Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have Grateful Dead music covering 15 years, from 1974, 1984, and 1989.
Our first stop this week is on the Wall Of Sound summer tour, from 7/27/74 in Roanoke, VA, where we have this music from the end of the second set: U.S. Blues > The Promised Land ; Brokedown Palace ; Not Fade Away > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad > Johnny B. Goode.
Next is the start of the second set from 7/22/84 at the Ventura County Faigrounds, located along the ocean between Santa Barbara and LA. From this show we have Samson And Delilah ; Ship Of Fools ; I Just Want To Make Love To You > Man Smart (Woman Smarter); Terrapin Station. This is one of only four versions of I Just Want to Make Love To You, spanning almost thirty years (one in 1966, two in 1984, one in 1995).
Lastly this week is the end of the show from 7/17/89 at Alpine Valley, the show that made up the DVD Downhill From Here. From this show we have Space > The Wheel > Gimme Some Lovin' > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad > Not Fade Away, We Bid You Goodnight.
