Bruce overplays on Jack Straw playing some dazzling lucks that don't fit the song. Then completely screws up Sugaree by switching to loud accordion drowning

out Jerry's solo.Cannot listen any further. Thanks to mind folks who post this.

Subject: what a Summer tour
Subject: what a Summer tour
I caught everything except the large East coast stadiums (only bummed about 6-17) and both nights at Sandstone were very hot, literally and literally.
Solid ... first set here, not quite as good as the night before but still respectable. Opening Scarlet > Fire is among the longest (ever) and really pushed boundaries for this late in their career. The other main highlight is the Comes A Times out of space, which Jerry begins teasing 4+ minutes before starting it in earnest. This was my first and only time to see it and when I heard those first teased notes, I stood bolt upright and listened as hard as I could, pulling for it to happen with all the energy I could. No disappointment with the version at all, it's lovely. Jerry doesn't slow down and pushes straight into a nice GDTRFB. Echoing what others have mentioned, Jerry completely blows off the beginning of Good Lovin', deciding a smoke made more sense. Bobby is left alone for what I'm sure felt like a really long time to him. Not sure what Jerry wanted him to play, but it certainly was not Good Lovin'. Still worth a listen though as is the night before and most of the rest of Summer '91.

Subject: Had one of those flashes.....
Good show for the era. Seemed like every now and again the boys would get in a great groove and, while not as crips as the 70's and 80's, put on a show
...
that had you wanting more and more. Like the lead on Scarlet. The Fire, as noted, is a good one. Comes a Time remains one of my favorites. But what makes summer '91 stand out for me is the absence of the non-Garcia material that would have made the next studio album. The Built to Last material had been integrated into the rotation with the rest of the catalog - rather than dominating sets - and the next batch of new tunes hadn't hit the rotation yet [sorry folks, but I am not a fan of Easy Answers, Corrina, Wave to the Wind, Mathilda, Long Way Home, Samba in the Rain, or If the Shoe Fits]. So what you had were diverse sets covering the history of the band through Built to Last. The only "downer" was Vince. He could play keys okay, but his voice was painful. Long story longer and more tedious..... 1991 was the last year where they boys would play strong an entire show. But no matter how well they played, it just wasn't the same with Vince on keyboards. Keith was a huge change from Pigpen, but he took them in a new and jazzy direction. Brent was a huge change from Keith, but he took them in a rock & blues direction. Vince just didn't fit. I know he loved Jerry and the band and was a Bay Area guy. But if the shoe doesn't fit.....

I remember Jerry getting pissed at Bobby at more than this show. I presume he thought Bobby would pick a more jamming tune to top of this little nugget
...
in Kansas? seemed to me Jerry got a bit disgruntled at a lot of the Queen Jane's in 90 too. After the Epic S/F here Jerry pretty much carried this set no complaining here though. I always heard Jerry was a perfectionist so I always wonder what he thought of the shows to come especially 94&95. yeah gotta say this is the last consistently good year for the most part.

Interesting run of Candyman, Memphis Blues and Tenn. Jed in set one. Just struck me that they sequenced like that in Kansas. You can even make a case
...
that Walkin' continued the them; although Son House recorded it in Wisconsin in 1930 (never released) he was from the Clarksdale, Miss. area, just down river from Memphis. I'm trying to think of something significant happening in Tenn. in early summer '91 to spark this, or death of a bluesman...but I got nothing.

It's such a shame that Jerry is so low in the mix on this scorching version -- you can barely hear him RIPPING it and driving the bus HARD -- he plays
...
5 notes for every one you can hear...Weir is just turned WAY TOO UP by Healy and Jerry sounds muffled...I was in the front row directly in front of Jerome and you could hear EVERY crisp note -- it was like he was channeling another universe at the 5 minute mark onward - A truly transcendental experience to close the set and absorb for 45 minutes before the Scarlet-->Fire....

Subject: Jerry gets pissed off at Bobby
I one thing I will never forget about this show was that when Bob Started playing Good Lovin’ Jerry raised his arms and shook his head in disgust. Bob
...
looked over at Phil for help I guess, Phil just stood there with no emotion or notion to do anything. Jerry went back to his amp and lit a cigarette and looked very upset, he did not even really play the song except for a quick solo and back up vocals. For what ever reason he was not happy with the choice of song Bobby picked. That makes this show one to remember. Obviously the Scarlet-Fire is great, the longest I have seen Bob starts to play Fire in the middle of the Scarlet jam and Jerry blows by him with more improvisational jamming to extend this lengthy workout.( The Scarlet-Fire the year before and Sandstone was also very good.) The Truckin -Smokestack has no real heart felt jamming at all. Post Tuckin jams all but disappeared much to my dismay. The post He’s Gone Jam is a bit mellow, nice, certainly nothing like the 1990 summer tour versions. It seems like they already spent massive jam energy during Scarlet-Fire. Comes A Time out of space is special and GDTRFB give a nice one-two Jerry punch.

My only bona fide Grateful Dead show just happened to be Garcia's last appearance in the Kansas City area...
Ya, I've seen Phil & Friends a couple ... times since then, and I saw 'The Dead' in St. Louis '04, but those shows just cannot compare with this one, simply because Jerry was there. And we obviously caught them on a good night! "Scarlet"/"Fire" just plain ROCKS; "Drums" was a highlight for this rhythm freak.
Do yourself a favor, latch onto this show and rattle the neighbor's dishes with it.

Scarlet>Fire is a strong workout, and the jam out of He's Gone is something special. Comes a Time is sung with conviction, even though the solo is not one of the better ones. Darn, it's too bad I was broke that year - they were hitting it out of the park on a regular basis.

GD after Brent passed is so hit or miss, but shows like this remind me why I kept going to see the Dead up to the end. Comes A Time is so heartbreaking
...
and beautiful, you have to hear it to believe it. Jerry was really on fire this whole show, his voice sounds clear and his playing is full of energy. This recording sounds fantastic...definitely recommended, especially for those that sometimes fail to find the magic in the Dead during their last years of touring.

If you want a quick way of finding out why this is an all-time great Scarlet-Fire, turn up very loud and listen to about 4:30 to 8:00 minutes into Fire.
...
The way Jerry weaves his solo between themes, falls back to elicit responses from the band, then hammers home an amazing peak all with an extremely smooth style - the whole performance is a standout and the entire band is in the zone. Check out 5/13/1977 for another standout Scarlet-Fire from another era.

What can I say besides Bruce owned summer '91. The way he energized Jerry was just great.
Jack Straw > Sugaree is a wonderful start. Nice Candyman ... followed by probably my favorite Memphis Blues. The Music to close the first set is smokin.
The second set opens with Scarlet > Fire and never slows down. I like the Comes a Time and GDTRFB as well. Not as good as 6/17 or 6/14 but it is still hot.
