Subject: autzen 8-21 1993 These two at Autzen were some of the finest friend, wife, and I ever saw-with over 300 under the belt

The best Standing on the Moon

Normally my wife and I always "watched" the shows with our eyes closed

But as Jerry was finishing "Standing" my buddy said to us-"You gotta see Jerry"

Garcia almost went to his knees finishing the song!

Don't miss the 8-22 opener-Jack Straw

Jerry must have played with Steve Kimmock the night before after Zero's show at the Hilton

Subject: On fire!! I celebrated my 6th birthday during this concert, so it hold special significance for me :-) Unlike most of their other "August 21st" concerts (excepting the very mellow 1972 Berkley performance) this one is really fantastic. I'm especially impressed with the guitar playing here: Jerry is remarkably tight for such a late concert in the band's history.



I always considered the concerts after 1991 to be weaker, but this performance clearly demonstrates that GD was still very capable of putting out a barn-burner even in the final years. "I Fought The Law" and Vince's strong vocals on "Way To Go Home" stick out for being more rare songs. Eugene must have been giving off some very positive energy levels! - July 24, 2014On fire!!

Subject: -- Decent show when all's said and done. I absolutely love Jer's Lightning Bolt-era, and I think this run @Autzen is a great representation of the sound for this era, although I prefer the following night to this one.



Set 1 doesn't really pick up off the ground - HCS just kind of croaks along...but Bird Song > Promised Land add some water to everything and make it come to life - easily the highlight of the first set.



Set 2 fares better; Drums > Space on both Autzen days is wickedly experimental, as always for this era - SOTM really does take it and is quite easily the highlight of the night. Dig Jer's intense solo - I've seen people highlight this one as one of the greats of all time for this tune, and I can see what they mean.



As said, the following night fares much better, but this one has its moments. - August 19, 2013--

Subject: Great show & great atmosphere Indeed the greatest show and experience of the 90's for me. As the previous reviewer noted, the town was full of dead folk and the locals were outstanding. It was the closest thing to woodstock I've ever experienced. - February 14, 2012Great show & great atmosphere

Subject: Maybe my favorite 93 show The scene around Autzen was a deadhead paradise--camping, vending, and freaking freely in the warm sun. My first west coast show. I think the dead came on at 2 in the afternoon. I love this China/Rider, maybe my favorite of the Vince era. Standing On The Moon was pure church as the crowd reveled in Jerry's impassioned playing and vocals at the closing jam. Give it a listen you will not be disappointed. One of the best ever! Huey Lewis joined them for Smokestack/Schoolgirl. I Fought The Law was still new enough that it wasn't a total downer (although the vocals on this version are truly awful). At first glance the set list may not look too impressive, but they played with precision, focus, and heart. No "Jerryatrics" whatsoever! The next night was also great, but I prefer this one. I used to have a crisp audience tape of this show and I pretty much wore it out. 93 is definitely not my favorite year, but this show is a jewel. Hard to believe it was almost 20 years ago..... - February 13, 2011Maybe my favorite 93 show

soooo crisp and clean..brings me right back to that crystal-clear, and VERY HOT day in Eugene...

absolutely flipped over this first set and love all the freakyness of Micky and Vince in Drums-> Space, but,whoa..maybe a little toooo much panning by the board!!! careful when wearing phones!..lol



*this was only my second show, and truly unaware of the historic SOTM that went down..i grew up a huge Clash fan and freaked when they busted out 'I Fought The Law'!! a great day indeed..

Subject: 93 at it's finest MAN... after reading all the "first set was short" comments, I have to wonder what you people weren't smoking before you listened to it.....

you guys aren't giving that set the credit it deserves...... Who cares how short it was as long as it was right on and right on it was..

This was one of the best first sets of the 90's....

Other ther than the standard promisedland, this set one is easily one of my all time favorites and I am the 70's 80's type...I very rarely listen to vince stuff But the Bird Song from this show is the best version I have ever heard, live or recorded.... and the Lazy River and Queen Jane are JUST as perfect.... So remember that even though longer is usually better, that was not the case on this day. - November 26, 200893 at it's finest

I agree that SOTM was amazing- Jerry had a great time with this one, and it shows in the sound on this SBD. It was my first west coast show, and well worth the trip from Colorado. The Indigo Girls weren't bad either!! Thanks for letting me hear this show again when I thought I wever would!

Subject: My first shows Eugene 93 were my first dead shows. I had a decent tape collection by then so I was down enough to get the significance of Jerry's SOTM performance. It was unforgettable. Tis hard to write a review and Sunday's show on the 22nd was a MONSTER but this review is for the SOTM.



Who can forget the chills of that first experience hearing the fat man at his best...taking the crowd to a level of euphoric insanity. Bending his knees, pushing his vocals to the limit, shredding the guitar, (BE WITH YOU!) what a sight to see and hear a man so chill take it up a couple of notches. GDAMN i miss the GD.



I remember the perfect sun, the stadium filled to the rim with 50K crazies, the giant sets of speakers at midfield, marshmallows melting on the turf like my (sober) 19 year old mind during his first ride on the bus. IF ONLY I'd been born a little earlier in time I'd have caught a 100 shows.



Ah i recall the stupid smile on my face waking up the next morning on somebody's floor knowing the dead were playin' again. You just KNEW sunday would be unreal.



And I thought The Maker in Seattle two weeks prior (JGB) was a religious experience.

The opener with the pure vocals on "Here comes sunshine" just set the tone for the whole weekend, and the SOTM just lifted the whole stadium into the Oregon Sky and flew off.



Fantastic, this was probably the funnest weekend I've ever had. - September 25, 2006Thanks for the memories

A 3.5 of 5 on the Kind-o-meter.



Dark Star-like deconstruction during Bird Song jam - but they bungle some of the regularly occuring components.



Interesting sound effects/keys following Bobby's main guitar part on China Cat. Sloppy jam/transition to Rider



Interesting 2nd set. To Vince's credit - "Space" certainly evolved another step forward during his tenure. - March 3, 2006fair to middlin

Subject: Best China Cat - Rider EVER! I am a bassist and I love the dead. They definitely were the best band ever! In touch with their times, but at the same time, way ahead of their time. I belive this show contains the best China Cat Rider ever - and that's saying a lot because I've heard a lot of them in my time. It's almost magical. Jerry must have been very close to enlightenment throughout and he's own fire in RIder, but at the same time, he is giving it his unimitatable feeling in every note. Phil crushes Rider too. And the vibe effect on keys adds a lot to the overall sound. I prabably have listened to this combo 5000 times and it is still as fresh in its feeling as it was the first time - truly one of those Dead gems that you stumble onto that leave an indelible impact on you about the band's greatness.

Download it and be with them.

Subject: no cobwebs Awesome quality soundboard--5 stars



Tight show, this show is a good example of Jerry Garcia riding the crest of his health "renaissance" of late 92-early 94...



This show is also the debut of Rosebud



Bird Song and China>Rider are delivered in authoritative and jammed out fashion. In the second set, Standing On The Moon is the big highlight of the show and is one of the Hall of Fame versions out there...Garcia breaks out the washboard during the coda and takes it to a new level...For S.O.T.M. fans, check out 03-16-94 and 12-06-1989 for other titanic versions...Saturday Night wraps up the set... - July 23, 2005no cobwebs

This song is one of my favorites (a 90's If I Had The World To Give, if you will) and the lyrics are so deep and beautiful. This is one of those lyrics where Hunter hits home on hundreds of levels. The meaning of this song has evolved over time for me, it's been about just about everything at one point, my ex-girl friend, my newly departed father, my home.



Ever been surrounded by beauty and joy but would trade it all to hold hands for just a minute with your beloved? This is your tune.



In 2005, I came across



Be with you. Be with you. If you're here, it's likely because you're drawn to the later era Standing on the Moons. This one is the first where Jerry would bring back the "be with you" lyric after the monster end solo (mantra style). It wouldn't be the last, but this is the first and best version played that way. June 2nd 1995 is also a classic SOTM. 9/10/91 provides the SOTM gold standard.This song is one of my favorites (a 90's If I Had The World To Give, if you will) and the lyrics are so deep and beautiful.
