Description
Widely considered one of the most exciting, inspired, and greatest shows of the Dead's final decade of performing, the magnificent 6/17/91 show features relentlessly excellent performances, and is filled with surprises. Opening with a shocking Eyes Of The World, the Dead were firing on all cylinders from the opening notes of the show. Featuring beloved classics such as Truckin’ and Uncle John’s Band. Rarities played at this show included Saint Of Circumstance, Might As Well, New Speedway Boogie, and China Doll, but the real standout in regards to the setlist choices was the recurrence of Dark Star, which wove in and out of the setlist throughout the show, including during the first set, making no less than six distinct appearances during the show. With an encore of The Band's The Weight, the Dead cap off one of their most highly regarded shows ever with a perfect song choice to send the crowd on its way. Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick join Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart & Bill Kreutzmann to round out this stellar line-up.

Tonight's (8/1/2019) Meet Up At The Movies...apparently the next box will be announced (or teased) at the show as well.

My guess is that it's going to be a summer '91 box. Lately they've been releasing one show or a comp from the box set.

Funny - I was totally into what you originally thought, and I just received the email as well.

I'm skipping the box but this show is too good to pass up. They aren't exaggerating to say one of the best of the final 10 years.

I opted for the box, though not super excited per se. I am glad that it not a 91 focus box, as there are two re spring. I regret not getting the first from completing aspect. But my main re is to support the big box per year format, as most have been really great, and I want future treasures. It was nice to see the digital version is about 50 bucks cheaper. In past they were roughly same as physical.
