Tapers Notes:
This was the last time that I recorded the Good Ole Greatful Dead in the Oakland Coliseum Arena.
These shows were kind of a let down, after Bill Graham’s passing in the helicoptor accident a few
months previous. I recorded the 10/27/91 and 10/31/91 shows on the Halloween run. 10/27 was very
somber, as it was the first Dead show since Bill’s death, opening with Bill’s favorite song Sugar
Magnolia. 10/31/91 was perhaps the most intense Dead show I’ve ever seen, with a stellar song
selection and even a visit from Ken Kesey to mark the passage of Bill’s life. My first set master
from 10/31/91 got lost soon after the show. To make matters worse, it had the encore on it, so
the second set tape was made useless as well.

The 12/27/91 show was decent, in my memory, in both song selection/playing and in the recording.
It was always nice to see a Scarlet > Fire, and I liked Bobby’s rendition of Dylan songs such as
Memphis Blues. Music Never Stopped to end the first set was always a favorite, and the Cold Rain
& Snow opener was always to be expected on a cold Oakland night.

I had tickets for the 12/31/91 show, and hoped to record from the OTS. Still, even with priority
tickets, we still found ALL of the tapers section had been saved with coats/tape, by the time we
got inside. As I remember, few tapers got into the section that night. It was mostly non tapers.
We had to sit up in the nosebleeds on Jerry’s side and I didn’t tape at all, even though I had my
little Sony quartz lock FM tuner as a back up. I was just too disgusted. The NYE celebration was
really lame too, since Bill was not there. All they did was show old NYE Dead footage on the big
screen.
