    "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.

    I would go with 11/7/69 + Bonus Tracks from 11/2/69. Two classic venues, TC, Pigpen, Jerry playing the Gibson SG, yep. The 11/7 show should fit on 2 discs. Disc 3 could have Midnight Hour, Dancing in the Streets and the Dark Star Medley from 11/2 (maybe even more of that show would fit). 11/7 Lovelight already released on DP16. Great Charlie Miller on Archive. 11/7/69 FILLMORE AUDITORIUM Morning Dew Hard To Handle Casey Jones Mama Tried Me And My Uncle Cold Rain And Snow Next Time You See Me High Time Good Lovin' China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider Dark Star -> Uncle John's Band Jam -> Dark Star -> That's It For The Other One -> Turn On Your Lovelight 11/2/69 FAMILY DOG AT THE GREAT HIGHWAY Cold Rain And Snow Midnight Hour Seasons Mama Tried Next Time You See Me Good Lovin Big Boss Man Casey Jones Dancin In The Streets Dark Star > St. Stephen > The Eleven > Death Don't Have No Mercy

Slowly, their silhouettes became visible and the ambient jam veered towards a full on band jam while the screen simultaneously showed fractal like images of close-ups of the band. Eventually, the band was visible.The Drive-In Jam included a Fireworks tease from Mike and a Little Drummer Boy tease from Page.

    That would be great, if the next pick was from September 1970. The fact that it might be from 1976 is a bit depressing.

    From the "Land of Wild Guesses," my wild guess for DaP 28 would be a show from 1970, more specifically, a restored 9/20/70. However, any show from this September 1970 Fillmore East run will do fine by me, such as 9/18/70. Probably by this time the Dave Pick 28 show has been selected, Jeffery Norman has mastered the selected recording or will do soon, Tim McDonagh created one or more covers, whoever has been assigned the essay is in the process of writing it, Nicholas Meriwether is researching the Grateful Dead Archives for interesting photos, newspaper articles and anything else that would be of interest to purchasers of this DaP 28. Bottom line: whatever show that has been selected for DaP 28, I will appreciate it. There is no real reason for me to complain. The more I listen to this current DaP 27, the more I like it. Yesterday in my car, I was listening to Space and it really changed my unhappy, angry mood to a very happy mood. Garcia's guitar need I say more?

    I am sorry about the cancellation; a major bummer for everyone. Glad you made the best of it the unusual occurrences and synchroncities...Barton Hall 5/8/77 right as you arrive. I believe it. all you can say is, "there it is." side note: going to Oregon coast, we passed through Otis, Oregon. My mind heard "that's Otis" from Reckoning, and saw your name from previous posts in my mind's eye. yes indeed, God Bless the Grateful Dead! another side note: all the recent talk of Phish compelled me to get out Hampton Comes Alive. currently on Split Open and Melt

In my mind, the clues point to 10/18/1972. But I guess we will see soon enough. Seriously, this posted four times and there's no delete button?
