Only the " 2nd Taste ! " of '80's Grateful Dead !! ... " Early '80's " G.D. !!! ... delivered by the Limited Edition " Dave's Picks " Series ... straight from the University of Colorado - in Boulder, Colorado !! ... on the Winter Tour '81 !!! Mean !! Garcia !!!!! Dead Fans !!! Now we are talkin', right ? Three Cheers for '80's G.D. !!! ... the Official " 2nd " Installment of '80's-Dead ! from the Dave's Picks Series !! And too, even a little " Nastier ! " than the 11/30/80 Atlanta ( Dave's Picks 8 ) release as well - at least to my humble Dead Fan ears. Ha ! Well-post the " Go To Heaven " Era - and Garcia is just a little bit more in that one & only ... down & dirty " Jerry Guitar ! Zone " !!! Which, he lived in mostly ( & so-Thankfully ! ) in that Mesmerizing !! Late '70's / Early '80's to Spring 1986 " Fret Board " Focused ! G.D. Rock & Roll Era !!! Wow !! As That ! indeed is the Ballpark that this-here Dead Fans just-loves to play in. And this ' Pick ' - I must admit ... it Completely !?! caught me a bit by surprise ! And, a Real-Pleasant-Surprise ! at that. How this one got out on pro-release before the 1980 ( ' Un-Official ' 15th Anniversary ) CU Boulder Shows is beyond me ... but wow - as I'm So-Incredibly Grateful ! I mean here you go Dead Fans !! ... and most-likely too - Fans of CU !!! Well-over 40-Years Ago ! ... on the '81 G.D. Winter Tour !! ... as the Good Ol' " '80's " Grateful Dead Absolutely Rock & Rolled !!! the CU Events Center - on the Proud Home-Turf ! of the Colorado Buffaloes !!! The Glorious ! December 3, 1981 ( 12/3/1981 ) Show Pro-released as a part of the Dave's Picks Series ( Dave's Picks Volume 20 ! ) at the University of Colorado Events Center - in Boulder, Colorado ( CO ) !!! This Tour Stop in Boulder was the Final-Night of a short 6-Show Winter Tour run in the Mid-West / West ! ... and a Hot ! one at-that !! Grateful Dead ' Winter ' Tour in '81 - with likely the greatest-importance being ... " So Boys, Just How-Was that Europe Tour !!?! " So do you catch my drift on this one ? There were only really Six ( 6 ) ' immediate ' changes to hear how things were sounding for the Band, after a fairly-sizable - and significantly-underrated ! " Europe '81 " Tour ! - a sort of " Home at ( instead of ' Winterland ' ) - University of Illinois > Madison, Wisconsin > Market Square in Indiana > the Rosemont Horizon in Illinois > Des Moines, IA > University of Colorado - at Boulder ! " Well, you know - not quite ' Home ' -- but still definitely " back-home " in the U.S.A. ... with the U.S. Dead Fans !!! I believe the 1st taste I ever did score on tape of this '81 mini-Tour was from the 12/5/81 Market Square Show, and ... I kind of did a bit of a double-take, because I really was short on '81 G.D. following the Europe Tour ?!? Well, I fixed that ... real-fast - with the Dane County ( 12/3/81 ) show being the next, and then this Smoker ! of a 12/9/81 Boulder Show, and then the U of Illinois Show too - right after. In the '80's, Soundboards from this run were indeed few & far between - as most Folks I knew at the time were circulating Audiences - and, very-nice ones at that. Everybody seemed to want these Shows dialed - as the Band was So-Hot ! ... plenty Fast & Quick ! too often, on tempo & timing ... Challenging themselves & the Audience too ! - in a Grate-way ... I mean " how hard can you Dance " !!? Ha ! Some of the Prime / Primary days of the " Lay It All Out " '80's G.D. Attitude, with copious-chances being taken ... which often equal = G.D. Live-Magic !!! Another source of the popularity of this run, is that it indeed included a few College Town Shows - and, if the Show wasn't actually " at " the College, there was one not too far away, around the corner ! With, this 12/9/1981 Show right in Boulder ! on Campus !! being no-exception - and really being the norm as of late, in fact in 1980 / 1981. As the Band also choose to deliver a Red-Hot !! 2-Show run on Summer Tour '80 at CU Folsom Field ... as the Official / ( Un-official ) / Official !!! " 15th Anniversary Shows " of The Grateful Dead !!!!! Why not in Boulder, right ? One-of the Prettiest ! Towns in the U.S.A. ... and in the Early-1980's ?! Wow !!! And here in '81 these were really still the days where a 12-Song 1st Set was a possibility, while at this Show - the Band delivered one, and delivered it very-nicely !! Cold Rain > Jack Straw to Open ! Denver-Man ... Yeah ! A hot Rooster, and a way-exploratory Bird Song ! One of ' those ' Bird Songs that almost needs to be played in an ' Indoor ' Venue ... so-delicate. The Cassidy was Weir / Garcia Lightning ! ... and, saving the best of last naturally in Set I ..... China > Rider !!! in the 11/12 spot ! Killer !!! Scarlet > Fire ! opened Set II - and, a lengthy & juicy one at-that ! The Other One Smoked !!! And, Bobby brought some serious-action in the Good Lovin' - 1981 ... the emergence of Bob Weir !! - Love-it. U.S. Blues > Satisfaction ( Hot !! ) for the Encore, and that was all she wrote for this little " Huge ! " '81 Winter Tour - with only a small handful of California dates to follow. Wow ... and check this out too Fans --- as this 12/9/81 Show was actually the Very-Last & Final ! Grateful Dead Show ' Ever ' in Boulder, Colorado !!!?! Dang though, did CU Boulder ever get a toe-to-toe '81 G.D. Heater right here !!! A Fantastic Dead Show ! ... Incredible ! Audio-Sound !! ... and a Very-Fine ! Audio & ' Artistic ' Piece of G.D. & CU Boulder Colorado History !!! Enjoy !!!!!
