>>They were that night.

Actually, this was a daytime show, as I think all of the Frost shows were. What a great venue. Relatively hot that day. It was my third show and I'd ingested some fungus for the occasion, and I remember flipping out a bit on "too hot to even speak now."

As a fairly deadicated late 70's listener, I haven't spent alot of time listening to 82. This show certainly opened my eyes, I loved the Touch
/Stones 2nd set opener. THe Morning Dew is just
dripping with juice, good stuff.

That was the West Coast debut of the "new" songs Throwing Stones, West LA Fadeaway, Touch of Grey I believe..

Subject: absolutely ridiculous 2nd set
I'm just going to write a review for the 2nd, although the first is incredible as well. The Throwin'->Touch opener is so different than what both songs would become later in the 80s, Jerry flubs the lyrics a bit in touch, but the tempo and energy are vibrant and beautiful - Phil in full avant-garde mode the entire set, a very pleasing Estimated>Eyes treatment, the Estimated is a monster and the Eyes has some particularly bright jamming, the tempo is more 70s style. The DRUMS>SPACE is UNBELIEVABLE. Primal, ancient, neolithic. One of my all time favorites. Truckin>TOO>Dew with alternate lyric takes, and U.S. Blues caps a jawdropping set.

GIVE IT A LISTEN!

when Weir says "Just like a Swiss watch", he means it. They were that night. Tight. Wish I had been there.....

This show and the one after make up one of the greatest GD weekends ever. From the first note on, this show does not let up!! Check out the Truckin > Other One > Dew, some of the sweetest Dead work of all time!!!

Very nice toilet bowl effect on the vocals, as is expected in 82. Aud patches are a little sloppy, but if you are permanently crisp, you think its reality that's skipping anyway. Its more fun that way, right? Did I just ask myself that question?

Bobby during On the Road Again gets a little more "I don' know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies" than I think I've ever heard. He channels racist cowboy DW Griffith as good as any of them.

And man, check out Jerry doing his best smarmy Dylan during West LA....hysterical. "Movin' red hot items for the mob", and how about the "you treat other people right, other people prob'ly treat you cool"?

This is ballsy, twangy playing throughout, with an unstoppable first set. Jerry's al over the place with the lyrics, Bobby hits some serious clams, but the playing is tight, rockin' and an all around good time. They probably had a mound of yay fit for Tony Montana. You can hear it.

2nd set opening with Throwin'into Touch?! Come on now. The Eyes is at a nice tempo, refreshing for the usual freebased early 80's Eyes. I can smell the bay breezes on this one. Real nice. Space is obviously more chemical fun. Now I smell the nitrous. Can you hear my voice man? Is that me? What? Huh? Hehehheeee. And, zzcccchhhup. There we are again. Scary Other One jam. Very nice and, oh well, let's play Truckin'. "What in the world evermeshame...Took all that dope and had her head reaaranged." "Boopnigh, down in mellowflo..You just keep truckin' on!" OK, now we'll play O1.

Morning Dew, or, according to this cat, Mourning Dew is just tasty. Sat Nite and US Blues, and the party is just beginning. Its time to go back to the hotel and break shit.

Awesome show. Download this...Oh. Right. Well, listen to it anyway.

1.5 for the lunacy, 3.5 for the performance, and 2 more for the clever lyrics, and Weir's neologisms. And another 1.5 for lunacy. That's five right?

Nice running start on Getaway, JerryÃÂáÃÂæs voice is at an in-between stage on this night. The tone he has is great..it wouldnÃÂáÃÂæt be long to that would not be the case, but have no fear Kermit Jerry here. Fun Greatest Story. Then an audience cut comes in and you hear a guy say, ÃÂáÃÂçDark Star will be tomorrow.ÃÂáÃÂè Sorry man, no dice. This TLEO features some neat percussive playing from jerry. Nothing over the top, standard solid version. For fans of the acoustic dead shows, this next one is a real treat. What made bob include, ÃÂáÃÂçjust like a swiss watchÃÂáÃÂè in the first verse of BIODTL is beyond me, but ya know, itÃÂáÃÂæs bobby. This is a pretty decent version. Solid Me & My Uncle>Big River. Jerry really is playing at an extremely high level at times in these years. It is just so damn effortless.

DupreeÃÂáÃÂæs ÃÂáV now weÃÂáÃÂære talking. The show starts to pick up steam here. TMNSP, rolls out in a real chumpy groove. And follows through that way. This version features unbelievable Phil bombs, they are flying out from everywhere. This quickly became one of my favorite versions. Check it out. It segues beautifully into Deal as well ÃÂÃÂÃÂú Not one of your better deals, an average version, although Brent fires up the vocal chords for the final vocal reprise and sends it out on an energetic note.

Always interesting to hear songs in there earlier stagesÃÂáKHere we get a set II opener of Throwing Stones->Touch of Grey. They come off clunky and a tough awkward, but all in all, thatÃÂáÃÂæs just a picky ear, they actually sound pretty damn good.

Nice Prophet, low key jam, but the flow into Eyes is perfect. Jerry is singing with a ton of passion, and the groove is just, there. This eyes is short in length, but long in content. A very fun listen.

The drums is strong, the space is fantastic! Take the time and listen in. YouÃÂáÃÂæll be rewarded by the sweet drop into TruckinÃÂáÃÂæ. The last 5 minutes of this TruckinÃÂáÃÂæ are extremely enjoyable, and you can here the hints of the Other One to come, but they just seem like little riffs, and then kaboom! They drop in full tilt, and immediately set a demented direction. The TOO here is short but spine tingling, which may actually better the describe the dew that follows. Jerry tears it once, then plays a lullaby. Saturday night is standard, albeit fun. The U.S. Blues encore is, despite a few soundboard drops, stellar. Some odd mix between and 81 and a 74 version. Really a perfect way to top of a strong show.

Bobby is really in a weird mood for this show, listen for his odd remarks, and lyric changes.

Sound ÃÂáV 7/10
Show 6.5/10
Overall 7/10

Subject: So Dead On!!!!
This is the Dead at their finest. I'd put this show in the Top 3 of the 1980's (w/5-1-81 and 10-12-84) and it might even sneak into that same category for any decade.

The songs are delivered impeccably, there are new-ish gems (T-Stones, Touch--a perfect transition BTW) that sound slightly different and a bit more interesting as a result than their later mostly uniform inacrnations.

Sound quality of this board is the crispest i've heard in the Archive and I just can't say enough about how damn great this show is. Let it Rock.

Subject: Jerry Garcia Banjo
The locomotive banjo Garcia is all here. One of the best 2nd sets the band has ever played in the 1980's. My favorite all time Estimated/Eyes is here. Touch of Grey is excellent.I love the new Throwin stones. There is something sexual about these shows. delicate and inter-woven. It has an ancient sound to it. Check out the China-cat/Rider and Cassidy from the other night. 5 stars for playing and 4 for quality

Sound quality is great and they are just rocking out on all cylinders - freaking love deal, followed up by throwing stones, and touch. Sweet

Reviewer: tivo - - February 9, 2005
Subject: My All Time Favorite
This show rocks from start to finish!!! The boys were dead rippin'!!! The Truckin'--> Other One... Dew... Sat Night are superb. This entire show is absolutely right on. There are a couple of times when it sounds like Mickey and Billy kick their bass drum while Phil drops a bomb and the frequency drops into a range beyond what the tape, i assume, can handle... i know, it sounds strange... and it only happens a couple of times late in the show when, i'm sure, the volume knob was set at 11 :-) Regardless, the sound quality is excellent. GET THIS SHOW!!

That beautiful, warm autumn day at Stanford. First time the dead played at Stanford since Maples in'73. Everyone who was anyone was there. The Truckin' Other One jam just blew me away. Will always remember that Saturday as the "Stanford Shroom"

Reviewer: RacerX93 - - July 17, 2004
Subject: Better Than Sex
Hey if you were there, next time you see me I'll give you your kiss. And I mean anyone that was there. A whole first set of foreplay, casual groping and then an hour an a half of taking me to the pre orgasmic/post orgasmic in the middle an back and not letting go.
No one was guarding backstage. Hell, no one was guarding any thing.
Dont have your download?
I guess you dont love me. I miss you, call me.
Oh by the way, what was your name?
This show was that good.
