Spring/summer '85 was a great time for the Dead -- thanks!
By fall, though, Jerry's problems were becoming visible again.
And of course, the next year is when his health very publicly collapsed.
The set list you have does not indicate this but I think it is important. The Other One had the first Cryptical Envelopment since 9-23-1972. Cryptical -> Other One -> Cryptical. They played it 5 times that year and then never played it again.
Oh I see it is indicated on the artwork.
At these shows they handed out a glossy flyer with the Rick Griffin 20th anniversary logo on one side and on the other was the 20th Anniversary Rag lyrics.
Just like Grandma Moses, Just like Auld Lang Syne,
Play the change however strange, and get it right this time!
Its been a hard haul, 20 as the crow flies,
When your bakes to the wall, got to playe it as it lies.
Let there be music, dance, and the beating of the drum
Drop whatever your doing and come on on the run.
Twenty years later the grove is just starting to click,
It is all variations on some impossible lick.
Come hear Uncle Johns Band
Playing to the years'
Come along or go alone'
Like an avalanche or a rolling stone.
Wave that flag!
Wave it while you can.
Long as you keep coming
You got a band.
Thanks for 20 years of being
an audience which is the envy
of every other rock and roll band alive.
fuck em if they can't take a joke!
Write if you get work.
Spare change?
Don't touch that plug!
