the tour story:
the tour story:
This was to be the second show at Blossom near our friend Eddie's house. Mike and I tried like hell to make it, the unripped ticket I still have says we did not! Gary had to head home, so Sean and Kenny carried the weight and taped from the pavilion with Eddie recording with his Nakamichi mics. A Tuesday show presented another couple of "for the Faithful" moments with each set opener.

For the first set, the "Day Tripper" would soon become more standard in their repertoire, but at this time was still relatively new in their performances. The Gimme Some Lovin' was another song added in 1984/5?? for Phil's vocal ego/id, which the lead vocal was carried by Brent who also assists Phil with his verse. They followed with as many "cowboy tunes" as they can put into one set, with the BIODTL and Big RR Blues my listening favorites. They sort of pull a switch in that they do Me & My Uncle > Big River as opposed to Mexicali in the second slot.

The musical quality of the show was in full steam mode. After the second set opener "Gimme Some Lovin'", they played what I term an "all Grateful Dead" set, no more covers. The "I know You Rider" has some spark to it with Jerry's solo's at the end driving the band to the crowd's delight. A long "Playing in the Band" cycle went through drums and space then led back to Playing through a pin drop Garcia vocal "the Wheel" back into a short Playing reprise. The China Doll which follows is captivating.
