Announcing Spring 1990 (The Other One)
"If every concert tells a tale, then every tour writes an epic. Spring 1990 felt that way: an epic with more than its share of genius and drama, brilliance and tension. And that is why the rest of the music of that tour deserves this release, why the rest of those stories need to be heard." - Nicholas G. Meriwether
Some consider Spring 1990 the last great Grateful Dead tour. That it may be. In spite of outside difficulties and downsides, nothing could deter the Grateful Dead from crafting lightness from darkness. They were overwhelmingly triumphant in doing what they came to do, what they did best — forging powerful explorations in music. Yes, it was the music that would propel their legacy further, young fans joining the ranks with veteran Dead Heads, Jerry wondering "where do they keep coming from?" — a sentiment that still rings true today, a sentiment that offers up another opportunity for an exceptional release from a tour that serves as transcendental chapter in the Grateful Dead masterpiece.
With Spring 1990 (The Other One), you'll have the chance to explore another eight complete shows from this chapter, the band elevating their game to deliver inspired performances of concert staples (“Tennessee Jed” and “Sugar Magnolia”), exceptional covers (Dylan’s “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and the band’s last performance of the Beatles’ “Revolution”) and rare gems (the first “Loose Lucy” in 16 years) as well as many songs from Built To Last, which had been released the previous fall and would become the Dead’s final studio album. Also among the eight is one of the most sought-after shows in the Dead canon: the March, 29, 1990 show at Nassau Coliseum, where Grammy®-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis sat in with the group. The entire second set is one continuous highlight, especially the breathtaking version of “Dark Star.”
For those of you who are keeping track, this release also marks a significant milestone as now, across the two Spring 1990 boxed sets, Dozin At The Knick, and Terrapin Limited, the entire spring tour of 1990 has been officially released, making it only the second Grateful Dead tour, after Europe 1972, to have that honor.
Now shipping, you'll want to order your copy soon as these beautiful boxes are going, going, gone...
From the GarciaLive Vol 4 release:
Caveat: GarciaLive Volume Four celebrates an era of the Jerry Garcia Band known for its sweet, soulful and expansive performances. This exemplary performance, as was common for the time, extended beyond the bounds of the original ¼” analog reels missing the final few measures of “Midnight Moonlight,” but is otherwise complete. Listen comfortably with our promise that every effort was made to produce this performance for release in a manner which honors the spirit of its creation.
looks TOO good...
...a couple Shakedown's and Pocky Way's. Nice....A good measure of Crazy Fingers and a sprinkling of some Throwing Stones...also nice. Plus, only one encore repeat (Knockin'). Oh yeah, did I mention there's a rare (at the time) High Time @ Nassau? Or a sweet Althea in Atlanta? What about the Birdsong->Let It Grow one-two punch to end the first set @ The Knick? Oh yeah, did I mention there's also a Dark Star lurking in there? Included, for your listening pleasure,are a pair of 2nd set Cumberland's! Lot's of cowboy songs (The first release had zero). Dylan covers galore...the first Weight...the first Loose Lucy in awhile...the last Revolution...the magic was evident most every night. The band was on their game. This box/tour is pretty much a no-brainer....think ahead folks....
Thank you, Star Dark...
...for the heads up about Terrapin Limited. I was able to snag one before they ran out.
Your 'recon by fire' method of adding to the cart is pretty clever.
totally off-topic
Moe.down doesn't want Zane and the bus. What's up with that?
Did no one else
see Star Dark's avatar last night? It's gone now, but it was a tiny pic of Dave's Vol. 11. Unless it was a masterful fake, the show is 7/10/81 St. Paul.
The second set jam looks like this:

Well, that's truly disappointing.
Where did you find it?

Off Topic
Off topic The Black Angels-Directions To See A Ghost. Great album. Also Slowdive announced North American Tour this Fall. Wow! Looks like relatively small clubs. Recommend checking this out. If Phish tours this Fall I hope it doesn't interfere with this one.
Bremen: PITB
Just posted... preview of tomorrow night.Awesome.
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/watch-grateful-dead-groove-on-…
Thanks Brian
Great clip from Bremen. Hilarious, though, how the camera guy doesn't seem to figure out until at least halfway through that it is JERRY who is making all those guitar noizes. LOTS of footage of Bobby chording though. "It can't possibly be that quiet bearded fellow who is standing there staring into space..."
DP 11 Speculation...'81 I hope
I would absolutely love the cryptic 7/10/81 tease for DP 11 to somehow be true. That show is one of my all time favorites...picture perfect and creative setlist, and great playing. 1981 is such a great, apparently underrated year...3/6/81 anybody? Best Let it Grow>Deal ever, and an amazing Estimated>Frankin's Tower.On another note...anybody remember a couple of years ago on the Dead website when there was a "wordle" type thing of show dates of all kinds of potential DP releases. Would love to find it on the "way back machine".
First box set 1990
This box set is selling on Amazon for 700. how can you go wrong with the new one at 239...
Claney
Yeah, I was pretty tickled when the camera finally zoomed in on Jerry after 5 or so minutes...
And hey man, don't forget -- if you are still interested in hearing this rare & different OOP Akron/Family stuff I burned for you, all I need is your mailing address. No strings attached, just some free weird music for you. Let me know if you changed your mind, I'll pass it on to someone else.
Peace,
Neb
Totally Caved
Couldn't resist this- tried really hard to fight, vote with dollars against limited editions and recreated ticket stubs blah blah blah - but I know I would be kicking myself… Time to just go along for the ride and be a thankful deadhead for what the vault throws at me going forward
I really liked the first 1990 box and it gets repeat listenings.
Well nothing left to do but smile as they say- and wait for the goods.
re; mpace....
...see, I told you. As I posted a couple days ago, I was on the fence too, but realized that I would kick my own ass down the road if I didn't step up. Looking forward to the release for sure. BTW, with different spices and imagination, Top Ramen can be a different meal every day!!
Could use help from Marye, Cust.Service, or anybody with info ?
I took the big plunge and ordered the Spring Box 2 ,, over the weekend.
I received the email order confirmation shortly after placing the order. I checked my bank account on Monday or Tuesday and the money $275 was withdrawn and stated pending. Also showing a record of the transaction from dead.net in my recent transactions.
I paid with a checking/debit card and checked my account again today and the funds were added back to my account and the dead.net transaction from my list of recent transactions was missing.
I talked to my bank and the rep said she anticipates dead.net to post the Sale and then the money will be withdrawn again.
Has this happened to others ? My fear is my order not going through and then it sells out. I would like to clear this up ASAP. If you read this Marye, I am willing to send you my order number and all critical info necessary. I also emailed cust. Service and waiting for a response.
@Vguy72
Yup… that was the last splurge before the little one's daycare will start. So now I have to start saving for next year's box and have Santa get the Dave's Subscription. Plus you never know when a video/cd ala sunshine daydream will come out!
Well its all good because this fall will be awesome. Show #4 and #8 look intense- can't wait to combine with the last box and go on tour. Only wish they could find some more Terrapin Limited and/or release digital downloads of it and formally combining the scattered Knickerbocker show just for us completists out there.
Anyway I'm more of a spam and rice guy vs Ramen- time to survive like the good ol days!
Neb!
Oh man, Neb, I am so sorry! Lamest excuses I have - including, my wife started a farm (CSA) this summer (really) and it is great, but has made things, uh, shall we say, busier than usual.
I actually have your White Denim for you too... I'll PM you, even though I don't normally look at or think about the PMs. I think I had your email and can't find it (more excuses!)
Anyway, talk to you soon...
Forget Spring 1990 TOO...
...buy a couple of $25 GD bottle openers instead. Just two left. Then sell each for $125 on eBay and take a swing at the box with your proceeds. Ain't math fun? :o)
mbarilla
That is EXACTLY the way it works. I called customer service and they told me the same thing... when I ordered DaP #10 Thelma... I saw the pending transaction there.. then it disappeared. I freaked out. I knew it was sold out and I feared that I lost my copy!I called and they told me they do this to verify the card and funds... then they will charge it officially afterwards..
don't worry dude. It's all good... and that's the way it's supposed to work.
the merch stuff is too much (merch)
tote bags and what not
do people really buy that stuff?
MUSIC
wooden stamp box set???
with the (deathless...WOW) horsie?
$34????? HUHHH????
enough with that stuff, and release a WHOLE BUNCH OF MUSIC!!!
as various members of the GD have said, "it's a music scene first".
Looking forward to the movie tomorrow,
stoltzfus
Brianhahne, thanks for the info, much appreciated
My concern was raised and brought to my attention from a cancelled order off another website, which was placed yesterday for way less than the Spring 90' ,, approx ($50). I purchased CSNY1974, which I believe is a Rhino production and the Boarding house 1973 Old and in the Way.
24 hours later after the email order confirmation from other site, I received an email stating my order was cancelled. My bank is saying the merchant cancelled my CSNY and dead.net just needs to post the sale to make it official. I have sufficient funds and all info was input correctly, so I was just a little nervous. I know the Spring 90' will sell out and didn't want to take any chances.
Within the last few days I have placed 3 online orders, from 3 separate sites. 1 apparel site that has shipped, and 2 music. The 2 music orders are leaving me nervous. I'm currently in Brasil, so calling customer Service would be a pretty penny. So email and this board have been a great resource, thanks for any input from all the Heads out there !!
Brian crazy huh...
As soon as any of this dead hits Amazon it goes up fast...700 for the first 1990 box set and 325 for Winterland 77...crazy
Cellar Dweller Productions
Does anyone know how to get ahold of these guys?Thanks
Rock on
@Mbarrilla -- That is normal -- Don't worry
That your account was charged and then the money was returned is how it always works. Think of your pre-order full payment more as a deposit. Dead-Rhino just needs the transaction info so they can charge you before actually shipping.
It happened to me like that every time.
CSNY 1974
thanks to whomever commented about the amazon deal for the CSNY 74, just 10 bux for the single disc compilation, but the auto-rip (immediate download) actually contains all the audio from the 3 disc set!!! ok... so no video and the deep cuts are merely mp3 quality (but they sound great), still a great deal,
re CSNY - Thanks y'all
Got the single, etc.
Just ordered Spring '90 TOO. If I have both boxes, Dozin, TerpLtd and w/outa net, do I have the entire Spring tour? Someone mentioned about needing Postcards from a Hanging. I'd rather get full shows than snippets...
Bummed I'm going to miss meet up at the movies. I have to come in to work at midnight tonight to reconfigure some computer storage for a major hospital application.
Need to be well rested - we have a short window as Bobby would say: "to get it just right"!

Brian good luck finding those boxes...I got mine last Christmas here for 99.00 looked it up yesterday on amazon 325.00 wish I had bought 10 of them, better than the stock market..lol
44moose
Thanks for the info - guess I'll be one song short.
TPTB - kind of misreprenting the truth:
"For those of you who are keeping track, this release also marks a significant milestone as now, across the two Spring 1990 boxed sets, Dozin At The Knick, and Terrapin Limited, the ENTIRE spring tour of 1990 has been officially released, making it only the second Grateful Dead tour, after Europe 1972, to have that honor."
With that marketing line, they could've found space at the end of one of the first sets to put in Desolation Row and/or One More Saturday Night.
Shouldn't they put in fine print: "with the additional purchase of Without a Net and Postcards From the Hanging, you too can own the whole Spring 1990 tour..."
Too bad there's not a way for those that bought the box to have a free download of those two songs...
3/24/90
I just recently put the whole show together even though I've been wanting to do it for a while. I've had all the parts needed but I just kept putting it off. Its pretty awesome hearing the whole show in sequence, Im glad I finally took the time to make the whole show.
3-24-90
The part that bothers me most about the way that is chopped up is less about the number of purchases needed and more about the fact that that show is one of the top four shows of the whole tour (I'd put it behind Branford at #2 but that's just me) and deserves to be in one unit.
winterland boxes 73 & 77
I have emailed w/ dr. rhino in the last few days - he said that they will be restocked but not sure of the timing. dead.net replied when asked the same question "2-3 weeks" is the usual time it takes on the restocking.They were not limited/ numbered editions and there will be more listed for sale once they get them in stock.
I hope :)
@FennarioXRDS.....
looks like your Denver Road Trips is arriving today
Movie Night
It's about time! Can't wait to see what might be announced
CSNY 74
Thanks so much for the amazon tip. I was waffling on pulling the trigger on the big box, but this is a great compromise. Have to imagine this won't last forever seeing the mp3 only edition is listed for $28.95. Someone at the Amazon money machine will be terminated for sure. Enjoy the movie everyone!
3/24/90
DJMac520 hit the nail on the head. It does not make much sense that what many of us would rank as the 2nd best show on the tour has to be stitched together like a Frankenstein monster. I will probably finally bite the bullet and buy Postcards of the Hanging before the new box arrives so that I can listen to the officially released versions of the complete tour in order, but it's annoying. First world problems, I guess...
Rdevil, I'm still lurking out here and hope you enjoy Tribute to Jack Johnson. Fantastic album, and money well spent!
Digging CSNY 74
I'm really enjoying the 1974 Tour set from CSNY. This is some great smooth music, really good sound too. They were joking about the 18 minute gap in the Nixon Tapes. If anyone is one the fence about picking this up, go for it. It really is worth the money. I'm going to see them play two shows next month, so this was great timing.
I'm guessing that the title for DP11 may be unveiled at the movie tonight. If so, we should know soon enough. I'm loving all these vault releases, great time to be a Deadhead and classic jam fan.
Peace
