Subject: Dead Feat
This show was immediately known for the weird setlist (...an opening Eyes) and two Dark Star teases [plus a quote in a UJB jam], and was a popular curiosity trade BITD of Blanks & Postage. Little Feat opened, and it's a dual-keys show. Dark Star is NOT played, and we don't normally write out teases on a setlist – which makes this look better on paper than it is – but the show is above average for the era. One reason is that the drummers have a good night; so does Phil. This and the night before are the only shows ever recorded to 48-track masters. I assume this was two 24-tracks synched (and overlapped), but 48-track tape machines did exist (albeit big, heavy and rare). With all that, the SBD has a better image, since it doesn't put Jer center and Bobby (sometimes buried) in the extreme L. And the way the audience volume is suddenly raised on the OFF sounds artificial to Head ears. However it does have the clarity of a multi, and is otherwise dynamic. The show (and the night before) was shot for the ABC's "In Concert", which aired 5Jul91 and again 17Sep93. It has Eyes, Saint, Miracle and an interview. This show was also broadcast live on WNEW radio. So the different sources are: AUD, SBD, MTX, VID, DVD, Multitrack & FM.
First Set. Even though they had been changing things up since '89, it still seemed wild that they opened with Eyes of the World (at the behest of Bruce). Once they get going you can see that they were ready – a great example of a two-keys version. The last 1st set Eyes was 8/13/75 [it had opened the 2nd set before and had been encored]. This energy spills right into an unusually good Walkin' Blues. As a fine Brown Eyed Women fades, Bobby starts a Dark Star tease. Others fall in, but only teasingly, and Bobby soon starts strumming the intro to Masterpiece (which is solid enough but standard). Jer adds a great solo to a somewhat flubby Loose Lucy. Cassidy is above average, and though Might as Well has some lyric flubs, Bruce is great and it builds enough steam to get everybody up and Deadercising [ask yr grandparents].
Second Set. Saint is a bit flat – they're not all in pocket like they were the first set – but it's still GOGD. The next two are the best-played of the set. Ship of Fools is smoothly given (if low on fireworks), and this time it's Jer that leads a Dark Star tease. Now it's clear that "teasing" is exactly what they are doing (this is a direct quote; some setllists – and the OFF – show DS tracks throughout this show that are not). This on-the-money Truckin' might be the best of the year. New Speedway has more verse flubs but Bruce is great and it's one of the longest ever (even this jam has been called a Dark Star). Uncle John's is also a jammed-out version, with Bruce on accordion. Jer teases TOO, but it doesn't catch and becomes a unique UJB jam that quotes Dark Star (very briefly & the last of the show) and then TOO again [the OFF calls this UJB jam "Dark Star", probably for publishing reasons, but it would make more sense to call it a TOO]. A 19min UJB. Drums is absorbing, but Space not so much, and after a solid China Doll the cracks of endurance start to show. Playing in the Band is a reprise version, but the reprise on 6/11 already finished the hanging 6/9 version. Maybe they forgot? By Sugar Magnolia they are done. Teasing Dark Star but not playing it was a curio but less impressive than, you know, p l a y i n g it. But sure, it's fun, and the whole show is a must-hear-once.
1st Set: B
2nd Set: C+
Overall = 3½ stars
Highlights:
Eyes of the World – Bruce has them ready/excited
Walkin' Blues – Bobby leads them into the pocket
Truckin' – arguably best-of-year
SOURCES: Most sources that circulated had the beginning of Eyes clipped or trimmed tunings. The 150677_sbd is complete. The 128692_mtx is a fine Usborne matrix. The Giants Stadium box has the entire show in a crystal-clear, 48-track mixdown. A 5-record vinyl breakout is titled Saint of Circumstance. The whole show was released on DVD and some/all is usually up on YouTube (two songs from ABC In Concert - edited differently - used to circ on VHS and are also on YT). Spike Lee's Levi's commercial was supposedly shot this day.
