Wow nice start!
BTW, Stings hair was reddish-pink for my first Police concert. He was filming "Dune" while on tour.

Only saw The Dead once, but they played this song and it was my favorite part of the show. Love this song. BTW, Bruce Hornsby sat in on piano that night, making it even more awesome.
I have been to about 60-70 shows starting about 85 until Garcia passed.

I kind of thought something like that might be true given your avatar
My college roommate was a huge Deadhead, probably had similar numbers to you.

The Warfield was their home. Best venue ever. They played 3 sets - the 2nd all acoustic. They were magic around this time

I lost count. I don't think I'm in your neighborhood, but between '79 - '91, I saw them plenty around the Bay Area. My older, hippie brother has us both beat...
Man, I miss Jerry
I was on the other coast.. They would come and do summer and winter tours. Alot of times they would do 3 consecutive nights in the same venue. It adds up quick when you stay for all three.
It is a shame you never got to see Brent Mydland. He added a real soulful touch to the band.
Probably my favorite Brent Song

Yeah, I believe he had died before I saw them. I actually saw them in March 1995, not too long before Jerry passed away.

Yes sir. I spent a few 3-day smoke fests in SF and Oakland. Good times. How come no post of "Estimated Profit"? There's a good version from the Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mt. View, CA around 88, I think. You'll have to look past Bob's short-shorts.

is it okay to say back in 88-91, me and my buddies would go to the Dead shows not to see the shows but to hang out in the parking lots searching for 4 wall window panes and silver sunshine.....

I've always liked this as just another pop song with a great hook but the drums seemed a bit off, like whoever was playing them was either egotistical, stoned, or inept. There are fills in all the wrong places and that type of noisy drumming would fit better with a punk garage band than on a pop tune. Then I read this:
"Writers Gary De Carlo, Dale Frashuer and Paul Leka from Bridgeport, Connecticut got together one afternoon to record a B-side for De Carlo's "better songs." They used part of an old song Frashuer and Leka wrote 8 years previously called "Kiss Him Good-bye," and slapped on a chorus without words, just "Na na" with an occasional "Hey, hey." There was no band, just the three of them with a spliced up drum track." LINK
The drums were spliced together from old drum tracks. It just goes to show that even if a song is poorly produced and recorded, it can still become a hit if it has a great hook.

That album cover makes me cringe a bit when it comes up on my iPad while I'm listening at work.
So did Nirvana's Nevermind until I found a work safe image substitute....
Or this one...
