Description: Grateful Dead : Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 4 - Cal Expo '93 : May 26 & 27, 1993 ( 5/26/1993 & 5/27/1993 ) - Cal Expo Amphitheatre - Sacramento, California ( CA ) : 2 CD : 2009 (1993/2009) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) : Out Of Print ! & Very Rare !!! The Amazing !!!!! May 1993 Cal Expo run - featuring the 5/26/93 & 5/27/93 Rex Foundation Benefit Shows ! - in Sacramento, CA !!! ... Good Ol' 1993 !! Grateful Dead !!!!!!! Let's see ... well, I'll openly warn you that I run the risk of getting a little emotional over this one, this Super-Hot ! Cali Dead Run !!! All I can say is that I hope that you were able to catch a Show ( or Shows ) on this Absolutely-Historic ! '93 Cal Expo stand. I was so fortunate to not only warm up at the Shoreline run prior, but also catch each of these incredible nights of Historic ! Grateful Dead at the Cal Expo Amphitheatre in Sacramento. Two thoughts -- 1st thought : Many critical fans are less-fond of 90's ( post-Brent ) Dead and obviously there are some good reasons for feeling that way - especially from the ' consistency ' standpoint, and at times the apparent lack of energy & even the achievement of a grippy musical tone. And then, the 2nd thought : During these May 1993 Cal Expo Shows there was a very-special brew stirred up for these California Rex Foundation performances, as follows : A song-by-song Jerry Garcia Guitar Clinic ! each ! & every-night !! + When Phil's On The Band's On ! + When Things Get Weir'd ! = what many Deadhead's consider the Band's last Great, and Triumphant Stand !! I don't personally feel that way ( i.e. Autzen '93 / '94, Oakland Feb. '94 ( Chinese New Year " of the Dog ! " run ), and I'm sure a few ' big ' others ) -- however, if you were there for this glorious May '93 run of shows at Expo - I can see just exactly why you might feel this way. I completely understand. An absolutely Perfect atmosphere : California Sunshine, a Rex Benefit occasion(s), the Band clearly feeling the great vibes throughout, all in probably the last small ( and most intimate ) outdoor venue the Grateful Dead were still able to play due to crowd sizes, fan behavior problems, and etc.. I mean you have Gotta-Love ! the old Cal Expo, just gotta ... But here's the scoop, and who will ever know why exactly ? this happened ( except for each one of the Boys, naturally ... ) : Jerry Garcia was simply ready to go all-throughout this whole run - Big-Time !!! He comes straight out of the gates, guns ( Rosebud ! ) blazing & Phil immediately follows suit as lead ( bass ) guitarist -- then Bob Weir at his best ( looking like he'd been anxiously waiting for this moment & opportunity ! ). Garcia's fret board / picking-attack & tone ! is aggressive, pristine & flat-out vicious ! all throughout the power-moments in this run - and the ballads are heartfelt, sweet & played with excellence. Shakedown Street clearly proclaims that Sacto ! does-indeed have Heart !! Samson & Deal !?! Whoa !! Look out Jerry-Freaks ! because here-comes the Boss Turbo-Overdrive that you-all Live For !! A Killer ! Playing In The Band version & set-placement(s) - with reprise included ! I mean Here Comes Sunshine ... indeed ! I truly challenge the fans of 60's, 70's & 80's Dead, to give this Early/Mid-90's ! Good Ol' Grateful Dead a try !! No guarantees naturally, but I think you'll be very-pleasantly surprised. Some speak of the 5/26 show as being the true last great " Hurrah " for the Grateful Dead, and me - myself -- well, I feel the entire 5/27/93 Show was one of the Best ! Grateful Dead Shows that I ever saw - Ever ! Right up there near the same level as some of the scorching-hot nights with Brent in the Late 80's / Early 90's. I bet this may very well be the ' latest ' Vault selection / release the Grateful Dead will ever professionally re-master & release for sale, and there are some real good reasons why they picked this '93 Expo run - and ... they are all right here in the Music ! Definitely, definitely, Enjoy ! this one ... Just some fabulous " 1993 " Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!!!!
