The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 My dad saw them back in the 70's at Rich Stadium. He said they didn't play Truckin' and the reason he had heard, is that they intentially didn't play it in any of the cities mentioned in the song. Apparently, they thought it just ruined the vibe when people would cheer when they heard their city name. But I haven't been able to verify this anywhere on the internet. I've never been a huge fan, but definitely respect them. I've noticed more than a fair share of you here, and figured this would actually be the place to go. @The Poojer

GG Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Same as the urban myths on why Dead stopped playing St Stephen for a while.
Bad Things Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Your dad was probably too high to remember. Just joking. I certainly remember hearing them play Truckin' at least a couple times that I saw them in Buffalo. Just like how they always seemed to play China Cat/Rider whenever I saw them in Denver. ("I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train. I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain...") I miss those boys.

The Poojer Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I know it's not the same and i also know they don't come down under to you, but Dead & Company is doing a very good job, each tour gets stronger 29 minutes ago, Bad Things said: Your dad was probably too high to remember.

I don’t think cheering for a Buffalo mention would hurt the vibe at all, at least I don’t see them thinking like that.

frostbitmic Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I clearly (somewhat) remember at the 4th of July 86 show at Rich Stadium ... "Leaving Buffalo 4th day of July, sun so hot etc ..." It obviously got a loud response from the crowd.

Augie Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I went to some Dead concerts. I’m pretty sure..... ?

I don't remember that, but I was also there, then at the 2 RFK Stadium shows a couple days later. Dylan & the Heartbreakers and the Dead, epic week. So friggin' hot though.

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) This is the setlist from the 7/4/1989 show. NO Tuckin' but check out the art work: http://www.dead.net/show/july-4-1989 That's the show I went to with my Brother. I was still tripping the next day. Went to work @ Dubel's Deli... What a strange trip it was slicing Krakus ham for the old Polish ladies from Cheektowaga. Amazingly I have all my fingers! That was the show that we almost ended up on a bus to Hamilton. Brother started drinking Canadians with the Hamilton crew and almost left town. Good thing we came to our senses. That's right... 10,000 Maniacs opened. Edited November 20, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois
Augie Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 In college in Cincinnati, some guy invited people to stay at his parent’s place when the Dead were in Indianapolis. MANY people. The parents were out of town somewhere. One of the best weekends of my life. I suspect he and his parents have different opinions. I don’t think anyone got arrested, but I can attest......it came very close.

row_33 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Put that on both sides of your microbus and get pulled over and beaten up by the authorities in half the counties you cross on the way to the next concert.

Their only "policy" was to play what they felt like playing. The only trend that I'm aware of was to play "One More Saturday Night" on Saturday shows, but I don't know if they did it every Saturday.
