Phuckin' Phil..

[@michaellee2387]

Phil has a different ear than the rest of the band. Probably somewhat due to formal and avant-gardist classical training. Tom Constanten had a similar background. Only those two would site John Cage or Karlheinz Stockhausen as major influences, in actually listening to the sound (and silences), not just the musicality.

I was there. Thanks. I know where we were sitting for this show. I can remember sharing a smile with a rando' in the crowd during "Loose Lucy" (or maybe "Man Smart (Women are Smarter)"). Hairy hippie guy walking by on his way somewhere. He made eye contact as he went by, and when I grinned at him, he reacted with a happy "Right-on!". and grinned back. An important datum for me in my ongoing testing of the hypothesis that: if you smile at people, they tend to smile back. It's an important truth. Grin at strangers for no reason. 🙂

4 sure.....I was fortunate to have caught this one. In my top 10 and I've done full Alpine, MSG, Nassau, Meadowlands runs and the better part of several tours. It's funny I just posted about this show the other day and how it was the last time I got to see Brent. As a poster mentioned here, it was never the same after he left us.....the beginning of the end in my view. There was something about Brent. That gravelly voice. The new kid with something to prove; even 11 years later. The interaction between him and Jerry some nights was beyond magic.......so glad I was able to ride the original bus route.......and yes this show was quite a cooker !!!!

[@frankensteinstrat3420]

@@keithmall5810 I wasn't there myself. I was only 15 at the time. A friend of mine was there and gave me an audiance recording that summer. I was instantly hooked. Went out and bought Eurooe '72 and Terripan Station to start with after that. Saw my first show in Rich Stadium in '92. Missed the Brent years, but this show was my first experience to live Greatful Dead and I fell in love. The more I heard later day live shows, the more I realized just how good this show really was. Kind of a hidden gem for almost 30 years for a lot of people just experiencing it now. For years, whenever I needed a solid pick me up I'd listen this show.

[@keithmall5810]

@@jimkilroy2549 Hung up my Dead shoes after doing the entire '91 MSG run. Caught a few highlights between this Buffalo '90 show and then. Spring and Summer '91 had a few sparks but there were some shows where they just seemed tired and somewhat forced. The night they encored with Terrapin at Nassau Spring '91 was by far the worst I had seen them live. I'll never forget. It was a quick show. Jerry just stormed off the stage after Terrapin. Weird vibes. Went back on a lark in '95 to Highgate......so disappointed. Figured it was just a one off, so I tried again at one of the Meadowlands shows and I knew that was it. Even still, some of the greatest music live was created by these pioneers and I consider myself beyond fortunate to have witnessed just a small portion of what they produced over decades.

[@joedavis1453]

Me too my friend. The show before this at Foxboro was my first. That I went to. Went with a long time tour vet. Who made amazing professional tie dyes. I'd come home after school and help him. While he taught me. That was my keep ,for him to take me on tour that summer. Than out west from the last qshows at Tinley Park. Well being my first and so young I was completely overwhelmed at Foxboro. Sold alot of dyes. Got wasted. Never went in and had a blast. I will never forget the drive from there to this show in Buffalo. Every car on the highway were heads . Also going to Buffalo. Every car full of heads. Every rest area like another dead lot. The whole way. It was, lt was magic. But this time I had to get in . I got a face value ticket. Traded a tye dye for a nice hand full of some beautiful cubes. First for that too. Had a wonderful magic time. Great show, great summer completely changed my life. Remember seeing Jerry sitting behind an amp. With a beautiful lady. Watching CS+N open the show. Awesome show. So great to see again. Might of been the best days of my life..

I still had so many roads to come, and I feel gratitude for each and every one of them, the rainy mud-pits, the sun scorchers, and all of the ups and downs in between.

[@Torgo1969]

A beautiful summer day in Upstate NY. Drove up from Ithaca with some friends to see my 2nd show. My first was the famed Knickerbocker show on 3-24-90, but this was the one the really "got me on the bus" as they say! The Sugar-into-Scarlet is IMMORTAL, IMHO.

[@cactaceous]

That Knickerbocker show was what got me into the Dead when I went to smoke with my friend Ben, Freshman year college, and he played the newly released Dozin' triple album. Then he told me his friend Kevin was coming over with some shrooms. We played it back to back a few times. Sucks I was too young when the Dead were active to go see them.

@@z1205 The more and more i listen to his playing, the more i think hes one of the best organ players ever.

[@wangson]

He's great. And he added a neccessary vocal harmony to the band. At the same time though, I prefer Keith's time in the band..in my opinion he was with them during their greatest period (although one could argue that Tom Constantin was actually with them during their greatest run). I think I like the fact that Keith employed an actual Grand Piano rather than using a keyboard constantly. I love the sound of the piano far more than an electric keyboard (though I do like an organ sound too - like the one that Ray Manzerek of the Doors used!).

[@channingchills]

@@wangson Huge fan of Keith, in general. But yeah, his use of the grand was awesome. Reminds me of Billy Powell’s use of the grand on some of Skynard’s live jams.

[@anthonyfaber589]

This is shortly before our friend Brent died. I remember the day very well in New York City with my girlfriend. I cried, she thought I was a pussy. It took a while but Welnick and Hornsby picked up the shoes but it took two. At times Brent could ramble like every member… Except Jerry! He forgot lyrics but never went off point. Brent was such a great addition to the band after Keith. I've been listening to these songs for so many years and I always discover something new. That's the magic of the grateful dead is the intense layering of harmonies and notes, syncopation. From Big Pen to Jerry, rest and peace and thank you for the best music of my life.

Was there with 2 close friends, Mike and Kevin. Had no tickets but was blessed when we arrived (bogus tickets, you're welcome Kevin :-). Camped in a convenient store back lot with sharp rocks galore. Selling balloons for the kiddies. Brent came out and watched CSN. Was down in front the 1st set (you can see me in the tie dye shirt), moved all the way to the back, top of the stadium for the 2nd set. When they sang the line 'truckin up to Buffalo' that place was deafening.

[@jciazza1]

Without a doubt the best concert experience of my life , and I've seen a thousand if I've seen one .Inside and out of the stadium, we'd been embraced and primed for takeoff .From the Unbroken Chain of balloons to the set list , down to those funny little scraps of paper people were passing around , there was Magik in the air and community on Shakedown Street .CSN for an OPENING ACT ?? Are you freakin' kidding me ? It was obvious they were having a blast as well, . I swear , by Drums/Space people were looking to the stars expecting the Mothership to arrive and take us away .Uncle Bobo said ''There's NOTHING like a Grateful Dead show'' , and he never lied , but this was a Master Jewel in the Crown .I can now only thank those craftsmen/artists that have now provided us this keepsake of a precious memory .

[@bunnybeckman8029]

David Lemieux did I ever meet u ? Did u come to this place where I live ? I know a lot about the boys that I can’t write , so I’m just wondering

[@Wire-Free]

Ah, 1990, the year that changed my music genres for the better; took a long strange trip @ McNichols arena Denver, Fall '90! Never looked back at top 40 stations... Thanks to the GD... And I'm still "enjoying the RIDE"!🖤🙋🏾‍♂️

[@mrjamfy6862]

This is still the best show I have seen! CSN opening and the Dead! Match made in heaven!

[@tobinmcintosh5425]

One of the best concerts I've seen with the wall of sound at the Hollywood Bowl 74 what an afternoon

[@nycrags4207]

That's why when the bus stopped I got on... Love Phil!!!!

[@rjjm94]

That jerry to brent nod at 2:25:40 makes the hair stand up. Phil just crushing that bass, brent wailing the organ, and i think jerry approved it all. This is as good as it gets.

[@carsonssuperfuntime3135]

1989 and 1990 were 2 amazing years my friend

[@randallleonard4344]

Jerry and Brent both knew how to nod.😅

[@hippiejohn334]

This was a Great time.!!!!

[@daniellwysocki1688]

Agreed! They loved Buffalo and showed it.

[@oSerpicox]

Brent seems so happy here. So sad, what a talent.

[@gpimports3]

Across the LAZY RIVER! Wow Jerry and the boys are on it! I old enough to remember how special these days were when I was younger.

What a Great Stadium Show from 1990👍❤️👍...PS did the psychedelic presentation👍✌️😎

[@Sbannmarie]

Brent is rocking

[@brianberek]

My first show... didn't know much about the Dead 'cept "Truckin" and "Casey Jones" from the radio. About the middle of "Ship of Fools" I became a head for life, saw many shows after, wish there were more...

My go to show to put on the projector and sound getting back to camp when the musics over at festivals it always gathers a crowd as it did in buffalo. Love this show so much. Only a long trip could explain the graditude i have for this show especially the video. For those of us to young to witness the deads love seeing you guys have so much fun gives me alot of hope.

So much love for Brent....and thanks, too. "I Will Take You Home" saved my life when I was going through some dark times. I had a little one at the time, and hearing that woke me the fuck up to what I was doing to myself...
