Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 So I'm scrolling through the Archive looking for well-reviewed, never-heard Dead shows, and I stumble across 87-03-03 (a couple of jokers gave the show five stars), which I've been grimacing through for pretty much every song. The Iko is especially painful. So is the Saint of Circumstance (you can hear Bobby getting really pissed off). Jerry just about lost a verse on Terrapin. I've still got my fingers crossed for the rest of this one.I'm sure that's not as bad as it might get - and hey, it's the bad bits that make the good bits glow especially bright, can't have one without the other with this sort of thing, and all that - but just for future reference, can I get some good tips on shows that might best be reserved for their comedic (or grimace) value? Or do these just go down the memory hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I can't remember the exact date off the top of my head, but there was a show in Kansas City in 1985...Bobby sounded absolutely smashed. Couldn't understand a word he sang on at least 3 songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 holy crap, booche has a tape, i think it's also from about 87, where booby's guitar is hilariously out of tune. when we first heard it years ago we figured it was some sort of spacey effect (we dosed a lot back then), but when we listened to it a couple of years ago on the way to TO for a Gov't Mule show we almost went off the road from laughing so hard at it...booche, any thoughts?

MarcO Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I've never heard it but 8/24/85 has long been regarded as an absolutely terrible show.http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=11644&PHPSESSID=995deff645cd0cb0c5ffe2d4f95db478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palms Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Could anything be worse than the Phish show in 1993 at the Concert Hall in Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) As exciting as it was for me to see Bob Dylan perform in my fair city, his concert at Kingston Ontario's Memorial Centre 05/30/90 was dreadful. The show was sold-out, but the Memorial Centre's drab acoustics along with the building's naturally dank atmosphere sucked the life out of Dylan and the crowd. Also, seeing G.E. Smith's smug face in person made me violent. Sue Medley opened... missed her. Edited April 18, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
