"The Grateful Dead picked up their instruments and hit the first note with perfection. They never missed a note for the next three and one-half hours. People followed the flow of the tunes. Down on the floor in front of the stage was a sea of heads keeping time with the music. No one sat still. No one, except the youngsters behind us sat still. They were still and stunned." - The Power County Press

And what a stunner it was, that show at the Boise State University Pavilion in Boise, ID on September 2, 1983. Dave's Picks Volume 27 contains every stitch of music from this mid-80s show (our first in this series), one that's as good as any other in Grateful Dead history. When the Dead were on, they were ON! Straight out the gate with a definitive take on the old standard "Wang Dang Doodle," the band swiftly switches back to a setlist of yore, firing off 70s staples like "Jack Straw" and "Brown-Eyed Women" and wrapping things up with a terrific trio of "Big Railroad Blues"/"Looks Like Rain"/"Deal" (don't you let that epic guitar solo go down without you). Primed for the second set, they tackle the complexities of "Help>Slipknot!>Franklin's" with heart and ease. It's clear there will be no stopping their flow - Bobby and Brent hanging in for a fantastic pre-Drums "Jam" and Jerry and Bobby in the zone on a not-to-be-missed melodic "Space." Not a skipper in the whole lot!

Dave's Picks Volume 27 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and it is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

Dave Picks #28 vs. 2018 new releases already out

Well, we know we have already gotten the following releases in 2018: 1) Daves Picks 2018 so far - 1977, 1971, 1983(miracle that we got a non-1970s release) 2) 6 FULL shows from 1973-1974 (pacific box) 3) 1968 - anthem reissue plus live show 4) 3 singles package releases 1970-1971 5) The November 2017 Dave Picks release was from 1972 With that said, it seems obvious that Dave's Picks #28 should still be from years 1979-1995...will it be, WHO KNOWS?!? Dave's goto year to keep him in his comfort zone of 1971-1978 should be a release from 1976, BUT I'm guessing for the second release in a row he will move out of his comfort zone, and give us a release from 1979-1982....my guess is a Fall 1979 release, with the long shot being a 1991 show.

too dosed to play

6/8/69 2nd GD set of the night after the middle band and the koolaid seems to have been a bit strong that night. the reviews are interesting to say the least. https://archive.org/details/gd1969-06-08.123986.sbd.miller.flac16/gd69-… this one is all about the banter between songs as they try to get their acts together while ??? plays the 3rd set.

Photo Book about the Closing of Winterland

I think many here would be interested in this new book soon to be published. Full disclosure: Jarid, the author, is a good buddy. Hello Scott, I am excited to announce the launch of the Kickstarter campaign for THIS OLD BUILDING: The Closing of Winterland, a photo documentary book of my rare images punctuated with tails of adventure from those who experienced this amazing event. This limited edition 8.5x11, hardbound, B&W art book celebrates the final show at Bill Graham's legendary music venue in San Francisco on New Year's Eve 1978 with the Grateful Dead, the Blues Brothers, the New Riders of the Purple Sage and thousands of fellow Deadheads. I invite you to reserve your copy for a pledge of $35. Throw down a bit more for additional rewards like gift giver packages or your choice of an enlargement from the book. You'll find all the pledge details on my Kickstarter page where you can view my campaign video, see photos, and hear the story of how this book came to fruition. With the 40th Anniversary of that final night nearly upon us, THIS OLD BUILDING: The Closing of Winterland will bring forth deep recollections and reignite your excitement for this historic event. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/433001477/this-old-building-the-clo... Thank you and stay in touch. Cheers- Jarid

Dave's Picks 27: I still like it

After about 12 listenings to this show, I still like it very much. When I first heard the announcement that this show was going to be DaP 27, sure I'll give it a try, as I do like the early to mid-Eighties. If you recall, I called myself a member of the 70's mafia - but that's another story altogether.Not exactly perfect, but it fits the bill for a 1983 show. have to thank SkullTrip for this one. Thank you, Thank you very much!

Night Watchman

He's missing his rings, four bucks in change.. and I don't think he's asleep.. more like cold and unresponsive. I'm calling the cops.
