This was my very first show. I remeber it like it was yesterday! Sends tingles down my back! Did anyone else here go to Wompatuck State Park during these 6 shows? It was like a mini Woodstock only way I can describe it. Freaking AWESOME!!!

Nevermind the KnuckleHead that said "Eyes" was Sloppy, It's a fantastic version. The only flaw is Jerry's volume for a short time after he kicks in the midi-flute. Terrapin is Epic in spite of Vinnies vocals and cheesy "Angel Chorus" synth effect.

VG sound quality and very nice show. Bits of unfortunate talking that you get from a FOB (I assume this is FOB?). Definitely bearable, but darn it if the loud guy isn't babbling with his buddies during Stella Blue....dang

Still very nice

I remember driving north on 93 as they were tearing the Garden down...you could look right into it at the same angle the stage sat...all the seats were still there and it made me think about the only 2 times I went inside...the 2 dead shows I saw there, this one and one a few nights earlier on 9/25/93. Anywho, enough reminiscing...the boys definitely had settled into the Garden on this night and the opening 2 songs (Bucket & Sugaree) were fantastic and the crowd was lovin' every minute of it. I appreciated the bluesy "Same thing" because I hadn't seen that side of the dead before and Jerry's work on the guitar was great. Eternity was spooky and I remember the crowd was kinda in this subdued trance with this blue light covering everybody...cool tune. 2nd set opener of Eyes was beautiful...Jerry worked in a great opening solo and one of the solo breaks featured the flute effect..really putting forth a sweet sound, I felt like a character in this song....
A heart-felt acoustic version of LLR was followed by bluesy version of Way to go Home....a great effort by Vince. Terrapin was epic...I don't think I actually think I heard the song before, but the momentum building towards the outro was....well, moving. The crowd was going nuts...and Jerry kept on rolling with it on & on..like a freight train taking us deep into the valley of the unexplored....
Definitely recommend this show...for both quality of the sound and the band putting one hell of an show together...

Where is the sbd of this one? I have it on analog, but would really like to see it on the archive.

This is one of the finest shows of the fall of 1993. Jerry does it all in the Sugaree,"washboard" and "butterfly", its got it all.

The Terapin is outrageous. Read below, he pretty much says it all. That is one h*ll of a jam.

My seats for this night were strait back from the stage, 2nd row from the top. Luckily the guy infront of me wanted to sit up there with his buddies and offered me and this girl from florida, who was sitting next to me, their stubs for the floor. I hopped rite on that and ended up sitting rite infront of the SBD. A considerably better view and sound. Thanks to the locals of Beantown.

after seeing three of the previous four shows, my buddies and i were in the ZONE. this night, we hopped on the bus and ended up on the rail of ye olde boston garden's balcony, hanging right over phil. excellent stage view and -- believe it or not -- excellent sound. the carpets, candace's aerial tapestry, jerry looking over his lenses to bob, phil, mickey and bill, phil shuddering our bones . . .

aside from that magic alone (for which i was grateful at the time, never knowing if each time would be the last time indeed), something stellar opened up in the second set. after a sloppy eyes, bob performed a solid LLR. the boyz responded to the space that acoustic provided: we could hear the top and bottom of phil's notes, jerry ringing clear. they faked terrapin, played long way to go, not my fave but not a buzz kill like samba, then terrapin.

i've always liked odd-ball jams (think 10-31-83, 10-12-84, 8-28-81) and this terrapin was one of the more interesting i witnessed. at the time, we were calling the additional floaty pieces after terrapin "butterfly jams," and, after a perfectly executed terrapin proper (with a beautiful space after the story teller verse), i was eager to hear some little improvs. little did i know that this "little improv" would clock in over twelve minutes! at times disjointed, there are moments when jerry erupts in a flurry of twisted notes that hit the nail on the head but in weird places. during the show, just when i thought it would wind down, jerry would find a new flow and run with it.

sound quality is a B+/A-: nice hall echo, crisp, yet, a sbd would erase the tinny boston garden qualities. it's just nice to see this show (not even rated or reviewed in deadbase) uploaded and accessible. thank you archive!

p.s. two and half stars would be more appropriate considering the first set. the curious should sample the terrapin-->playin' reprise-->stella blue. this terrapin stands up to some of the most unique jamming i ever witnessed: well worth the price of admission alone. check it out.
