The Grateful Dead storm into The Beacon Theatre in New York City for two nights. Then it's a quick jump over the lazy Hudson River to the Capitol Theatre in New Jersey for three more shows. Can the vibe inside the shows match the outside heat? Well, if it is summertime then the time is indeed right. People get ready: > With that, the white-gloved attendants remove the banner reading "1,541 Days since the last NYC Show" from the balcony and carry it to the concourse, where it is folded into a tight triangle and stored away, never to be used again. > As they do so, take a moment to wish each other a joyful bicentennial. While the nation is preparing for its journey into its second century, a throng of Grateful Dead fans has spilled onto the Upper West Side, along with a crew of misfits, hangers-on, freaks, psychopaths, and yours truly, who lick their lips in anticipation of the return of The Magnificent Seven: Jerry, Bob, Phil, Donna, Keith, Bill, and Mickey. > The NYC run kicks off with Cold Rain and Snow. It is a tale as old as time: emotional stagflation and trouble with the missus. Regardless of who's to blame, we sure as hell aren’t gonna be treated this way.

Turn On Your Lovelight 🎵 Encore: Brokedown Palace ═══🎙 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! Oh Boy the great East Coast Scarlet>Fire drought continues with a spirited Scarlet>Touch that doesn't quite take us to the promised land. Some spirited playing on our last night of the tour, but not getting the Fire sticks far longer than necessary. From the podcast: "In fact, there will be no Scarlet>Fire combinations until Cal Expo in May, one of only three in ’86, all performed in California. The Great East Coast Fire Drought ran from the Meadowlands, November 11, 1985, to Hampton, March 22, 1987. And hold on to your hats; the next Philly Fire on the Mountain will not occur until 18 months later, at The Spectrum on September 11, 1988. Then again, if your biggest problem in life is not catching the Dead playing Scarlet>Fire, it must be pretty good.

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! Last night of the tour and both the band and ourselves are starting to feel fatigued. The first set does little to alleviate this feeling, but is notable for the first ever Desolation Row which clocks in at over ten minutes and sung virtually flawlessly. Hopes are high for a nice closing second set From the podcast: > "Desolation Row is like taking a long walk along the beach while escaped circus freaks tell you their life stories. They are so captivating that we want to drop everything and join them at the end of the boardwalk. Given how the set keeps wobbling and shaking, this may be a good idea."

Some may bid it good riddance but not us. It is a bittersweet moment, which mey be eclipsed by the monumental Morning Dew out of Space. On the night of a partial lunar eclipse it is apt imagery. From the podcast: "So you gentlemen of a certain cut, gather one and all. It is time to lay down flowers, trinkets, and expressions of thanks, and to pay tribute to your master, the one who propelled you toward so many adventures, unimaginable lands, and incomprehensible life events. But no matter how far the journey, you know all ships must eventually return to port. And on this night, March 24, 1986, harbor lights will guide you home for the final time. The shoreline’s begging. Bittersweet as it may be, surrender the floor to Bob Weir one last time.
