and Summer of 1990 were very good musically for the Band. Brent was stepping up to help out Jerry and Bobby with the tune rotation. And listen to his jumping in for backing vocals at all points. Phil seemed to be letting his bass licks drop in 73 fashion when he had the mind. MASTERPIECE-That tune had some kick and now really reminds me of this era. I like Bobby sings it straight here with no DYLAN antics. The backing vocals are great with Garcia shadowing Bobby at just the right points in the song. Very enjoyable show!

seen a Help Slip Frank before and while the boys were tuning up I heard Jer tuning for Help and my mouth hit the floor. I turned to look at my bro and he was just smiling and shaking his head up and down. Fun to go back and listen to this show and remember being young and foolish and enjoying life in a carefree way with my brother. Good times for sure. Needless to say, that was a great couple of days. Was it worth it the 4k round trip drive. I'd have to say yes.

My Last Shows
These were the last couple of times I saw the Grateful Dead. I went to the gigs, headed off to go climb a couple of mountains and a month and change later,
...
heard that Brent had died. The whole thing actually changed for me in Alpine Valley in '88. I didn't think I'd go to any more shows after that tour. My impression of the tour was that the Old Feeling had left the scene. My friends got their nice tent ripped off, I got thrown out of a show by jock goons in Minneapolis and it went downhill from there. Maybe I was just getting old or something. I'd give it a couple more chances before throwing in the tie dye. Anyway. Nice to have these here to listen to. I can listen to them when I'm sitting on the porch in my rocker, yelling at kids to get off my asphalt. I remember the weekend. Well, sorta'. I think Kesey was at these shows. I've bumped into him so many times in Oregon, it's hard to get the dates straight. I KNOW Bill Graham was there. Jesus, I AM old.

There wasn't much from the Mydland portions of 1990 that wasn't great. This one seemed like the band wanted to throw a little extra Eugune's way.

Show 4 : Sound 4
This show is my second favorite of 1990, the best being the previous day. If you want two shows from 1990, the Eugene shows are the ones. The opening
...
Help>Slip>Franklin's are well jammed and interesting, which wasn't always the case. If you get tuned in to the energy of the show from the start, Masterpiece is an inspired choice. Sometimes Bob makes some 'odd' calls but I'm beginning to understand them a little better. The energy of the tune is exactly what is needed at that point. Just A Little Light and Candyman are textbook versions and Let It Grow to close the set with a little exploration. Foolish Heart to open and an exceptional version it is. I don't care for Women Are Smarter but Jerry's midi solo really takes it somewhere I've never heard it go before, gives it a real 'fiesta' feel that makes me wish the song lasted longer. Wonderful reading of Standing On The Moon, second only to Alpine the previous year. Nice Box Of Rain and Estimated and relaxed and interesting He's Gone. Then the 1971 medley to close, including an excellent Brokedown Palace.
