By request of Mike Perko (again), more of 9/13/93 - some highlights from set 1, and from set 2, the one-of-a-kind "space" jam built around a theme from Mike Oldfield's seminal 1973 instrumental Tubular Bells.

Spectrum ramblings

Great set . Considering that the fall and December shows of that year , where - at least on tape - kind of slow and pale . But the dead on tape sometimes was a complete different experience live . A concert live sometimes could be a complete blast . Example is the Montage Mtn show in 1998 TOO . The best Scarlet Fire i saw in 14 shows of that tour , but on tape it seems like just another S > F ( i recorded 6 shows that tour , not Scranton )

Additionally i saw the 1st two SLC shows in Feb 95 . Kind of slow shows that i remember played live . But the tapes sound killer , full of energy and essential tapes in anyone s collection . This probably differs from person to person .

9.22 at MSG is quite good on tape , especially the 2nd set with D Murray . At that show specifically it s very unfortunate ( if you hear that set at home ] , that Bobby cut guest Murray during the main Estimated ( middle ) jam , when D Murray was supposed to rock out and deliver his guest ' wealth ' .

The Jackaroe is exquisitely nice on this Spectrum tape , and Vince takes the Same thing and gives it a 5 star treatment . And the post space especially the ballad , ethereal .

Thank you dead.net

Thanks again!

Great set. Easy Answers flanked by Tubular Bells and Days Between. Only the Grateful Dead can get away this.

Thanks for posting these David!

Sweet sounding opener of Bucket > jackA > Same Thing. Jerry's guitar has that "Twangy" sound , which took some getting used to at the time. Now I think it was a cool tonal change it up.
Jam > Days Between is eerie, but will pass on cheezy answers.

Tubular Bells

Being a long time fan of Mike Oldfield thought this was great. Have fond memories of watching Mike Oldfield in a field in England summer 1980. Act before was Santana and afterwards The Beach Boys. That was really bizzare dancing to California surf music in a field wearing wellies
