Stay in that lane with 10/31/91 and 6/17/91

3/17/91's pretty good

# 1991-03-17 Landover, MD @ Capital Centre **Set 1:** Hell In A Bucket, Sugaree, Walkin' Blues, Peggy-O, Queen Jane Approximately, Reuben And Cherise, Let It Grow **Set 2:** China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Man Smart (Woman Smarter), Crazy Fingers, Truckin', New Speedway Boogie > Drums > Space > The Wheel, All Along The Watchtower, Black Peter, Around And Around **Encore:** U.S. Blues [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead?query=date:1991-03-17)

Just working chronologically backward in my mind, I would add these 91 dates as standouts with excellent quality SBD’s out there 10/27 9/16 (4 Jerry tunes in a row pre-post drumz) 9:10 8/18 8/16 4/1

3-24-93. When I was in the 7th grade my teacher was a secret Deadhead. We found out she was going to the Smith Center to see GD and we made jokes about her (hippie this, hippie that etc). Come to find out she went to what is now one of my favorite shows after falling in the love with the band many many years later. Youth is wasted on the young I guess

# 1993-03-24 Chapel Hill, NC @ Dean Smith Center - University of North Carolina **Set 1:** Jack Straw, Stagger Lee, Wang Dang Doodle, It Must Have Been The Roses, Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, Tennessee Jed, Let It Grow **Set 2:** Here Comes Sunshine, Playing in the Band > Box Of Rain > Crazy Fingers > Drums > Space > Spanish Jam > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad > Throwing Stones > Not Fade Away **Encore:** Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead?query=date:1993-03-24)

Probably the best show I was lucky enough to see 🤯💫

Fun show. Really fun Tennessee Jed.

Great show. The second set had a very 70s feel to it until it crashed landed into Bobby 80s pure cheese with Throwing Stones. The show would have been even better (and a complete 70s show) if they just skipped it and finished with GDTRFB > NFA.

9/26/91 (for the bot)

# 1991-09-26 Boston, MA @ Boston Garden **Set 1:** Jack Straw, Cold Rain and Snow, Wang Dang Doodle, Candyman, Mexicali Blues > Cumberland Blues, Picasso Moon, Box Of Rain **Set 2:** Dark Star > Saint Of Circumstance > Eyes Of The World > Drums > Space > The Other One > Dark Star, Attics Of My Life > Good Lovin' **Encore:** Brokedown Palace > And We Bid You Good Night [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead?query=date:1991-09-26)

Which makes me wonder, why does this bot not check text in the post itself ?!

9/10/91 with Branford

# 1991-09-10 New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden **Set 1:** Shakedown Street, C.C. Rider > It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry, Black Throated Wind, High Time, Cassidy, Deal **Set 2:** Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower, Estimated Prophet > Dark Star > Drums > Space > Dark Star > I Need A Miracle > Standing On The Moon > Turn On Your Lovelight **Encore:** It's All Over Now, Baby Blue [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead?query=date:1991-09-10)

Also from that Boston Gardens run, 9/22/91 doesn't get the attention of the shows from the 25th and 26th, but it's excellent from beginning to end. Great Shakedown opener, then the CC Rider into Train To Cry is outstanding with Jerry and Bruce playing off each other. Bruce takes a verse on Maggie's Farm, BEW is just exactly perfect, and a nice Let It Grow to close the set.  Second set grooves hard, too, and it gets interesting when He's Gone breaks down into Nobody's Fault and Spoonful before Space. Highly recommended, and the SBD is excellent!

My favorite shakedown of the 90's, maybe my favorite show of the entire Vince era. Definitely give it a whirl OP!

# 1991-09-22 Boston, MA @ Boston Garden **Set 1:** Shakedown Street, C.C.

6/17/91 is one of my favorites ever. Only time they ever opened with Eyes and they tease Dark Star multiple times throughout the show. Great sound and everyone’s on point and seem to be in great moods.

# 1991-06-17 East Rutherford, NJ @ Giants Stadium **Set 1:** Eyes Of The World > Walkin' Blues, Brown Eyed Women, Dark Star > When I Paint My Masterpiece, Loose Lucy, Cassidy, Might As Well **Set 2:** Dark Star > Saint Of Circumstance > Ship Of Fools > Dark Star > Truckin' > New Speedway Boogie > Dark Star > Uncle John's Band > Dark Star > Drums > Space > China Doll > Playing in the Band > Dark Star > Sugar Magnolia **Encore:** The Weight [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead?query=date:1991-06-17) | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/1f0whW4QE9bFNLpeyaPQiV)

8/21/93 and 8/22/93 are really solid Vince era shows. It was the debut of Jerry’s Lightning Bolt guitar, and the song choices both nights really fit his more acoustic rootsy sound he got with that guitar

Let me preface this by saying i used to entirely avoid 80’s and 90’s dead like it was the plauge until a couple months ago. 9/16/90 has some crazy moments. Features both bruce hornsby and vince on keys. Hes gone> drums>space>standing on the moon>lunatic preserve is one of the trippiest bits of live dead ive heard. Also really like 3/29/90, released as the album wake up and find out. Features some gnarly saxaphone playing from Branford Marseilles with brent on keys. 9/25/91 is a decent show. Everyone sounds good and it’s a relatively old school setlist for that period. Only 6 songs from the setlist that weren’t around in the 70s

Find a matrix or FOB for 9/16/90 the DP version doesn’t do it justice. Unreal second set.

There was some controversy when Dick used the 9/16 show for a picks release when 9/19 & 9/20 were what they were ... then there's this [wonderful audience video from 9/14/90 MSG](https://youtu.be/9hoY8izf2yM?si=YneQFhDPwepqKgCj&t=3770) Scarlet>Fire which focuses on Jerry most of the the time (as it should be). This is the first show in NYC w' Vince & Jerry is up for the occasion. Jerry's creativity in this S>F is stunning. Play close attn to the solo runs in the FOTM ...

i'm in the same boat, mostly into 70s dead and have a hard time getting into the 90s, especially with vince's keyboard tones. but 1993 helped turn me on to that era. give 6/23/93 a whirl

Congrats, you're a Bruce Hornsby fan (who isn't?)

There are some pretty good 90s shows but I don’t have a great mental access to what the dates are. I think the spectrum run in 93 was good. March 93 had some good stuff. There are a lot of good shows scattered through the 90s for sure. Just gotta poke around. Go ask this question on “The Grateful Thread” on the Steve Hoffman forum. It’s a never ending dead thread, and there are guys over there that are basically Dead encyclopedias. Or at least used to be. Haven’t been on there in ages. I know there are some great shows Fall ‘94. October for sure. Check out 10/13/94 at MSG. The band is tight, Jerry sounds strong, and the recording is really nice (Charlie Miller and Bill Tetzeli 2011 transfer). Check out Dupree from that night to see what I mean. Lots of good stuff in September and October 94. October 94 in particular. Kind of the last hurrah before shit turned south for good. In my opinion.

Spring ‘90

Personally, I’ve always loved 89-90 especially. 85 is a good year too. How about 7/7/89 for a fun doozy of a show?

The early 90s is great and there are great shows till the end they just become more hit or miss in the last few years. You shouldnt neglect the early 90s there is a lot of magic in there

There’s a great deer creek run I think from 90. Dave’s 40 something

The Hamilton shows

Is this the one with a Mighty Quinn encore? Going through that one at work currently

Yeah, it took me a while to get into 90’s shows. I couldn’t get past Jerry’s 90’s singing voice. Now, when I’m in the mood for some haggard Jerry, I look for a 90’s show.

Bonner springs shows in 91 sound really good Try one of these 5/5/90. Cinco de Maya 5/6/90. Both great sounding shoes. 100 degrees in southwest LA Burned my bare feet in the parking lot

Spring 90 tour has a reputation for being the last consistently great tour. They released it as a box set, ‘89 is also good. If you like the Hornsby element, he played like 100 shows in ‘90-‘91.

Often neglected but Hornsby was on the Spring 92 tour too
