I could probably end right there, but some of this tale should be written down. Tom Pinney had to teach and was supposed to go home to Syracuse and lend us his microphones. Earlier in the afternoon we had tried and been busted trying to sneak a keg of Moosehead into the Hilton. We had already had Seans 100 Watt Kenwood amplifier with very large speakers in the room all weekend. The party was essentially a continuation of the previous night's party, but being a Monday, several people were checking out of the hotel and some of our crew couldn't make the last night of the tour Monday show. We were all partying pretty heavily and Sean and Gary decided early on to not be part of the taping/blocking crew, so we covered for them. Due to the change in numbers, we were unable to secure a spot up front, putting the Beyer M88's on someone elses very tall stand, front row right rear corner of the board in the OTS 15 feet up. Ultimately Sean and Mike D were able to sneak the keg past security with the ol' GD two step after the show. This show is so well reviewed on archive.org and dead.net I will add just a few moments I recall. Of course, the building was electric, the last night of a long East Coast tour, having sold tour booklets wih a ticket for each show, although it was Easter weekend many people who had jobs or school could not be there. So the atmospere was loose and frenetic at the same time. Then the band decided to have some fun as essentially Jerry and Bobby's voices were pretty shot by this time. The Midnight Hour > Walking the Dog > Big Boss Man opening trio was as out there song selection wise as the boys had gotten in a while, even on this tour, which is historically recognized as a year when the Dead challenged themselves amid heavy drug use and management controversy. On the tape you can hear the crowds ecstatic response and this makes me glad we chose to wisely jack the microphones that high. While not the Oade's version or a soundboard, this recording gives a solid audience experience with the location perspective of soundboard OTS tonality. The first set also included another reading of Down in the Bottom > I Aint Superstitous which Bobby had really gotten down by the end. Our crew had extra exuberance that Tons of Steel was played "in honor of Gary's B-day". Set 2 was a metaphor for the entire tour. Talkin' about a revolution but landing in hell in a bucket. The band and crew were tired and sick and high as shit. The tour booklet holders for sure, and most heads who did only the three Philly shows were tired and sick and high as shit. Easter weekend, Gary's birthday, Grateful Dead weekend in Philly, cherry topped off by a Monday tour closer. "Mama Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home." They played a messy Revolution, followed by a standard mid Eighties pre-drums sequence, each song losing steam as it progressed. Poor Jerry's voice, a froggy whisper, could barely eek out Revolution. They soldiered on as did the faithful in the Spectrum through some steady readings of familiar tunes ending with a Lovelight which was almost more of the cry in the dark that the lyrics suggest than the anthem it became in the Eighties. "Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart| And you left me standin' in the dark, shine your love for me was dark". The Spectrum, the audience, and the band were 'tore apart' and 'Brokedown' for this tour ender. If you were there you will never forget it. length expanded size cdr WAVE problems fmt ratio filename 1:30.000 25920044 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7432 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t01.flac 4:18.280 74384684 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7719 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t02.flac 3:25.520 59189804 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7630 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t03.flac 5:03.920 87529004 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7534 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t04.flac 1:13.867 21273644 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7079 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t05.flac 2:51.120 49282604 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7603 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t06.flac 5:35.453 96610604 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6811 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t07.flac 6:15.613 108176684 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.3831 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t08.flac 8:51.560 153089324 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.5523 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t09.flac 4:10.440 72126764 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7621 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t10.flac 4:03.453 70114604 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7478 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t11.flac 4:18.680 74499986 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7656 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s1t12.flac 0:59.507 17137964 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7114 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t01.flac 5:26.440 94014764 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7489 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t02.flac 6:12.507 107281964 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7670 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t03.flac 6:00.333 103776044 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7612 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t04.flac 10:23.400 179539244 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7451 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t05.flac 9:16.027 160135724 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7533 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t06.flac 7:31.960 130164524 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7319 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t07.flac 12:22.307 213784364 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6921 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t08.flac 4:52.400 84211244 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7456 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t09.flac 6:22.653 110204204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7323 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t10.flac 3:43.760 64442924 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7517 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t11.flac 7:52.973 136216364 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7487 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t12.flac 5:31.653 95516090 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7433 gd1985-04-08beyerm88s2t13.flac 138:13.827 2388623168 B 0.7129 (25 files)
