Description: Grateful Dead : Road Trips Vol. 4 No. 2 - April Fools '88 !!! : March 31 & April 1, 1988 ( 3/31/1988 & 4/1/1988 ) - Brendan Byrne Arena - East Rutherford, New Jersey ( NJ ) : 2011 (1988/2011) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - GRA2-6019 : Factory Sealed ! : Very Rare ! & Awesome !! G.D. " Road Trips " Series release - from the Massive ! ' Spring Tour '88 ' Shows - at the Meadowlands !!! Grateful Dead recorded ' Live ' at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ ... on April Fools Day 1988 !!! ( 4/1/88 ) + plus Bonus Tracks from the other Huge ! Meadowlands Show from the night prior ( 3/31/88 ) !!!!!Lovers of 1980's Dead ?!! Well, ' Fall-In ' Right Here !, Right-Now !! ' ... just like Bobby Weir's Buddy Sammy Hagar ! used to once say !! Hah !!! So, yes indeed - as here is Your ! chance to ' make-good ' with yourself and replace, ( I mean don't ' get rid of them ' - just " digitally-upgrade " ), your ( hopefully Very ! ) well-worn analogs from the nothing-short of Legendary ! 3/31/88 & 4/1/88 Meadowlands Shows in Good Ol' East Rutherford, New Jersey -- " The Meadowlands !!! ". Sure-shot " Analog-Collection " Staples ! for many a Dead Fan ... and a couple of " Must-Haves ! " in those sacred Napa Valley wood-grain Tape-Slots ! Classic ... For some Deadheads, this was the end of the " True-Live ! " Grateful-Dead-Sound !! -- the very-final days of U.S. Tours in the pre-MIDI ( multi-digital-interphase ) Era. In other words, back then - people in every seat would hear the pure analog sound delivered right through the cones in the Amps !, just like the Band would hear through the monitors. Basic/standard string instrument effects - ( plus distortion - overdrive - phase shifter - analog delay - octave divider, - etc. ), pure Rock n' Roll equipment without any synthetic instrument sounds like flute - clarinet - trumpet, etc.. ( especially Jerry & Bob i.e. during Space ! ). Personally, I thought Jerry Garcia found his home & arguably his finest-tone ever when he loaded up on the hearty Boss ( Roland ) Equipment in the 80's ( OD-1 / OC-2 / HM-2 etc. ), and this 1988 Spring Tour marks the very end of that Original / Vintage ( whole-hearted ! ) 1980's pre-MIDI sound. However, on a lighter & much more serious note ( April Fools !! ) . . . This-Here ! is Indeed !!! Bobby Weir in his finest Powerhouse ! " 80's Prime ", as he Definitely ! swoops-in to tries to break the finish-line tape & steal the Show ! on this April Fools '88 night. Whoa ! To put it bluntly, this one is one for all of the " Ace-Lovers ! " out there !!! Seriously ... but, not-just ! ... as the whole darn Grateful Dead is " Bringin' It " !!! Believe it, or not ! Whoa !!!!! My advice, ( as this is indeed the ' ballpark ' that I like to play in ) ... Get it ! You'll absolutely love this one, and you'll even get a few good laugh out of it too ! ... Many !! One thing is true ... they just don't make Bands ! like ' This ' Anymore !!! The Good Ol' ((( Late-'80's !!! ))) Grateful Dead !!!!! This is the stuff that I myself live-for people. Why not take some chances, and Bring the Heat ! in Jersey ... because as you'll see ( & Hear ! ) here - if you have yet-to ... the Payoffs are just Huge !!! Wow ... Enjoy this Very-Special '88 Spring Tour Treasure !!!!!
