Garcia of the Grateful Dead
Grateful Dead very much alive
By GREG WASSON
As seven p.m. approached, the
crowd grew more restless,
wondering if it would all start on
time. Seven came, and with it
came the Grateful Dead. It had
been almost a year since people in
Oregon had had a chance to see
the Dead, and the audience was
ready for a good concert.
The first set, which started with
"Mississippi Half Step," lasted
two hours, and was mostly songs
that the Dead have recorded in
the last four or five years. New
songs in the first set were a slow
ballad called "Maybe It Was the
Roses," a fast, almost rock and
roll tune that I didn't catch the
name of, and two songs that will
be on the Dead's next album,
"Money Money," and the "U.S.
Blues."
In the second set, the Dead
played songs that allowed for
more jamming, with the longest
jams coming from "The Water
Suite" and "Truckin'." My
favorite song in the second set
was "Big River," a song the Dead
have been doing for a while, but
have never recorded.
The crowd at the concert was,
on the whole, pretty well
mannered and the concert had
very few hassles. The main
problem was the fact that the
floor was lined with rows and
rows of chairs. The purpose of the
chairs was to provide for orderly
exit, but the chairs only crowded
people together, making the aisles
solid walls of people with no room
to move around. The chairs also
encouraged people to stand up on
them, blocking the view of the
people behind.
The only word that describes the
quality of the music is good —the

Dead were the Dead. Donna Jean
Godchaux's vocals were the only
part of the music that I found
lacking. I've always felt that
Godchaux tries to do things with
her voice that it simply isn't strong
enough to do. Keith Godchaux's
piano was not featured as much
as it has been other times I've
seen the Dead, and the songs
tended to be shorter, with a lack
of extended jams.
All in all, the Grateful Dead gave
everyone in the audience reason
to say, "thank you, for a real good
time." Everyone left the Coliseum
feeling good and understanding
why Bill Graham introduces the
Grateful Dead as, "the best rock
and roll band in the world."
‘Stiff’ poets...
(Continued from Pagel)
etches a scene and then peoples
it, leaving the impression that the
humans are the more ephemeral
element. Of the three poets,
Siegel leans closest to originality
and depth.
The audience was receptive and
appreciative of this poetry that
seemed to lie mostly on the level
of confessions. Considering the
relatively few opportunities
people have to listen to poets, I
am not surprised. I only hope that
more Eugene poets will schedule
readings to at least allow a
comparison of quality. The
audience is more than willing to
listen and appreciate.
