Revivals of the 1980's |
There were a number of songs that returned to the repertoire during the Brent years that had not been performed for varying periods of time. Some are more significant than others, but I have attempted to list them and provide some interesting info. This has been percolating in the back of my mind for a while. So here goes, without caveat or disclaimer except to state that this is by no means necessarily intended to be ‘complete’. The research is my own and based mostly on objective facts, rather than subjective music quality. Although I have struggled to be as accurate as I can with the resources available to me, there are likely to be some errors.
I am using this as an introduction and will place the meat of my post below. This should enable me to make future corrections and additions without bumping the entire thread. Any input is welcomed – if you would be so kind, please make any replies to the main post.

So it was!! Oddly enough not all the versions available here list it. I assume that is why it didn't come up in my search. Thanks.

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Not sure if this counts, as it was just from rehearsals but...
"Attics Of My Life" Heard it on Sirius radio yesterday and was thinking it very rare for the time. I seem to be link challenged today, the date is 5/28/1976. Two sources on the Archive, one is "Unknown Venue" the other is "Le Club Front Studios"...

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
This might be one step removed from what you're doing, but how about I Know You Rider sans China Cat...don't have deadbase in front of me, but i remember them doing it on 03-31-1973 after Truckin', fantastic set, then they play it out of Playin' on 08-05-1989...

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
This is a revised version of my revivals post. Hope I got it all right this time - and a hearty thanks for all the help. ( ps. does not cover the ‘jams’ )
Perhaps a starting point would be the acoustic shows in the fall of 1980 - at the Warfield, Saenger and Radio City shows, and the subsequent acoustic sets from 12/6/80 Mill Valley, 12/31/80 Oakland, 4/25/81 Berkeley, 5/22/81 Warfield, and the two Amsterdam shows in October 1981. Some of the songs performed were never played again (Dark Hollow, Rosalie McFall, Heaven Help The Fool, Little Sadie, Sage and Spirit) but many of the revivals made it into future (electric) rotation.
Bird Song . . . Last played on 9/15/73 - opens the first acoustic show at the Warfield on 9/25/80 and was played every year thereafter. Here’s a good one from MSG 10/11/83, which also features the first of three Brent era St. Stephens :
http://www.archive.org/details/gd1983-10-11.sbd.harrell.14525.shnf
China Doll . . . Played post hiatus 3x in 1977, once in 1979 with Brent : (Nice transition back into Playin’)
http://www.archive.org/details/gd79-05-08.glassberg.vernon.18876.sbeok.shnf
Returns acoustically on 9/26/80 and is performed until 1994. (see 10/11/83 Bird Song link for another one)
Deep Elem Blues . . . This traditional song was played regularly in 1970, it was then played again once on 11/17/78. Returns next in the acoustic sets on 10/4/80, and is performed through 1983.
Monkey and the Engineer . . . This Jesse Fuller song was played in 1969 and 1970, and returns for the acoustic sets. Next played on the David Letterman show 4/13/82, and only once more (in the second set) on 2/12/89.
Oh Babe, It Ain’t No Lie . . . This song by Elizabeth Cotton debuted only for the acoustic sets, excepting 3/23/84 when Jerry opens the second set with it, while Bob has equipment issues.
On The Road Again . . . This traditional song was last sung in 1966 by Jerry - Bob revives it on 9/26/80 and it is played fairly infrequently through 1984.
The Race Is On . . . This George Jones song was last played 10/19/74. It returns in the acoustic set on 9/27/80, and is played through Amsterdam. Next played in Sacramento on 5/3/86 and is performed just five more times after that.
http://www.archive.org/details/gd1986-05-03.sbd.miller.81516.flac16
Ripple . . . Last played on 4/29/71 – returns for the first Warfield show on 9/25/80 and ends all 27 acoustic sets this year, and also the 1981 acoustic sets. But it was only to be played again once, as the encore 9/3/88 :
http://www.archive.org/details/gd88-09-03.sbd.miller.27749.sbeok.flacf

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
great thread. looking at the list it got me thinking what kinda of crap shoot the dead set list was night to night. I saw roughly 75 plus shows and only got morning dew 3 times all of them after Hornsby left the band. On the flip side I got every performance of the rare Nobody's fault But Mine after it came back in 1991

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Good work.
I have some additions for you:
Brokedown Palace - last played 10-14-77; revived 12-26-79.
Hey Jude - last played 3-1-69; revived 9-7-85.
I Just Want To Make Love To You - last played 11-29-66; played twice in '84 and once in '95.
King Bee - last played 12-15-71; played twice in the '90s.
Morning Dew - a questionable entry perhaps. Fairly common in early '77 until 6-7-77; then played once in '78 (4-15-78) and once in '79 (11-8-79), and four times in 1980; started becoming more common in August '81.
(Cold Rain & Snow is another one that was quite rare in the late-Keith days - only played twice in '77, three times in '78, once in Jan '79.)
One-time only performances:
Big Boy Pete - last electric performance 9-20-70; was played acoustically 11-17-78; revived once 11-21-85.
New Orleans - last played 11-8-70; revived once 6-21-84 (with the Band).
Frozen Logger - last "played" 8-25-72; revived once 9-7-85.
Hideaway - last played 11-7-71; played once 6-21-89.
Then there's a very large category of songs that were dropped for whatever reason, that were revived in Keith's last month, Feb '79. Though not strictly "Brent-era" revivals, they should also be mentioned:
Big Railroad Blues - last played 10-19-74; revived 2-17-79; first Brent performance 12-7-79.
Greatest Story Ever Told - last played 10-18-74; revived 2-17-79.
High Time - last played 5-26-77; revived 2-17-79; not played with Brent til Nov '79.
The Wheel - was a regular in '77 until 10-30-77; played once in '78 (2-3-78); revived 2-17-79; then vanished again & revived again 8-17-80.
Don't Ease Me In - last played 8-6-74; revived in Feb '79 and played 3 times that month, & regularly thereafter.
China Cat Sunflower - after 10-20-74, was played once in '77 (12-29-77), not at all in '78; revived four times in Feb '79 (starting 2-3-79) & played regularly thereafter.
(It's notable how many Garcia songs were played only once, or not at all, in 1978, even when they'd been regulars in '77 - China Doll, Comes a Time, High Time, Morning Dew, Wheel, Brokedown... Not a good year for Garcia ballads.)

Many thanks, I knew I would miss some. I found a couple more, like How Long Blues and Louie Louie. I will see what else shakes out and work on updating my post this weekend. I quite enjoyed doing it, even if I’m not sure what value it has.
This was an academic exercise that I wanted to attempt, mainly driven by the great joy I experienced being in attendance when the band broke out a cherished and rare song from the old days. I originally was going to have the subject be ‘Revivals and Breakouts’ but quickly realized it would be too much. It is tricky to be as accurate and informative as possible - which is certainly easier today than it was before the advent of the internet - because some of the data out there is inconsistent and conflicting. I was a bit daunted and wary about such a large effort, but as you have stated before, persistence is the key. Your works, in addition to being splendidly informative, have inspired me greatly, as does your continued knack of ‘leading by example’.

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
I didn't get into '90s revivals in my additions, but it sounds like you have a bunch of those to put on the list too. Might as well...
Louie Louie is a tricky case - the 9-7-69 performance is just Garcia w/ some of Jefferson Airplane, and 6-7-70 is just a tease.
But it reminds me of:
La Bamba - played 11-11-70 (in Good Lovin'); revived 4 times in Sept '87.
Casey Jones should probably make the list as well, since it was revived three times - in '77, '84, and '92.
Lists like these are much easier with collaborations. It's impossible to remember everything on your own (for instance, I didn't even know there was a How Long, or Hideaway, in '89, til others mentioned it). You had half a list; now with everyone chipping in you'll have the Definitive Revival List.
And, a minor point - but ordering the list is also important - you have it in random order now, but alphabetical would be useful, and chronological would be intriguing.

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Interesting thread; nice job. \
I believe there are more - "Must Have Been The Roses," for example. My own pet theory has been that some were dropped because of horrible vocals (I'm looking at you, Ms. Godcheaux)and revived when those were no longer a threat.

No worries here. And I apologize if my reply seemed haughty – a bit sleep deprived myself.

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Hey D--though I dropped out by then, and thus don't have things to add, just wanted to complement you on all this work, and your attn to detail (like the "non bump" little trick; great idea!).
Anyways, great to see you 80s folks really taking it on in a big way; has to be good for the board since clearly so many enjoyed them, and still do, in spite of all the trouble making old farts sometimes inhibiting such matters (never, never intentionally on my part).

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
I struggled a bit with the jams – and when to draw the line. That Other One jam apparently is the only one after 1974 – good call. I chose the Brent years – perhaps revivals post Brent merit some attention too. There were many fabulous ones (in theory at least) like Here Comes Sunshine, Unbroken Chain (ok, not a revival since they hadn’t played it live before,) New Speedway Boogie, I’m A King Bee, It Takes A Train To Cry.
(I see that you added some of these before I could respond.) ps. The Rolling Stones song The Last Time was first played on 2/25/90.

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Yea I figured at first it was just from the 80's but saw the Same Thing and Nobody's Fault from the 90's and thought I'd throw some more in too. Casey Jones is another one.
As for "The Last Time" I could have swore they did it in 66-67 but I'm not very good with the search stuff so I'll take your word for it.

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Very nice job Vapors and hello to you Ashes. I could go on about how many of these songs were better in their 80's arrangement, but I don't want to turn this thread negative!

Great thread indeed. This is a very interesting and informative discussion. Much appreciated. As far as your alma matter, I'm guessing Plattsburgh or Paul Smith's?

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
Well I grew up a Schenectady/Adirondack kid, so most of my shows were the Knick, MSG, Nassau, Philly, & Meadowlands.
Did make it out to Darien Lake, for Other ones in 2000 w/ Ziggy and Jorma, and then again for Phil and amigos in '06. Would not mind sneaking out to western NY this summer to catch the Art Park show however.

Paul Smiths. Had a great time during my 1.5 years living inside the blue line and made many excursions to see the boys from there. I went to many shows in the great state of NY and seeing that you live near Syracuse was curious if and when you also had the opportunity to see the band there?

Re: Revivals of the 1980's |
vapors: ..great background info.! I am so glad you returned for that show. .."something" really did happen inside that arena that night, hey[?] ...I saw hundreds of shows and I always return to this one and the 2nd set of 9/26/'91 as the ones that seem to keep "calling" me. ..It wasn't until I saw your post that I realized I witnessed the last "We Bid You Goodnight." [even got the DVD of that one]
Sincerely -- Thank you very much,
