New Philly '89 DVD/CD Set Coming Soon!
Here’s a cool way to kick off the new year and decade: Coming soon is a fantastic new release called Crimson White and Indigo, a DVD/3-CD set that captures every second of the Grateful Dead’s superb July 7, 1989 concert at Philadelphia’s John F. Kennedy Stadium. If you loved the popular 2005 DVD/CD release Truckin’ Up to Buffalo, from July 4, 1989, well, this is the very next show: why, it’s practically like being on tour without having to pitch in gas money, eat bad road food, swelter in the heat or score a miracle ticket. Nope, all the work has been done for you—from the crisp multiple-camera shoot (with no video effects, you’ll be happy to hear) to the crystal clear and powerful audio, mixed from the original 24-track analog tapes in both Dolby Digital stereo and 5.1 surround (for the DVD), and mastered in HDCD (for the CD). But the proof is (always!) in the playing, and this show from the sizzling summer of ’89 tour is sure to please both hard core and casual fans with its energy, diverse song list and passionate playing.

Two years removed from the craziness that surrounded the “comeback” tour of 1987 and the Dead’s unprecedented flirtation with mainstream success—thanks to “Touch of Grey” and the In the Dark album—the group was still riding the crest of that wave and attracting thousands of new fans with each passing tour. The summer of ’89 began in style for the Dead on the solstice itself with a nationally televised/broadcast concert from Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. A week and a half later, the GD circus hit the road for seven East Coast stadium shows, followed by a handful in Midwest amphitheaters. The group was in excellent form throughout, offering a great selection of old and recent favorites, and polishing some of the new songs which would make up their album-in-progress at the time, Built to Last. Visually, the Dead’s stage set that summer was perhaps the most spectacular they ever mounted—designed by noted Czech artist Jan Sawka, it consisted of dozens of enormous painted canvas panels covered with various patterns, colors and shapes—some abstract, some concrete; quite an amazing sight in an enormous stadium.

In what would turn out to be the final rock concert in Philly’s JFK Stadium (the first was The Beatles in August 1966; the aging stadium itself dated back to 1926), the Grateful Dead come out on a brutally hot afternoon (after a fine opening set by Bruce Hornsby & the Range) with rock ’n’ roll on their minds. “Hell in a Bucket” is an appropriate opening choice for a day that is nearly hot as Hades, and then Jerry takes the party to the next level with a truly inspired “Iko Iko.” He’s all smiles, and that’s always a good sign! From there, the first set dips into some blues (“Little Red Rooster”), Hunter-Garcia classics like “Ramble on Rose” and “Loser,” a potent version of Dylan’s “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again,” a wonderfully exploratory version of “Let It Grow,” and finally, Brent Mydland’s still-newish anthem “Blow Away,” which is one of his finest performances of that rockin’ tune.

You gotta love a second set that opens with a warm and inviting “Box of Rain”—peppy and nicely sung—and then right on its heels a “Scarlet Begonias” > “Fire on the Mountain” that is as “up” and celebratory as you could hope for: The “Scarlet” breezes along with joyous purpose, and the “Fire” hits all sorts of mighty peaks; at nearly 25 minutes, it’s a spectacular pairing. “Estimated Prophet” is marked by a smoldering intensity and then the jam that follows settles into the majestic Hunter-Garcia ballad “Standing on the Moon,” surely one of their greatest late-era compositions, and played only seven times before this standout version. The DVD depiction of the “Rhythm Devils” percussion duel gives us a fascinating glimpse of the tools and techniques Mickey and Bill used to create their magical alchemy, and then, following “Space,” the band launches into a hair-raising, careening “Other One” (dig how the camera shows us Phil’s rumbling bass intro up close!), Jerry takes us down to the docks of the city for an emotional “Wharf Rat,” and Bob gets back into party-mode for the concluding “Lovelight.” The encore of Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” offers a beautiful grace note for a show that has taken us through so many different spaces and moods.

The beautifully designed package for Crimson, White and Indigo (the name comes from a line in “Standing on the Moon,” of course) includes loads of great photos by Bob Minkin and an essay from veteran Grateful Dead observer Steve Silberman. All in all it’s a wonderful show from a great year!

This is great news. I was at this show....probably my favorite of what I saw of Summer 89. not only was it the last event at JFK Stadium, the building was actually condemned earlier in the week. The city was however afraid to cancel the concert, so it went on.

A really well-played show with a nice setlist.

Looks good!
Interesting that info was on Allman site - I have not wandered over to dead.net myself yet, is it there as well?

I thought the Rolling Stones rehearsals in August of 89[8/28-29/89] were the final events at JFK.......I was wrong they were at the Vet.

It is on dead.net, someone had simply copied the peice and posted it on the Allmans messageboard.

No details of any pre release offers though, hopefully there'll be a bonus disc or something.

It will be interesting what the price will be via Dead.net, and if they will have any extras? If not, I'll go through amazon.

The Grateful Dead releasing something on 420......pretty cool.

Bump: added product image and tracklisting to the first post.

Definately had to go with the Amazon pre-order. No incentive to pre-order via Dead.net.

I remember this show well-I think Bruce Hornsby & Range opened up. I recorded the whole thing off the radio. Nice to see this released.
JFK bit the dust shortly thereafter. I only saw a few shows there-Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Who, Van Halen-but man was it big-over 100,000.
Of course, it's where the massive Live Aid concert took place as well and the Amnesty Human Rights Now Tour. It should also be remembered for being home to the World Football League's Philadelphia Bell who drew a crowd of 100,000 for their opener and then revealed that 80,000 tickets were giveaways!
In year two they were drawing 2,500 fans a game-ouch.

"Crimson" currently down to $30.19 on Amazon.

When it's $25 i'll put my order in

"If you loved the popular 2005 DVD/CD release Truckin’ Up to Buffalo, from July 4, 1989, well, this is the very next show"

I just watched this yesterday and I must say it it is one of the most inspired and energetic 'Dead performances I've ever witnessed be it live, on audio or video. This package looks very promising indeed.

I liked this show better than Buffalo. The show before Buffalo was alot of fun too.....7/2 Foxboro.....had some big setlist swerves....1st set opened Playin->Crazy Fingers, 2nd set opened Friend of The Devil.

I typically am a sucker for Dead.net's T-shirt combos; however, this shirt, while reflective of the artwork (which I think is excellent) simply is less vibrant than the cover, so I had to pass.

I have the Truckin' Up To Buffalo - on cd. I picked it up used a few years later (not that enthralled with their later stuff). Forgot their was a dvd version...hmmm, may need to seek it out (I recently listened to TUTB, and it is a good show).
