A LoloYodel two-video angle remix (see credits below). To see the entire show, go to my Channel & "Playlist". These 1990 European shows were some of the The Best of The Grateful Dead ! Granted "amateur" videos but to have two video angles, with such visual diversity, is truly an addition to our viewing and auditive pleasure. Forget color resolution and any other puritanical bull---t, enjoy this ! 7 months after the truly spectacular and sonically unique East-Coast Spring 1990 Tour (Landover, Albany, Nassau ...), but just 3 months after the tragic death of the beloved keyboardist Brent Mydland (July 26th), The Grateful Dead embarked on what became their very strong European Tour, their 1st in 9 years (1981) which started in Sweden on October 13th (jet lag and all ...), then Germany where it begins to pick up, then France ... ! The Tour ended on November 1st at Wembley, London UK. All of these European shows, beyond their European flavor, were unique in that they were in relatively small 4000-5000 seat venues (versus the average 40000+ seat coliseums, if not stadiums, that the Dead were playing in the USA). And I'm sure that the Grateful Dead were not oblivious to that "intimacy". Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby are there to replace Mydland on keyboards ... VIDEOS : with my habitual gratitude and thanks for all whose who previously filmed, produced and shared the originals. Angle One : "Lazy Cow", special thanks to Jon B ! (with the soundboard audio) Video: AUD (Tripod) ~ JVC Single Tube Camera ... Left of stage view, often shakey ... (hmmmmm) I made some important adjustments in contrast (+40), luminosity (+25) and, in many cases saturation (-90%) as the master is somewhat "snowy" & dark... Angle Two : "Rasensteine", colorful (very cool & smooth !) Nice resolution & capture ! Left of stage, almost identical angle to Lazy Cow. I reduced the color-saturation by -125% to try and find better visual harmony with the darker "Lazy Cow" video. AUDIO : Soundboard (gd1990-10-19.dsbd.dieter.12892.shnf_shn) Editor's Notes : Lazy Cow is again dark and, exceptionally here (Berlin) often shaky ... This show is good, potentially quite strong notably the 1st set ! The 2nd set has a sound "Scarlet - Fire" & "Looks Like Rain" however, Jerry kinda loses it on "Terrapin", though still strong, : forgotten vocals and just watch him as he puts his axe down at the end, prior to the drums ... seems resigned ... PS : also thanks to Gerry & Stewart Loew for brief outakes of their fine "In Our Eyes, European Deadhead Odyssey 1990" edited in at the beginning of each show ! Set 1: Intro ~ Let The Good Times Roll ~ Shakedown Street ~ (it's shakin' !) Little Red Rooster Brown Eyed Women Mama Tried ~ Mexicali Blues Row Jimmy Stuck Inside Of Mobile Deal Set 2: Scarlet Begonias ~ (jerry cleary diggin' it !) Fire On The Mountain Looks Like Rain Terrapin Station ~ drums ~ space ~ The Other One ~ (explosive) Wharf Rat ~ Around & Around ~ Sugar Magnolia encore: All Over Now Baby Blue (LC really had the shakes here ...)
