Shoreline Amphitheater

Mountain View, California

The boys kick off another great night at Shoreline with Touch of Grey. The mix and Jerry’s vocals are a little rough in the opener. But by Peggy-O two songs later – with GSET in between – Jerry is locked in and the sound, especially on Charlie Miller’s rework of the soundboard, is as good as it gets. After Same Thing, Vince adds some hot keys to Jerry’s brilliant guitar work on Friend of the Devil. A crisp Easy Answers follows before a gorgeously melancholic So Many Roads that just might be the best version of the tune the Dead ever sent. The set then closes with a rocking Promised Land, everyone trading blows on the Chuck Berry classic.

Scarlet> Fire brings us back to the action, followed up by a Estimated> Terrapin for the classic foursome. The playing is inventive and exploratory throughout with a real jazzy bent, no more so than in the latter half of Estimated as they wind their way to Terrapin. Jerry uses a wide array of MIDI to good effect, and both his and Bobby’s vocals are fairly sharp. The jam after Terrapin leaves the theme long behind, the rest of the band finally ceding the stage to the drummers. A dark and brooding Space gives way to a sizzling Watchtower, which itself transitions into Attics of My Life. The Attics is beautiful with lovely harmonies, though it, like the Watchtower, is marred by a few nasty crackles in the sound system. The set ends with a juicy Sugar Mags, and then is followed by a somewhat lackluster Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds encore. Still, this is another gem from the boys’ later years.
