Review:

On this day in 1989 the Grateful Dead played at Hampton Coliseum for the second night of their now-famous pair of shows there, billed as “Formerly The Warlocks.” The sudden change to the group’s original thaumaturgic name was part of their larger logistical efforts to diminish what had become a roving sea of Dead Heads and partygoers to their concerts, an enduring psychedelic scene that had grown enormously since Jerry Garcia’s near-death experience in 1986 and the subsequent mainstream success of In The Dark and its hit single, “Touch Of Grey,” in 1987. The thousands of extra people invading towns by then was becoming a major issue for some locals and the authorities, along with the occasional problems such gigantic party gatherings outside the venues could precipitate. So, in light of several incidents the previous year that resulted in the Dead being banned from the Coliseum, these October dates in Hampton were their first “stealth” shows to maintain a low profile and curb the traveling circus. There were no mail-order tickets and the concerts were announced about a week before they occurred. Additionally, per a signed letter by the band that was sent out to fans and forwarded to media outlets, no vending or camping was allowed on the tour. The strategy seemed to work overall. While tons of people still managed to show up for the festivities, there were no troubles in Hampton that year and the Dead would return for two more shows in 1992.

Now regarding the music from this evening, this was not just another well played fall ’89 show from a great tour; October 9 in Hampton would prove to be one of the Dead’s most historically significant shows of their career. The Warlocks moniker was important, for sure, but adding to the show’s mystique was the epic return of “Dark Star” since its last performance five years earlier. The audience reaction on this recording says it all and can barely be contained, as fans cheer wildly for a whole minute before Jerry comes in with the first verse, where they erupt into cheers again. They play “Dark Star” for almost twenty minutes, replete with new MIDI effects and some ominous deep-dives through sonic interstellar space, a real beast of a version. Out of the following “Drums/Space” segment the crowd gets treated to an ultra rare performance of Reverend Gary Davis’s “Death Don’t Have No Mercy” blues number, hearkening back to 1969 and the Live/Dead album. Then we get yet another revival for the encore, “Attics Of My Life,” the melancholic Garcia/Hunter ballad from American Beauty, last played on 10/28/72. Brent Mydland now contributes to the vocal harmonies on this haunting rendition. Also worth mentioning is that the show’s opener, “Feel Like A Stranger,” would eventually become the first song on their 1990 live album, Without A Net. . . . We are pleased to offer up this magical night on its 33rd anniversary as a newly forged matrix, using John Cutler’s 24-track recording mixed with Ted Mattes’s superb audience tape, gratefully presented here as Volume 144.
