Jerry switched to a strat, great space! Brent went bezerk as he hammered away at the keys. Sat front row center, wow!

A solid show from an under rated year. I think 1989 was a pretty good year for the Dead. They seemed to re-energize after the craziness of In the Dark. this show to me is an example of the solid consistent (if not overly spectacular) playing for this year. Row Jimmy started this out on a good note. While I have always felt that live versions of Far From Me never seemed to capture the power of the studio version ( go Figure), I really was into this one. (Any hints anyone could give on other good live versions?) Even Victim, which I really do not care for, was not bad here. Second set highlights were a rockin' Samson, A very cool space, and Wharf Rat> NFA to end the set.

Over all a pretty good sounding recording and a nice addition to your 1989 collection.

1st victim was 6-17-88, at the Metropolitan Sports Center in wonderful Bloomington, MN.

This show was really fun to see, but I'm disappointed by the sound quality of the sources in circulation for it. I actually like the sound quality of the other source a little better than this one, but that one has a lot of crowd noise near the mics. The levels sound hot on this source in several spots. It's a great show for the time period though, definitely worth the download. Where's the soundboard??

By the way, the first victim or the crime was actually 6/17/88, at this same venue (the show before alpine '88). Did I mention deadheads can be a little detail-obsessed sometimes?

Subject: Missing 2 Songs - FYI Only

This aud is missing Iko and Minglewood from set 1. The other aud available here has these if you are a completist.
