It take four minutes before they even play the song! And it's a good* four minutes... This Armandinho Macedo is a national hero in Brazil, he invented genres on the level of a Hendrix or Miles... and Leo F. and Les Paul stole it from the Brazilians!

The Grateful Dead would sometimes tease a song at the beginning of a tour, and wait till the last show of the tour to actually play it.

Similarly, some of their songs were usually played in sequence, like Scarlet Begonias followed by Fire on the Mountain, or Sugar Magnolia followed by Sunshine Daydream.  Its foggy in my memory, but I remember seeing a Sugar Mag without a Sunshine Daydream, only to have the Sunshine Daydream appear several days later.  It sounds strange, but back in the day when this really mattered to me, it would leave you feeling unfulfilled till you got the second song closure.  Then it felt like a weight of your chest.

Or, they would often tease something like The Other One during Drums/Space.  This was your signal that if you had to pee you'd better find a bathroom NOW because you knew what was coming in ten or fifteen minutes.

Big Beard knows what I'm talking about.  Those were the days.
 
I've no sound board on pc by now, so can't listen it...

Saying Armandinho is "national hero" is bit too much... He is very very known on the Northeast region of Brazil and with musicians on all the country, he's very talented and very respect here, but I wouldn't put him in the same league as Tom Jobim, who is a legend! :)
 
Imagine that, facts of a Grateful Dead being foggy :laughing7: :occasion14:. Good thing you could record those shows and listen to them later

My favorites were the St. Stephen teases way after they stopped playing it......  Are they gonna bust out St. Stephen?  Nope!
