FadeawayMama Tried >Big RiverMight As Well ═══🎙 CONCERT ANALYSIS The Grateful Dead welcome spring with six shows at two of the East Coast’s most renowned venues: the Hampton Coliseum and the Philadelphia Spectrum. Packed with energy and featuring a number of bust-outs, the tour was unforgettable, including the legendary “Box of Rain” in Hampton. However, a closer look suggests this might not have been either the highlight or the best show of the tour. Make sure to check out all six shows! The best first set of the tour? Could be, as we get more bust outs and a an ultra-rare Willie and the Hand Jive. The Dead are on fire from the first song. How about that Deal! From the podcast "Jerry is not cheap with the jamming on this version either, regardless of set placement. It has already obliterated last summer’s version in rainy Hershey; he solos with intent. “Behold the heat!” he says. This is ferocious and mean, meant to strip away lingering Hampton memories, as if to say, “The time is now, the place is here, and the friends with you are all that exists. You are a single point of light, and our shared time is the only element occupying this space.” Check it out. 📚 LINKS & RESOURCES 🔗 Follow along with music on: Relisten 🔗 Navigate The Series 🗺 NAVIGATE THIS TOUR 🎯 New to the show?
