4/1/86 providence: weir sounding pretty buzzed before 2nd set, “i have it on good authority that there’s no such thing as april fool’s day.” 13-minute SHAKEDOWN STREET with gooey conversational core. 23-minute ESTIMATED PROPHET > EYES OF THE WORLD, 140bpm EYES bubbles/floats but doesn’t turn, coming to stop before 41-minute DRUMZ > SPACE > I NEED A MIRACLE > BLACK PETER > SUGAR MAGNOLIA. the Beam begets shimmering SPACE-zonk. BOX OF RAIN moves into encore slot. [2/4]

local scene reports from providence ’86. i’d never seen this garcia quote about hating boston garden “where even the rats wear leather jackets” which made me lol on its own but also because garcia obviously watched “the muppets take manhattan.” [3/4]
