Grateful Dead - Hampton, VA, October 1989 (Live) (2010)

THE DEAD GO INCOGNITO
Formerly The Warlocks Six-Disc Deluxe Boxed Set Contains Both Legendary Hampton Coliseum “Surprise” Shows From October 1989 In Their Entirety
Dead.net Exclusive Release Available For Pre-order Now, Shipping September 1
LOS ANGELES – Billed as “Formerly The Warlocks,” the Grateful Dead played two surprise concerts at Hampton Coliseum in Northern Virginia on October 8 and 9, 1989. Popular among trading circles for years, both of these sizzling shows will be available commercially for the first time in their entirety as a six-CD boxed set available exclusively at Dead.net.
FORMERLY THE WARLOCKS: GRATEFUL DEAD, HAMPTON, VA OCT. 8 & 9, 1989 is available for pre-order now exclusively at Dead.net for a suggested list price of $69.98. The music—sourced from the 24-track master tapes—comes in a wooden box with the cover design burnt into it. The box also contains several reproductions of keepsakes from the show plus an essay by author Blair Jackson, who explains the reason for the Dead’s subterfuge.
“These were not ordinary Dead shows. In fact, they were the first of what would become known during a brief period as “guerrilla” shows—concerts that were announced only a week or two before they were scheduled to take place and with tickets supposedly reserved only for fans living in the immediate vicinity, as a way of eliminating or at least minimizing the traveling circus following the Dead…”
For these magical back-to-back shows, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and Brent Mydland treated the packed Hampton Coliseum crowds to a number of revived rarities.
The group shocked and delighted Dead Heads on October 8 when it kicked off the second set by reintroducing “Help On The Way”>“Slipknot!”>“Franklin’s Tower,” a trifecta absent from the Dead’s repertoire for four years. The band closed the show with a killer version of “Morning Dew” before returning for the encore to sing “We Bid You Goodnight” a cappella; another favorite missing from the rotation for years.
The second set fireworks continued the following night when the Dead opened with “Playing In The Band,” which morphed into “Uncle John’s Band” before looping back around to finish “Playing In The Band.” Then, without missing a beat, the group launched into their first performance of “Dark Star” in more than five years. Saving a final surprise for the evening’s encore, the band returned with “Attics Of My Life,” a song from American Beauty (1970) it hadn’t been performed since October 1972.
