Wow I missed so many good shows in those years due to intense job in Seattle area. 

Peak Q!

What a run. Roam The West. Best post Jerry shows I've seen with 2/18 taking the Pole Position. All 4 nights were awesome.

A great celebration.  I feel so fortunate to have shared the Earth with the GD.  
LONG LIVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

Acid Tests. Part II. 

Entering Sunday 2/18, I thought they may downshift a bit after the incredible nights that preceded. I mean, there was nowhere else to go right? Then BOOMSKI with a nearly 1/2 hour mega Dancin' out of the gate, setting the exploratory pace of what was to come. Set II and the encore is a nuclear, mind blowing stretch of music. Phil Lesh at peak power. Just incredible. 

 

 

2/18/01 might be my all time favorite Q show. Just unbelievably remarkable. 

> Acid Tests. Part II.

No doubt. Walking out of the show on Sunday night I told a friend that I would never again whine about not catching the GD in the 60s and early 70s. We got it all that night at the Maritime.

I was not planning on going, but a friend had extras for two shows. That last show on Sunday...wow. I remember tears being shed at some point during Wharf Rat and Dark Star. I was on the bus once again...

I don't remember what party favors were shared that week (other than the music), but I do recall the walls of the Maritime Hall dripping with psychedelia .*.*.

We were in the balcony Sunday sitting next to a crew who were smoking DMT all night. Candace's lights were more majestic than usual.

LOVE That Poster ! It Is On My Wall Right Now.

Jesus... no wonder I feel old at times. 25 years ago, where did the time go?

 

Th second set + encore of the 2/18 show arrives at a total of 2 hours and 28 minutes. 

 

So many great posters from this run.

Been listening to this run today. 

Wow.  and missing Phil of course.

Love the intriguing posters. 

Thanks for this thread! 

 

What a dump that place was! Great shows though

I'd say it was a classic pairing of the sacred and the profane.

> What a dump that place was! Great shows though

The floors were sticky as hell, like so sticky they almost pulled your shoes off.

But they had a lot of great shows there for sure - not just Phil. I saw a lot of reggae and dub there too. There was other stuff that I was not into, but I appreciated the venue's wide range of offerings. I always wondered what happened to their vault of shows. 2B1 productions did a few official CD releases of Maritime shows. I seem to recall they also did some video of the shows, maybe? Where is that stuff now?

I saw a lot of Zero shows at the Maritime (Scarytime) Hall.

Such a Fantastical time to be alive

The only poster I recognized from all of those is the Buffalo one

Now those were some shows. I didn't know any of you then. But I did know that the greater "we" were onto something really special.

Wouldn't it be cool if a high-quality lineup gathered to cover this run?  hmmmmmmm

And true, many other great shows there. To point, Rads NYE '95.

On the flip side, the Black Crowes stumbled on stage almost 2 hours late one evening, with Chis mostly interested in drinking and sparring with the audience.
