    I just talked to my sister, who is on her way to the show - they
    weather up hear is pretty nice lately.  So I am goin to rule out
    Cold Rain, and go with Here Comes Sunshine.  But Chicago is definetly
    a Shakedown Street town!!!  
    
    I called a shakedown opener two years ago at soldiers and instead got
    Hell in a bucket.  This was a major bummer until they cranked into 
    a 20 min. shakedown street for the second song :-).

27.22A Little Useless Trivia...BINKLY::CEPARSKIShow Me Something Built To LastWed Apr 13 1994 17:0822
    Kinda belongs here => couldn't think of NEwhere else to put it.
    
    Don Mitchell and I were talking about the predictibility of the encores
    latley and how "I Fought the Law" seemed to be popping up WAY to much
    (IMO). Anyway Don tallied up the stats for encores for '94 "So Far" and
    sent 'em to me thought everyone else would be interested.
    
    23 shows so far in '94 --- 7 different encores
    
    I Fought the Law 	7
    US Bluz		3
    Rain 		2
    Brokedown Palace 	2
    The Weight 		1
    Liberty 		6
    Johnny B. Goode 	2
    
    Fought the Law and Liberty are way out front - covering 56.5% of the
    encores.

    RE: I Fought the Law
    
    I think that tune would be a GREAT opener but its too repitious and
    short for an encore, IMO. Yeah I'd like to hear things like Baby Blue,
    Satisfaction, Gloria, Black Muddy River, Revolution, etc, etc 
27.28CXDOCS::BARNESWed Apr 13 1994 18:373

27.29Interesting thread!AKOCOA::SMITH_Dsimple twist of fateWed Apr 13 1994 18:3829
	Baby Blue -

	Only caught myself one, it was RFK 91, gorgeous!  Not a good one to 
	hear when your carry'n a broken heart...good reality slap though!!!
	
	Don't think they've played it much since that show.

	Black Muddy River!!!!
	
	Killer encore!!!! Brings back magical memories of a few years back at 
	the Centrum.  I think this one is only pulled out after a real worthy 
	show!

	"and it seems like this night will last forever"

	Quinn - 

	Got kinda bored of it in the 85/86 saga

	Terrapin -
	
	Wierd encore, but uplifting.  I think they could do again.

	I'd rather hear I Fought the Law than another autopilot Heavens Door!

    I thought I Fought The Law was a great closer last year at Albany.
    Heaven's Door was definately auto-pilot. 
    
    I'm sick to death of hearing Brokedown Palace.

I fought the law was very disappointing I felt. I'd rather 
hear Black Muddy River.

really?  so won't that also cut down a bit on people being available to order
tix?  or are they starting out west, which would probably have little
relevance to VT?

where/when are they playing before and after highgate?

27.44SMURF::HAPGOODJava Java HEY!Wed Jun 08 1994 21:017

I believe after Highgate it's off to RFK for ?Sat/Sun?.  I dunno where they
are coming from.  Seems like a long way to go for a single show....

    I'll take a Help -> Slip -> Frank opener and/or a Scarlet -> Fire (with
    a nice long jam in between) any night they want to play it. As far as
    preferences, the later in the run the better as my seats keep getting
    closer to the front :-) :-) :-)

    If da boyz do Help/Slip opener on Sat, and if it's anything like the
    opening of Albany in 1990 then I'll be a happy camper!  That was one of
    the most amazing shows I've ever seen.
    
    Though, what I've found is that now (after 20 years of show going),
    I have zero expectation and then however the show plays out I'm happy!
    
    See ya all at the Commonwealth tomorrow!

predictions?

that they'll make up for last year's sort of lame but good in spots show
with a
great show.

Not a prediction but a hope:
I hope if Dylan comes out to play with the Dead that it's only for a song or 2.
I MUCH prefer Dylan on his own (I like Dylan w/ his own band...which is usually
excellent).  Back in 86 or 87 I saw enough Dylan and Dead together to last me
for a lifetime...
