Reviews
This was by far the worst Dead/Grateful Dead show I have ever seen. The band sounded unfocused and timid throughout, with a few notable exceptions. They didn't seem to be communicating very well musically, either. The setlist was bizarre, and vocal misses and clams abounded.
Warren Haynes singing "Easy Wind" was an early highlight. "Off to a great start," I thought. Nope. "Dear Mr. Fantasy" was decent, and "Stagger Lee" was more compelling than any version of it I had heard from the Grateful Dead, but that's kind of like going to a Chinese restaraunt and having a fairly tasty hamburger. Next highlight was "Iko Iko," of all things. Mickey was testifyin'!
We anticipated a raging second set to make up for the first set, but the boys dished out "The Weight" (yawn), "Peggy-O" (double yawn) and a slow "Friend of the Devil." Ouch, my jaw hurts from all that yawning! "She Said She Said," however, was simply incredible. Struggling out of the mire of the dying jam following "FOTD" like a sponge dinosaur breaking free from its gelatin capsule, "She Said(squared)" built to an intense and utterly gripping fury due primarily to Haynes's efforts. "Deep Elem," okay, it's funky and tight. "Corrina?" Oh, God, here we go again.
All of a sudden, the opening fanfare of "Help" comes smashing from the sound system. It and the "Slipknot!" that follow are loose and sloppy, but now the band (finally!) is playing with some determination. That Good Ol' (Grateful) Dead intense sloppiness has arrived at long last, and by golly it does sound good! "Frank" is downright kickin', and is a great way for the band to exit the stage.
Encore time. The boys offer up "Unbroken Chain" as an apology for the mostly abysmal showing they put us through. It's not the greatest "Unbroken Chain," but the Dead have finally come to life at the very end of the evening. Apology accepted, guys. You know that we can take the bad with the great.
