An Underrated Maine Show, Portland, May 13, 1979 My 7th Show in 10 Days (Finals In the Middle)
This was the first show ever in Portland, Maine.And also the first show in Maine since April 1971. By May 1979 the Dead had already played 15 of their 22 ever shows in sister city Portland, Oregon. This one on May 13, 1979 was the first of eight in Portland, Maine. I only saw the first two before moving to Berkeley 19 months later.
This was the last night of the short ten night first tour with Brent. I saw 6 of these 7, 7 of the 9 on the tour.
I went to 6 dead shows in 7 days, took my finals and then saw one more in Portland at the end. I managed to get all HHs (HH=A at Bowdoin). Crazy. Im pretty sure I only smoked weed and did not trip during this trip. I almost got arrested only one outside Hampton.
This ended my 22nd shows all on east coast
My next 3 would be in Sacramento and Oakland.
There is a pretty hot Sugaree that opens this show and a cool Take A Step Back, always a favorite for me. Usually for the time Jack Straw closed set one. The show is not considered top shelf (see 5/7,8,9 for the tours best according to Deadbase polling)
We did get Maine's first Scar Fire and a really nice Estimated He's Gone Truckin Nobodys Fault Jam.

The Dead Got Their Vegas Chips Cashed In At Sam Boyd, April 27-28, 1991
After four one-off shows in 1969, 1981, 1983 and 1984, the Grateful Dead came, saw and conquered Las Vegas. The April 1991 shows were the first two of 14 shows between 1991 and 1994 and an important part of the annual Dead schedule to the end.
According to Billboard nearly 40,000 a day paid $23.50 a ticket for a $1,856,000 sell-out box office.
There were 77 shows in 1991, these shows barely scratch the top-20 but I suspect it was an amazing experience followed by all-night wandering in and around the casinos on the strip. There was a nice split Sugar Mag Sunshine. the fourth from the last of these sandwiches. http://www.gratefulseconds.com/2015/10/sugar-magnoliasunshine-daydream-splits.html
Alot of folks think the Foolish Heart, Saint of Circumstance, Crazy Fingers and Truckin predrums is the top part of the weekend.

Don't Ease Me Into Lafayette College, May 7, 1979
 |
| Nice review of the show that mentions the first five songs (typical) So cool when Cippolina shows up out of nowhere to play in a college hockey rink. This was the hardest ticket to get before the show so for weeks people were paying up for it. I was poor college student and I figured out that if you go close to the arena you could get tiockets for cost or under so I was lucky. At the parking lot tickets were like $5 more. Crazy but good knowledge gained. This was a super fun show sounded great. Enjoy show is here SET 1 Don't Ease Me In Me And My Uncle > Big River Candyman Looks Like Rain Tennessee Jed New Minglewood Blues Peggy-O Passenger SET 2 Shakedown Street Jack Straw Stagger Lee Estimated Prophet > Eyes Of The World > Drums > Space > Not Fade Away* > Black Peter* > Around & Around* ENCORE U.S. Blues SHOW NOTES * w/ John Cippolina     |
