and I\'ve never been the same since...

[leith]

For sure. It is one show that no matter what ALWAYS satisfies.

[jason-a]

Ya leith, bruce breathed lots of new life into jerry, lets not forget the great 5-8-77 show cornell everyone has that, phil with the great bass lines,
also that branford show 9-10-91, that is a classic.
you said 74?? how about 10-20-74 three sets,
 maples 2-9-73, I think was that the first wall of sound show?
geez I could go on and on any other years? you might want a suggestion. It depends on what you like, I love the drums and even play them,but I also love 72 , 73 dead when there was only one drummer billy is great they had a little more sense of tightness.

[leith]

Billy K. is a rock! His drumming in the years when Mickey was not there absolutely incredible!! The Dead never sounded tighter for sure. They even had trouble readjusting to Mickey coming back.lol
