Dead of the Day: 07-06-1990

Cardinal Stadium

Louisville, Kentucky

Again, we do not have too many shows for early July, but we do have a stupendous one from 1990, one of Brent’s last with the band. Hell In A Bucket gets the boys rolling, but it is during the Sugaree that comes next that things really start to shine. Brent delivers a pleading, emotional Easy To Love You afterwards with a fine Peggy-O following it up. Then Bobby comes out with a stellar Desolation Row, which gets its proper due in a twelve-minute version. A few tunes later, the boys – especially Jerry – offer up a sweet little Ramble On Rose before seeing the set out with a solid Music Never Stopped.

The second set opens with a rambunctious China Cat Sunflower that heads into a rousing rocker of a I Know You Rider. Brent’s keys come out in the second half of that tune, and they are there to stay throughout the second set. Man Smart, Woman Smarter romps out next as the boys come together for some great vocal play over the last few minutes. Then, Standing On The Moon makes its appearance, providing a brilliant transition and bringing forth a beautiful tune and melancholy vision. From there, the band segues into He’s Gone, with Jerry streaking off and Brent matching him with some excellent fills that lead into a stupendous jam. Bobby plays a prominent role throughout this portion, which he brings around to an Other One theme for quite some time. Instead of going into the thundering first verse, though, the purposeful exploration heads off into a rhythm heavy, driving chasm that could only lead into Drums and then Space. Out the other side, a heady, intense Truckin’ emerges, flowing with so much energy, which then deposits us at the steps of Wharf Rat. Resplendent as always, the music and emotional delivery of the tune can almost make you forget about the depressingly sad character at its center, but the tune is always welcome. Then the boys see out the set with two high energy songs in Going Down The Road Feeling Bad and Around and Around. But they come back out for a lovely It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.

The bonus footage on View From the Vault includes the incredible Standing On The Moon> He’s Gone> Jam from this show.
