    "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*.

    Winterland NYE’s Bonus Disc
    Think it came with the Closing of Winterland DVD. I didn’t subscribe to Road Trips because I only wanted complete, or nearly complete, releases. I bought those full show releases. I eventually bought WOS 74 and 10-21,22-78. Looks like I should have preordered those since the bonus discs included more of the shows.

    There are 2 more bonus discs that were released with DVDs, not CDs. I have one but not the other. I am not at home right now so I am not in a position to find what they are. More info later...

    Judas Priest
    First live band I ever saw, 7 years old. They opened for KISS in'79 at the Spectrum. I was so confused because I had no concept of an opening band, these dudes didn't have make up or any songs I recognized, and it was too damn loud to ask any questions....

    Paicey is outstanding, underrated, not often discussed in the same breath as the greats. His drums sound amazing. He gets in the rock drumming hall of fame for the beginning of "Woman From Tokyo," alone. And he hits that again in the middle of "Knocking At Your Back Door." Goosebumps the first time I heard that and I still love it. I'm seeing Purple/Priest next month. I would imagine Purple will open, because who could follow Priest? But in my heart of hearts Deep Purple ranks above Judas Priest in the entirety of their classic catalogue. \m/

    Road Trips bonus discs
    There were bonus discs issued with the Road Trips series, starting with Vol. 1, No. 1 (late 2007) up until Vol. 3, No. 3 (mid 2010) so there were 11 bonus discs. After that it was announced that there would be one bonus disc per year (like the current Dave's Picks bonus discs). The 2011 bonus disc came with Road Trips Vol. 4, No. 3 but as the series finished with Vol. 4, No. 5 at the end of 2011 there were no more Road Trips bonus discs.

    Point proved, I think. I never even knew there were bonus discs with Road Trips. The bonus disc for Vol. 4 No.3 actually looks better than the main three discs-which, coincidentally, I am half way through listening to.

    Great drummers
    On the subject of great drummers, Ian Paice with Deep Purple was and indeed still is, amazing. His introduction to "Fireball", immediately following the whooshing sound of that backwardly recorded fan, is one of the best things in life. Or at least heavy rock. All of "Made in Japan", as has been said on here before, is incendiary.

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?
