( GDCD 4047 ) : '92 Tour ! ... & still Red-Hot !! Live-Dead !!! The ' Latest-Ever ! ' Pick-By-Dick ! from 1992 !! featuring the Fun ! & Musically-Impressive !! Winter Tour '92 run at -- Where else ? ... but The Good Ol' Oakland Coliseum !!! - in Oakland, California !!!!! Grate ! Times for All !!! . . . Loyal G.D. Fans ! We've all got our memories, right ? Tour, the Road, Shows, Friends, States, Venues, Cities, and the " sometimes " question that I would at times either " ask " - or would be " asked " by other fellow Fans, at least in my Crew ! .... " Wait a minute ? What ' State ' ?? are We In Again " ??? Ha !!!!!!!!!! Classic. Yep, I admit that I have asked that question - without question ! And in all fairness, Back East - some of those borders are pretty darn close to each other, right ? Am I digging myself a hole here ?? Hilarious stuff ... But out West, and in California ! - the Land & Home !! of The Grateful Dead !!! Well ... the fact is - that you Never ! had to ask that question in Oakland. The Venue so-many Dead Fans considered " Home " - or, at least " Home away from Home " ! Once you touched that 580, 880, or whichever route - you knew that you were over 1/2 way there - to see the Boys Play ! -- in The Coliseum !!! Well, I've got to admit ... as when I caught wind of this release, I had a grin ear to ear - as heck, this run just still seemed like Yesterday ! And my goodness was it a Fun-One !! And Musically ? The Boys way-more than stood the test - as keep in mind that Garcia was very-fresh at this point in time during this Winter Tour '92, as he had taken a little time off, as so had the rest of the Band. So naturally with this Crew, that means Hawaii & good stuff like that ! But Jerry, he felt a little exhausted in the Summer of '92 - think Reno / J.G.B., etc. - and it was definitely time for a ' break ' ... no Fall Tour '92, as a result -- and unfortunately too ... that meant no Veneta, Oregon " 3rd Decadenal Field Trip "... Ouch ?!? But ... once Halloween '92 ! & the Jerry Garcia Band !! rolled-around ... " Jerry was Back " !!! And even asked us, " So, How You'all Been ??! ". Real-Awesome ... So in essence, this '92 Winter Tour was really a " Mini " Return ! of the Grateful Dead, if I may. And since I caught 3-Shows on this 5-Show run, I can assure you that things were fresh & creative - as everyone was feeling well, rested, groovy, and generally really-great ! Hey, even the Fans need a little break once in a while, right ? Well, then again ... Ha !! But, as far as the 12/16 Show - Dick & I are most-certainly in agreement, as if you had to ' pick-one ' from that Oakland run, I'd have to say that I would agree. Though I do remember very-well, vividly - in fact ... after the first few Shows of this run, we were trying to decide which show was the Hottest, and it was pretty tough ! You know, late-night - pre-show / next-day type-stuff in the East Bay ... Bezerkeley, in fact ! Ooops, as it looks like I just accidentally slipped a " z " in mentioning one of my former schools. Ha ! Pretty classic ... And, another thing that we really dug was the emergence of some of the New Song Material ! - and the West Coast could / would often work as the ' Proving-Ground ' to give it a Good Ol' " Test-Ride " - with mellower Crowds, at least in the opinions of some. And of course, this was the Dark Sta r! night that was selected, which I believe was the 1st Dark Star ! on a " Dick's Picks " that was not in the 1970's !!! Pretty-cool when you really think about it. But that wasn't it, as this 12/16 Show set list was loaded-up from head to toe ... Stranger - Loose Lucy - Shakedown - Playin' - Dark Star - Watchtower - Good Lovin' - Casey Jones, etc.. So this definitely seems as good of a time as any to give a little " Thanks ! " and/or Shout-Out Cheers ! to the Powers Up-Above, who made this run & night happen ... Jerry - Dick - Vince - Ramrod, and why not throw Kesey in there too - as he too was likely in the House ! OakTown !!! As I'm most-certain everyone up there is still Jammin' away ... & Dancin' ( Kesey ! ), and Dick is still Spinnin' that Tape ! Great Times indeed ... Enjoy ! this little '92 piece of G.D. / Coliseum Live-Dead !! Some memorable times indeed ... Good Ol' Grateful Dead - in '92 ... from well-over 30-Years Ago !!?!!! Awesome . . . . .
