1983 Summer / Fall Tour stop at BSU! - the Proud Home of the Broncos! - even in a " Brand New " Outdoor Music Shed too!
Because if you are just going to get " 1 " - then yeah... The Good Ol' Mid-'80's!- they way they are Meant! To be played properly' Live' - and yeah... Deadhead was so-fortunate to even get out of here alive... As this is a Live-Dead Attack!!! Did we just get a Mid-'80's!
Dead Show from the Dave's-Picks Series?? It's in my hand right-now - so... I know that we did!Words do absolutely' nothing' here my fellow Fans - so just Hit-Play! - from 1965 to 1983! It's even a " One & Done "?? Have to say to the Boise State!
You Are A Conquered People!!! Just like they say -' Words' are one-thing, and Proving-It! As that sure didn't take long. And, let me just say this super-quickly...
Just think " 7/8/90 " - as there are some serious' parallels' here, right off the top of my Dead-Head memory... Because " On-Paper " these Shows might " Look " like 5's & 6'es - but, if you put on the headphones &' listen' - or, even better yet...
Well, yes indeed - as these are " On-Paper " Setlist-disguised Shows (which' appear' to be maybe a 5 or a 6) - but, in reality... 8's - 9's - and no-jokes...
Maybe even 9.5's!! So, keep this in mind (for sure). Which, you'll really only even need to contemplate during ahhh... Like the very-beginning of Jack Straw? Of what soon-becomes a Furious!
No-one's off the hook here - because you've also got to deal with Bobby!! " Wang Dang Doodle " and it is On!!! I mean hell, I've already decided that This! Release or, you know - here in today's times..." re-release " in 2018 thus far - by Any-Band!! And, if you happen to doubt me here at all... Just play the' Wang Dang' & listen to Bob, Phil & Jerry! - play the' Big River' & listen to Jerry!
- play the Minglewood listen to Bob & Jerry! - play the' Big RxR' & listen to Jerry!! - play the Deal & listen to Jerry!!! You'll likely be begging for just at least a little-bit of mercy, at this point - but, The Boys aren't going to give you Any! As you'll soon see that Phil's claim was no-joke at all...
& they are' Making' You Submit!!! And, when it comes to' Tone! - just forget about it... How should I say this - well, for starters... Yeah, right - Position-3 Switch on the' Dual' DiMarzios + Unity-Gain Buffer forging the path for this Heavenly-Piercing!
This is Jerry at his flat-out Best! On the fret board, and frankly (yet, also' politely') - I don't care what anyone else says.
Go & read or listen to a few of his (own)' Interviews' from this " Magical " Dead Era - and yep... He'll tell you all by himself >>>'79! - or, you know what I'm saying... And so now it's' Time' to Talk-About...
Because this one can't-even be talked about - it's SO-HOT!!!!!!! And plus, we already touched on the clear (& clearly-audible) Unity-Gain Buffer advantage here...No boost pre-amp, protecting Tiger's! High-end loss - and frankly, this is like an " Exhibit-A " here - just like Garcia himself did once say Ha! Just look at it this-way - this is like the 10th or 11th (can't remember exactly-which) Help > Slip! > Frank during this Glorious!
83-'84 revival-period - so, you know pretty much what I'm saying here hopefully? In the fresh & ready...
And, another thing too - History-Wise! - this is actually the Classic'83 Tour! - Manor Downs - Austin! What else can you say other-than... Phil's a Really-Smart Dude! Tour & see some West Coast! Country - while also " Rocking-It "!! But, still don't think for a single-second that even Phil himself wasn't struggling at times driving-around & dodging All! Hand-written sings on the Freeways! - just like it said on the Alton Kelley'83 Grey! And, you know darn-well this one is just " That-Good " - if we are even-going' There'...Can't move-off my MacCourt'78 (DP #23) #1 Pick as my own sentimental " Best " yet. As, at least for me... It will likely' always' be #1. And, I've got to just call it like it is here Folks - as for me & my ear & my taste and style in my Live-Dead... Want to put this one as #2!!
In the 1st Twenty-Seven (27) Dave's Picks - because right-now, I'm more excited about this "M"assive "M"id-'80's release than any-piece of Music in my entire Live-Dead arsenal! And, to make this even funnier... I already even have the Cassette Masters! But, it's just sounding So!
Incredibly-Good to me right now. But, even with that said - it would pretty much be' unfair' to put this above Binghamton'77 (DP #25) & UCLA " The House That Bill Built "'73 (DP #5) - simply because of... Well, you know - all " obvious-reasons ". For me & my ears - and quite-frankly... Right-now it's actually a " Temporary #1 ".TRACK LISTING >>> Recorded' Live' at the BSU Pavilion at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho (ID) on September 2, 1983 (9/2/1983) : Disc 1 : Wang Dang Doodle > Jack Straw They Love Each Other Mama Tried > Big River Brown Eyed Women New Minglewood Blues Big Railroad Blues Looks Like Rain > Deal Disc 2 : Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower Estimated Prophet > Eyes Of The World > Jam > Drums Disc 3 : Space > Throwing Stones > Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad > Black Peter > Sugar Magnolia.
