"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.

All Things Must Pass...

And so too, will this odd skirmish that's been going on around here lately. I would suggest, no one any longer antagonize anyone publicly, and, like a child, not getting the attention they crave they will just fade away. It's definitely not cool to hijack and spam these boards. How about, we offer amnesty, and you stop deliberately trying to hi-jack the page and annoy everyone. There must be a reason you were here in the first place - an interest in the Grateful Dead. So you do have some redeeming value as a human being. Why not revisit that, and give us some more classic, rare Jer photos. Something of value. Take my advice, and all is forgiven. \m/

I heard Day Job today on 10/15/83

I actually like that song. "Ring that bell for whatever it's worth When Monday comes, don't forget about work By now you know that face on your dollar Got a thumb to its nose and a hand on your collar" those last two lines are so true

Liberty

Not that grate of a song....But it sure got played a lot. They should have dropped Liberty and brought back Day Job. Seems Shirdipshit is trying to prove he’s the coolest kid on the playground. As a general rule of thumb, if you have to try that hard to prove how cool you are, you’re probably pretty much a douche.

Daverock and the Constitution

This is not meant as a personal attack but maybe you should have read it and even acted on it. We, the US, got our ideas of the rights of man from the English but we went one step further and wrote it down. The British who have a long and proud history of a liberal constitution but with 2 major flaws. The Primacy of Parliament which givesthem the right to do anything. And a bill of rights that is ephemeral you can't see it therefor the official secrets act. That all said, on this side of the pond there are far too many people including judges willing to ignore Ben Franklin's warning. "Those who would trade liberty for security, deserve neither and will loose both. Me thinks we both need to study up on liberty we're losing it fast
