Dead of the Day: 10-10-1982

Frost Amphitheater, Stanford University

Palo Alto, California

Bobby really dominates the show, throwing off some excellent guitar and vocals. But, of course, Jerry is never far from the action, adding incredible runs and simply taking over at points. The New Minglewood that starts things off is not the strongest tune in the show, but it gets things going with some real energy and begins to show off Bobby’s magnificent work. Jerry takes over on the Sugaree that follows with his own fabulous picking, rushing headlong into a series of raucous jams between verses. The Rooster and Tennessee Jed that come out next are also towering, as are Cassidy and Loser. You can make the claim, as do many folks on Archive, that each of these has a place as a best-ever version. But the Looks Like Rain is arguably the best song of the enormous first set. Like a rich, intricately designed tapestry, you can pick out more and more of its artistry each time you listen to it. The China> Rider that caps the first half is no slouch either, sending out a nearly perfect set on another high note. Playin’ takes it out of the break; at only seven minutes, it is a bit more grounded than most versions, never really lifting off into the stratosphere. Instead, we get a bright and focused rendition, right into a magnificent Crazy Fingers, alternatively strolling, then dancing, then soaring across the scene. Crazy Fingers eventually gives way to the moodiness of Lost Sailor, which itself spills into, of course, Saint of Circumstance. Saint charges out of the transition and then gathers even more momentum in the second half while the crowd claps along. After Saint, a fast-paced and rather ordinary Touch of Grey, the only disappointment of the entire night, bridges the gap to Drums and Space. Out of Space, the band fully reasserts itself with a beautiful Wheel, which then heads into an early Throwing Stones. The Black Peter a song later is still another highlight in the show, before a raging Sugar Mags sees out regulation, coming to a full stop before heaping the Sunshine Daydream section right on top, to the delight of everyone, including, it seems, the band. But the night is not over by a long shot with a surprising and so tasty double encore of Satisfaction> It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue. Bobby was keeping his cheesy rock star dreams just below the surface all evening, but finally lets them come out in full force during the Satisfaction. Then Jerry shows him you don’t need to do that at all to create an utterly transcendent scene with the Baby Blue.

Notes:
‘—————————————————————————— Fix of shnid 338 The following patches were made using Rango Keshavan’s AUD source (downloaded from LlaMA, shnid 29315). All editing done in CE Pro. Pitch and volume were matched as closely as possible, crossfades were used on all patches. – Audience noise and tuning just before Loser; a few seconds of tuning from the SBD was deleted since it was just sitting there on its own. – Patched tape flip in Crazy Fingers from 6:28 to 6:42. – Patched tape flip from 6:25 of Drums to the very beginning of Wheel. AUD had flip at 6:39 of unknown length. Patch continues through space, 3 sec cross-fade begins just before beginning of Wheel, last of the fade invades < 1 sec of Wheel. - Patched in end of Sugar Magnolia at 9:58. - Patched in crowd noise and tuning at the beginning of Satisfaction, very quick cross-fade to SBD just before 1st note of song. The transition between CDs 1 and 2 is now seamless. Since I had to edit so many files, I decided I might as well retrack them in CDWave and reencode them as FLAC. There's a jam at the end of Crazy Fingers that I thought was different enough to warrant its own track. All of the 1st set and the encores were time/pitch stretched to 103% since these tunes were all about a semitone sharp. There was a bit of tape wow that made it hard to pin the exact pitch, so I made my best guess - it's still a little off, but definitely within tolerance. Many thanks to David Hollister for the SBD source and to Rango Keshavan for the AUD patch source. Make sure to check it out on LlaMA, it's excellent!

    The first set and encore was the first tape I got in ’86, given to me by a friend. Barely knew who the Dead were, lol. I was on the bus by Tennessee Jed not knowing the good shit was yet to come. The LLR and China/Rider twisted my mind to a place I didn’t know it needed to be. Thanks Shields!
