Thirty-Three

Three shows today, can't help it...

First, night three at the Orpheum in 1976.

Then, night two at the Greek in 1984.

For the last, we jump to 1990 and return to newly-renamed Foxboro Stadium (formerly Schaefer Stadium, then Sullivan Stadium), home of the New England Patriots.

SHORTS!

They sure have been a great team for a while now.  I was born and raised a Packer fan, so...yeah. Fuck 'em.

Yet this is a great show, and it's always worthwhile to think about the label of "patriot."  What does it mean to you?  Again, the whole "freedom" thing, you know?

Also, I read a comment from a 1990 show the other day in which the author claimed the Dead were subtly trying to shake some of the expanded scene which had landed on shows on the late eighties by making a summer tour full of "one-offs" - not staying anywhere long enough to attract the huge crowd of hangers-on, the fringe that in some people's view sank the ship.  Interesting.

Anyway. Enjoy the show.
