My 1st dead show
-

I took my brother to this show, his only one. He didn't 'get it' at all. After the first couple of tunes he was sitting down and I got him dozin a couple of times after that. He stood up for Truckin' (probably the only tune he knew) but that was it. It would be the last time I caught Help/Slip/Franklin's for ten years.

10th show. I remember this set of shows at the Byrne being solid. The Nobody's Jam....last one thru 1988.

My 1st show!! Got on the bus and never got off. I saw 20 shows in 1985 and about 20 or more every year after until 92. Then things slowed down for me and the band imho.

This was a good show, don't know why people, like those who write for Relix, gave it such shit. The Goin down the road was really good, the ending made sense if you had listened to the whole tour.

Bill Graham or who ever was promoting this tour probably got screamed at for the little stunt they pulled in Hartford when the Fire Marshall turned up the lights and they kept playing, so he probably told them, "when you see the signal you have to stop if you want to do an encore". Nobody looks into the context of when and why something happened, just jumping to conclusions because it doesn't sound exactly the way they want.

I dig that the people who were actually at this show give a far different point of veiw, one i happen to agree with. Terrapin was a great ride to the very rare center peak, then disintigrating into drum/space section.

The Help Slip Frank was good too. I have to say, it isn't the best show, but some of the "critics" do make it sound like a train wreck, so listen to it before you judge, you might just hear something you like.

Very enthusiastic Set I opener... by the time they get to the end of Promised Land, they sound well and truly out of control!

One of 18 shows with both Iko Iko and Man Smart, Women Smarter.

This one hit the spot for me. The set list alone should get your blood pumping. Very interesting Man Smart in between some heavy hitters, but no worry at all, I think it kept the energy up. The Other Ones from this era have been fire, and this one doesn't disappoint. And just when I thought they might slow things down, they rip into Truckin'. There's that little Nobody's Jam and then bam, right into Stella. And then a totally unexpected GDTRFB. This is one I'll return to without a doubt.
