    Anyone who has ever seen the Dead can testify that one of its shows will add quite a bit of color to the environment here at Stanford. Anyone who has not seen one of these spectacles should have the opportunity to do so. The Grateful Dead are an important part of the Bay Area's cultural history. Those of us who saw them last week can testify that the Dead are alive and well. The Concert Network would be hard-pressed to find an act which would bring Frost Amphitheatre to life as the Dead would. - The Stanford Daily

    As you know by now, we'd certainly have voted aye on this motion, so much so, that we've loaded up DAVE'S PICKS 49 with not one, but two complete Grateful Dead shows from the Frost Amphitheatre, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA 4/27/85 and 4/28/85. The first shows from '85 in the series, these back-to-back hometown performances couldn't be more different while delivering the same level of passion and precision, five hours of it, in fact.

    In 1985, the band were celebrating "20 Years So Far," a feat that found them on these particular nights confident with invention in terms of both setlists and playing. There are old songs renewed, rare covers revived, undeniably nuanced Jerry moments, and a few surprises from Brent Mydland too. While it's impossible to select highlights, we can say with certainty that the overall clarity of these shows is unparalleled, courtesy of Dan Healy's recordings.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 49: FROST AMPHITHEATRE, STANFORD U, PALO ALTO, CA 4/27/85 & 4/28/85 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

    Randomly put Blues for Allah on the turntable. Pretty sure it's the same copy I bought in the '70s,. Sounded great! Might even be my favorite studio album.

    I'm going short here because everything I write that's over about 30 words gets Hey Nowed.

    Suck it, Hey'ders!

    The Police are best known to me for introducing The Cramps to Britain when they had them as a support band around 1980. The world took on a new promise.

    ....found one of the first records I recall purchasing with my own money.
    Zenyatta Mondatta - The Police.
    I liked the cover and the name.
    No skips.
    Circa 1980. Checks out.
    If they ever reunite, I will have five browsers open and hang out at the library down street. Just in case.
    And if they play Canary In A Coalmine, look out!
    My mom drove me to all the cool record stores.
    Thanks mom!

    Anniversary show 2/28/86 Garcia & Kahn

    38 years ago yesterday, my brother and I were up at the Marin Civic Center to see Garcia & Kahn put on a knockout acoustic show. It has been officially released, and if you don't have it, get it. David Nelson & Tom Stern opened the show. After the show we went over to Berkeley to Everette & Jones BBQ. What a great time.

Had to look that up.
The spoken part between:
Redemption funds,
Stocks and bonds.
Scruggs, the master of the three finger rolling style. Changed everything.

For a real good time!
Hopefully we won’t have to wait another 10 YEARS for some 85 love!

Well 49 old friend, it’s been a gas but I guess it’s happy trails for awhile.
Tanks for the memories

Yes, good to see at least this one sell out. Such a great release. Just revisited this last week. Shows the depth of the vault if you like most eras, which I do.

Can't believe the others are still available. Might have to revisit #46 tomorrow.
