OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was probably the best Dead show I’ve ever seen, and recorded, both in terms of set list and performance. This was my only Halloween show that I’d seen of the Dead, and the band was ON FIRE! After retiring ‘Help On The Way > Slipknot’ for so long it was nice to hear it return. This was my third ‘Dark Star’, and probably the best of the three, and was the only time I’d seen them do ‘Werewolves Of London’. It was quite appropriate for Halloween. Gary Duncan made a return from playing on the 27th and it was cool to see and hear him on ‘Spoonful’ and ‘Dark Star’. This was also the only time I’d seen Ken Kesey and that was really special. There was a guy going through the tapers section that night passing out little raised stick-on pumpkins for Halloween, so I took one and stuck it to the front of my D6. It’s still there!

I went to this show with my ex wife Nikki and my friend Dave. This was the night that I got flustered driving through Oakland going to the Coliseum and accidentally made a left turn onto the railroad racks before making a quick getaway. Hey, I never liked city driving! Dave laughed at me, of course.

When we were coming home, back to San Luis Obispo County, we stopped for a late meal at the Denny’s restaurant in Gilroy. I remember that there were two guys in the lobby talking loudly on big oversized cell phones of the day, and Dave looked at me and said, ‘What do you bet they’re talking to each other!’ Too funny.

We took our new ’91 Honda Civic sedan to this show and Dave was impressed with the cruise control on the way home through the Salinas Valley.

(Recorded/Transferred/ FLAC’d & Tagged By OldNeumanntapr) Recorded 3/4 Of The Way Between Stage And Repeater Stacks, On The Right Side. Cut Into Discs As You See Fit.

ONT Notes-
This show was so very emotional, being Bill’s tribute concert. I had mail order tickets to both the 10/27 and 10/31 shows, and recorded both of those in the taper section. 10/27/91 was the 1st show after Bill’s unfortunate accident, and 10/31/91 was most definitely the most powerful Dead show I’ve ever witnessed, with Ken Kesey coming out during Drums / Space. We had recorded Neil Young at the Bridge Benefit at Shoreline the night before the memorial show in the park. After the Bridge show I stayed the night in my VW bus parked in front of a friend of a friend’s place in Atherton. We got up the next morning and drove up to Golden Gate Park. Even early in the morning the crowds were terrible. This was the last trip that I had made in my restored ’67 VW camper bus. I retired it right after and it sat in the garage for a year before I sold it. I always thought that the Bill Graham memorial was a fitting ‘last ride’. I recorded the memorial show with my triple set of Nakamichi CM-300s->Sony TC-153SD cassette portable. I also ran my D6 so I could give masters to a friend. We were 3/4th of the way back between the stage and the repeaters, on the right side. (I shot some b&w photos with a Pentax MX and 50 mm f/1.7 lens. I was working as a darkroom tech at Photo Ad then, and made large proof sheets of my film on graphic arts paper after the show. I scanned some of the frames to put with the music files.) I remember thinking that it started of crowded and got progressively more packed with people as the day wore on. I think the Chronicle said something like 300,000 people in the park. I believe it! It reminded me of something that I saw on Sesame Street when I was a little kid in the early 70s. They took a large pickle jar and filled it with small stones. ‘Is it full? No, we can add more.’ And they poured in small ball bearings. ‘Is it full? No, we can add more’. Then they added sand, and then water. Finally it was full. The crowd at the Polo Fields that day brought back that memory, with more and more people pushing their way in. I remember all the bands that day and also Robin Williams who did some stand up comedy between sets. I also remember the plane that dropped flowers. The Dead closed the show, before the encores, with ‘Sunshine Daydream, having played ‘Sugar Magnolia (Bill’s favorite Grateful Dead song) to open the 10/27/91 show, to complete the piece. John Fogerty played with the Dead and sounded ragged, but good, but at least it was nice to hear him. It was only about two years before that he played with Bobby and Jerry at the Oakland Stadium AIDS Benefit. I remember thinking that there had been a lot of historical shows in the park at that spot and this was going to be another one. I’ll never forget it. 😦

Branford was one of the opening sets for the Dead’s 1990 New Year’s Eve show. I recorded all four shows of the New Years run that year with my newly-purchased Nakamichi CM 300s that I bought from my friend John Lech when he decided to buy Audio Technica AT-853a stealth cardioids. This was my second Grateful Dead New Years show, following the 1989 NYE show when Bonnie Raitt opened.

B&W photos: Pentax MX w/80-200 f/4.5-5.6 Maraxar Zoom Lens [T-Max 3,200 Pushed To 12,500 ASA] Shot From Tapers Section.

OldNeumanntapr Notes: This was the final night of my first four-night NYE run, and the second-to-last time that I used the Sony TC-153SD to master a show with. (The final time was the Bill Graham Memorial concert in Golden Gate Park in November of 1991.) This was probably the best of the NYE shows that I have recorded. Enjoy! I had my Pentax MX with me at this show and got some good photos from the tapers section, including a great shot of the bungee jumpers falling through the ceiling of the Coliseum at midnight. (Please don’t SELL it, it’s one of the best spur-of-the-moment shots I ever got.) I developed and printed the black & white film in the Cuesta College darkroom, when I was going to school there. These were the first shows that I used my newly-purchased, from my friend John, Nakamichi CM 300×3 set to record with.

I included a scan of all three of my New Year’s Eve ticket stubs together, though I wasn’t able to record the 1991 NYE show.
