Grateful Dead, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 10-16-81 (SBD)


The OOPS! Concert.  This show was played on Bob Weir's birthday and was unscheduled in the middle of a Europe tour. Since there were no advance ticket sales and save for the scattered “OOPS” posters in Amsterdam’s Leidplein district, no advance notice either. It was first come, first serve at the door. Ticket price worked out to about seven bucks
Since most of the band’s equipment was on its way to Paris, they played borrowed instruments. Jerry sported a Strat styled Yamaha 1000 sunburst guitar and Weir, a white Fender Telecaster. 
 This show features the first Lovelight since Pig pen's death, the first Gloria since 1965, and the only Hully Gully ever played.  Not to mention an acoustic first set.  An amazing show.

  3. Really looking forward to this. I had a very hi-gen copy of this in the '80's, so an actually listenable version is a real treat. Thanks.
