Subject: Just a Little..
Subject: Just a Little..
Don't know how long it has been available
but the GD filmed this show just like the RFK show.
And as I recall watching the video screens
for this show was at times more fun then the sound quality.
While there is nothing in the first set list
that clamors for my immediate attention
the entire set is well played
and this is a good representation of a band
that worked together to find the sound.
Overall the band is in a groove
that only lots of shows in a row,
tour upon tour
can create.
Do they sound tired?
Yeah, we all were,
like an endless hangover!
But here is the deal
they ROCKED MY SOUL.
I often think about was it worth all the time and effort
and when I listen to the band jam
I have to say
YES, it most certainly was!
Some 1st set highlights
Just watching/listening to the band play their standard rotation tunes is just fine with me.
I noticed Garcia playing slide on Walking Blues
Phil stepping up to the mic on Just a Little Light.
Pretty sure that Garcia was using a flute MIDI during Bird Song.
There is NOT much in the 1st set to hint at Brent's coming demise
but I distinctly remember night 3 during Truckin>Smokestack
that Brent's eyes were blazin'
Sure miss Mydland in hindsight his loss
sealed the original band's fate.
Even though they were able to regroup
especially with Hornsby!!!
when Garcia passed it was like the expression
the other shoe dropped.
To my ear the band was jellying
right up to the very last night at Tinley Park.
Maybe they were almost back to pre-coma 86 territory.
The band had obligations and people who counted on them
so they pressed on even after Brent.
I give them credit that the GD
were able to recreate themselves so quickly.
but putting the entire weight of the band
back on Garcia's shoulders well that lasted just five more years.
I am hopeful that all three nights at Tinley
are on Video and available
because it wasn't often that I got the sight and sound of the band
just exactly right, (even with going to a bunch of shows.)
But not meaning to slight the recording at hand
which I am actually going to listen to Set 2 with
because although it is great to see what was going down
first and foremost
I am an audiophile
and I like nothing better than to listen to a great recording
of my favorite band
.I am in the right place -Yes?
Set Two opener Scarlet Begonias-Yes!
Thanks Charlie Miller and friends..
Set 2
Scarlet> Fire
Playing
There is much jamming in these three tunes>
He's Gone-Brings us back down to earth
This song came along way from its Europe 72 roots.
Some Phil rumblings
and a sweet hand-off to the drummers
I love when Mickey would pound those big drums.
(Billy drums the entire show except for a short break in Space)
Space = 'ode to Ned'
Mickey does the Beam while Garcia stretches some minds upon his return with the front men
[As you might be able to tell I am still transfixed by the video).
Great jam here out of Space
On a good night I could dance the whole evening
especially during a freight train Second Set.
Oh killer MIRACLE intro- Jerry & the Phil Zone
"Believe me , o yeah"
Render Bobby Render!!!
Always loved Jerry's backing vocals towards the coda
"I Need a Miracle, Everyday!"
Really sweet placement of Crazy Fingers
No one is going to equal the 1975 versions
but how cool was it to hear Garcia croon his song.
The odd thing about this song
is it is some kind of psychedelic country & western number.
This is one of those it is all about the timing
Phil is all in and sounds great
There is a vulnerability in FINGERS
something Hunter/ Garcia explored regularly
jam potential out of this is unlimited
they could take this wherever they pleased
they reach for PLAYIN' then straight into FANTASY.
Brent Mydland-Grateful Dead 1979-1990
Garcia wails a solo on DMF.
Jerry reminds me a little of a sedate ANGUS in those shorts.
He really sings the vocals with Brent
Nice slashing organ from Mydland
No Hey Jude this night they harmonize later on Quinn
back for the PLAYIN' let's see if they REPRISE
Oh yeah, old reliable PITB
No Garcia last ballad of the evening.
OMSN-anywhere but the encore.
Hey, even as the encore was cool but very predictable..
Did Weir just say "Come on George"?
Oh, yeah Prez Bush, that's right
There were some slight cuts in the video.
that only a HEAD will notice
because they cut the flow.
PHIL picked up steam as the night went on.
great post drumz setlist
Miracle>Crazy Fingers>Playin' jam>Mr. Fantasy
>Playin>OMSN
Good that they freed up the encore slot
E) Quinn-always a good encore
Pretty hard not to leave in a good mood with that song.

Subject: I have to counter a review on another recording of this show ...
... that called Birdsong "almost atrocious." WTF are you talking about, dude? It was spacey, cosmic, loose, freeform jamming. OK, it's all right if you prefer a 6 minute, fast, concise, Birdsong like they were playing in 1981 in the middle of the first set, but I like my jamming, and re-listening, I was carried away yet again by this incredible jam, with every musician contributing to the ebb and flow of the whole. And this show has plenty more where that came from.
I remember riding a bus out to the venue from Chicago run by one of those Dead tour bus line operators. We got stuck in traffic and arrived a little late. On arrival, I found that I had only missed A Touch of Gray and Greatest Story! Man, was I psyched! Not only had no big songs gone down early, but Touch was no longer there to haunt me (it had followed my last two Scarlets). They seemed pretty well focused the rest of the set, although JALL was taken a bit slow.
Sure enough, they opened the second set with Scarlet, and I knew what was coming. An outstanding Scarlet and jam led to a Fire that on re-listening, sounds hotter than I remember. It was only the 2nd rendition of the duo I would ever hear live, and not quite as hot as the first, 3/5/81, which is the standard by which I judge all Mydland/Welnick-era Scarlet>Fires (there's nothing quite like 5/8/77).
Playin' follows, and has a nice jam and an unusual transition, quite fun to listen to, until you realize you're stuck listening to His Yawn. Oh, well. Miracle after Space was what I least wanted to hear, but the rest of the show was quite solid, including a tease of Playin' Reprise before they finally laid it on us. None of us knew it would be the final Dear Mr. Fantasy.
Nothing earth-shaking like the 7/12/90 Dark Star, but a very solid show on an excellent tour, and jammier than anything I'd heard since, well, maybe ever. A solid 4 stars, maybe 4.2.

Doug the dude! Apparently only njpg doesn't see it (although some threes and fours in the other audio streams in the archive, too). Anyway, I'm with you and the rest of the gang, here, this is an excellent show. Su90 find the band hot off of the absolutely stellar sp90 run, perhaps their best tour in a decade. No question, they are dialed in for every moment of this show and in true peak form. Excellent 15+ minute Bird Song set one closer. Then awesome Scarlet-Fire set two opener, followed by huge Playing sandwich with a really neat He's Gone exit jam (Phil prominent in the mix on lead bass) and an excellent post-space Miracle->Crazy Fingers. Not to mention, there's a Mr. Fantasy in there and a Mighty Quinn encore.
Final Little Light and Mr. Fantasy.

Another gem from Walker-Scotton-Miller, thanks to all involved in getting these out to us..
Spring - Summer 1990 are some of my favorite GD shows, they were just on fire during this era of the GD.
While the Tinley Park shows are often overlooked, and seem to be regarded more as a "Brents lat show" vibe they are equally as hot as other nights on this tour.

Charlie Millers mix once again might even supersede the quality of the actual playing. But not by much, as I would call this an on night of a strong tour. Along with 7.12 (best of July by far) and 7.18, this show is one of the best of the July tour.
This show fed on similar energy and creativity as the spring and earlier summer shows did imho. Playin' wrap around, a stellar soulful post He's Gone jam. The Dear Mr. Fantasy in particular might be one of the best, along with 1989.7.2.
Mix is way even, Phil and Bobby are as audible as Jerry and Brent. Wow! Show is almost three hours long and rarely lets up.
4 for playing
5 for mix
solid 5 for a great CM remaster.
Sad that Brent went after these shows. You can really hear them continuing on the creative peak of really since 1987.

This show as the birth of my "long strange trip". Loved every minute of it and I never looked back.
If I only knew then what I know now...I'd know about the same as I know now or maybe a little more or maybe a little less.
Looking back though, I can 't believe what a first show I was treated to. Embarrassed to say I had to sneak in after buying a bum ticket in the lot (but I learned my lesson). The venue was a concrete outhouse but the boys played their guts out. The setlist says it all. Thank you Charlie Miller...I don't know you but I love you.

Grate performance. Grate C Miller remaster. Perfect sounding to my ears. I always have a hard time understanding Charlie remasters that have no reviews.
