Steve returned on the stage,to the audience delight,for the final two songs,the third time ever played,"Baba O'Reily into "Tomorrow Never Knows." Heavily blues influenced, "Spoonful" into a historic first "Other One" into a strong,well sung eleven minute "Morning Dew" to close the second set. Second set was an unbelievable 10 songs, plus 2 song encore, that included 5 songs (with encore) with Steve Miller, who was the opening act all three days. I attended each year at Sam Boyd('91-'95) and this year was by far the best in my opinion.įirst set high-light would have to be "Must have been the roses." Then the heavenly "Bird Song" followed by a strong Bob Weir "Queen Jane" and "Picasso Moon." I think it was like 50,000 people or something. A great ending to the largest show in Nevada's history at the time. The second set altogether is actually pretty awesome, apart from some unadventurous transitions. You're in a jam band here, dude: shut up a little. Lesh got really pissed off at Steve Miller at one point during Dew for drowning out other players and stepping on leads, and put his finger to his lips and gave Miller a great big public "Shush!" That was weird but classic. Garcia simply didn't even TRY to play his guitar during Picasso: he just grinned and shrugged hopelessly as he sang the backing vocals, 'cause why play when nobody can hear you? This was surely intended to be an over the top show, and a listen to Scarlet/Fire, where everything was finally going right, is a taste of what the whole thing could have been. Sure there are some terrible sound problems. And due certainly to Mr Miller at least in part, this show impresses a lot more than it did at first.
