Your Favorite "Late Era" Dead Tunes
Forums:
I'm thinking anything they started playing 1985 or later, so that kind of disqualifies a lot of In the Dark.
Mine:
1. Believe it or Not
2. Little Light
3. Victim
4. Standing on the Moon
5. Little Light
6. Black Muddy River
7. We Can Run

Foolish heart had a nice little jam in it. Victim had the madness and power.
So many roads had crazy potential.

That second Little Light was
That second Little Light was supposed to be We Can Run.
Depending how you break up the eras, Althea is in the same generation as Touch, T-stones, Hell in a Bucket and West LA. Althea was only 3 years before the others.

Met Center Bloomington MN
Met Center Bloomington MN start of Summer Tour '88
I was starting to really come on to a head full of Escher (peeling skull)...
and shit got real weird when Weir busts out "Patience runs out on the junkie.... The Dark side hires another soul"
got real dark for a while...
Saw it 4 or 5 times on that tour. Took me quite a while but, really dig it now.
The Believe it or Not at Alpine was beautiful!
Just a Little Light was a cool bust out at the Kaiser Spring '89...
Remember trying to figure out the name as we were walking out calling it "Soldier of Light"
I miss the Kaiser.

The "sleepy Jerry ballad" (e
The "sleepy Jerry ballad" (e.g. SOTM, Days Between, So Many Roads) was the one point in any given late era show where Jerry would consistently bring it. He might have been nodding off for half the second set, but when that time came, he would wake up and deliver a soulful, heartfelt performance for at least that one bit of the show (note: except Highgate 94 when he slept through SOTM).
I have to admit that I kinda of liked Long Way to Go Home and Samba in the Rain, the later of which would often inspire the funky disco dance moves. Just wish they had given Vince a few more songs to work with so they didn't repeat them so much.
Speaking of Vince, Baba O'Riley was a nice addition for which the band did justice.

"Samba In The Rain" made "Wave To The Wind" look like "Dark Star".
"Corrina" was just awful, but "Picasso Moon" had some weird chord changes and Crazy jams. The lighting crew worked extra hard on that one.
"Lazy River Road" and "Days Between" were about the Best from the latter-day GD era. "Black Muddy River" was underexplored and really ought to have become second-set Space-Jam material.

Not a big fan of this song.......however, if you look at the times they played it, more often than not, good things happened at these shows. Some how it ramped the band up....or at least Jerry in his late state

At the time, I thought I could apply my imaginary production skills and make a hit single for someone (maybe Hall and Oates) with that song. Apparently, neither the good ole GD nor Hall and Oates needed my help because no one called me for this purpose. Maybe I was too baked.

Liberty was ok - the version
Liberty was ok - the version on the CHapel Hill encore from 93 was tasty.
Also the last tune I saw them play Las Vegas in 1995.
Days Between was the best.........the rest .....MEH !
