A LoloYodel AUDIO (soundboard) upgrade from a recent video post by MrMojoInco (see credits below). Virtually 1 year before the "end". I assume that the guys & gals of the "Lazy Cow" & "Less Than Face" crews had done their "cycle" (essentially from 1988 to 1993) of the GD and had stopped video taping shows ... Few audience video's were shot by 1994 ... perhaps understandable but still thousands showed and appreciated, even the beginning of the "end". AUDIO SOUNDBOARD (added by LoloYodel) : "sbd.fishman.14839.sbeok.shnf" VIDEO : (stage right and from the nose bleed section) possibly/probably taped by "mrmojoinco" (straight from the Hi-8 master transferred in 2015). "...The quality is good if not great at that distance. Dead Heads love to dance and they get in the way and bump me often". That original video was ocassionally, shaky/off target ... a few "screen" shots ... When it's in focus however, it's a cool, clean, copy ! & Thanks ! Set One : 0:00 Picasso Moon 6:56 Sugaree 18:38 Minglewood Blues 26:32 Lazy River Road 33:51 My Masterpiece (w/ Weir on acoustic guitar) 39:38 Brown Eyed Women 45:55 Cassidy Set Two : 0:00 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 5:54 Samba In The Rain 14:17 Playing in the Band ~ 22:23 Terrapin Station ~ end jam ~ 41:26 drums ~ 52:44 space ~ 0:00 end space ~ The Other One ~ 11:11 Wharf Rat ~ 22:27 One More Saturday Night 27:41 encore : Knockin' on Heaven's Door LoloYodel Notes : Lucy in the Skies : only 19 times played (between 1993 & 1995), here was the 9th (and only 4 times played in 1994). Well ... extremely divergent views on the music & show : "This was the worst show I ever had the displeasure of going to. You can find it at upmyass.com" ... or "while the entire 94 summer tour was fair-to-midland at best, there were some definite highlights, and this show was one of them" "I hung back with the taper section. Could not figure out whether I wanted to watch the band, the great moon or the Chicago skyline. Lovely." "Picasso started off, and soon after began to pick up speed and momentum . And gave in to ... the best sugaree in 94. BE Woman and Cassidy shine like gold. ... those first few notes of Lucy in the Sky, made the 60,000 plus folks in Chicago 'wake up', and react in such a way that was obviously orgasmic. That 2nd set continued nicely into a Terrapin that has to be heard on tape. The transition between Playin' and Terrapin is intriguing.... "Jerry was on his game that night! And u could not miss him in that bright red T-shirt! (Lolo's Note : the shirt was BLUE but it depends on your prism ...)
