  • "Box Of Rain's return to the live repertoire in 1986 after a 13 year absence was one of the most welcome re-births of a Dead song. Since its March 20, 1986 return in Hampton, VA, Box Of Rain was a song that could appear anywhere in the show, sometimes opening the second set (as it does here), sometimes an encore, occasionally ending a first set, random middle of the first set placement, and even an occasional show-opener. Box Of Rain would be the last song the Grateful Dead ever played." - David Lemieux

      @adamhowardschneider357 Před 3 lety +2

      My first Dead show (a few years after this) was probably the single most impactful musical event in MY life as well. I'm not a jamband dude per se but nothing changed my life more than experiencing the Dead at MSG from the skybox directly across the stage. I barely knew their songs and a friend's mom had a pair and said friend's gf backed out at the last minute, paving the way for a love affair with the GD and the magic/camaraderie that followed them wherever they went. I find myself here today after a songwriters' circle I host weekly on Zoom and one of my talented colleagues told me that I 'can't' end a song on (sorry for musical jargon if you're not familiar) a suspended chord, and coincidentally I had on a GD shirt and my response was, "the band on my shirt ends one of their most precious songs on one!" HAHA apologies for the novel, I'm getting misty eyed just typing this... I am so fortunate to have seen Jerry about 20 times as a teenager.

    This might be the peak of the band.

      Must say those 89-91 GDP stadium releases are outstanding.
      I think they're showing another one at Meet Up At The Movies or whatever it's called.

    I love the Scarlet Begonias from this set and then at a point this also became my favorite Box of Rain. I think because it's messy. And the song demands some imperfection to be perfect if that makes sense.
