Description: Grateful Dead : Dave's Picks 8 Volume Eight : Fox Theatre - Atlanta Georgia ( GA ) - November 30, 1980 ( 11/30/1980 ) : 3 CD : 2013 (1980/2013) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - R2 532998 : Limited Edition Individually-Numbered Set ( of # 13000 ) : Very Rare !!! The Inaugural-Taste ! of '80's Grateful Dead !! delivered by the Limited Edition ( of # 13,000 ) " Dave's Picks " Series ... straight from the Fox Theatre ! in Atlanta, Georgia !! - on the 1980 G.D. Fall Tour !!!!! Dead Fans !!! Now we are Talkin', right ? Three Cheers for '80's G.D. !!! Hah ! Now, That ! is the ballpark that this fan just-loves to play in. And this ' Pick ' - I must admit ... it caught me a bit by surprise ! Considering that a few of the recent releases in this now 2-Year Young Series ! ( whoa ! how time flies ... ) were along the lines of the must-have / no-brainer category ( in a good way, naturally ... ). Examples being the '77 Mosque - Richmond, '74 Hartford - CT, '76 William & Mary - VA, '73 UCLA - CA, and '78 Normal - IL. But this one ? Random to many, but ... in a very-very good way. I actually tracked this ' group ' of Shows down from this Fall/Winter run decades ago, because both the logistics & circumstances were very-interesting - and usually in the world of Live Grateful Dead ? When there is ' Strange ', and/or ' Interesting ' ... there is often Fire !!! And with this run - it is totally the case. Keep in mind, that this was really a 4-Show Tour in November '80 - right through the Southland, and it all happened exclusively in Florida & Georgia - with this 11/30/80 Show being the only performance that was non-Florida ! Now, think back ... considering what the Band did down there in that region - specifically in 1977, and even '73, '85, '88 & '89 as well ?!! Point being, this is exactly-why I tracked these down, way-back in the day ... you know, just " Searchin' For The Sound " !!! And on this November '80 run - they were indeed ! finding that Good 'Ol Groove - but, in a ' Go To Heaven ' infused & power-packed way. Delightful ' New ' Grateful Dead ! This string of Shows followed Eight ( 8 ) ! Shows at the Radio City Music Hall in NYC, where as you well know - the Band delivered both Electric & Acoustic sets, really - for the 1st big time since 1970 ! My point being ... when you play guitar, no matter who you are - generally, when you switch back & forth from Electric & Acoustic ... it is the Acoustic that keeps your hands both honest, and strong. Switch back to Electric - and your chomps are tight & have room to fly ! You can feel that in this run, without question ... that five letter word that every Deadhead loves >>> Tight !!!!! The 11/26/80 Show was in Pembroke Pines, FL, the 11/28/80 Show was in Lakeland, FL, the 11/29/80 was at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, FL - at Alligator Alley ! ... and then the ' Tour Closer ' ? You guessed it ... The Fox Theatre ! - in Atlanta, Georgia !!! A pretty place, with solid acoustic sound in the room ... to put it plainly, this is one of those ' types ' of beautiful & rustic venues - with some serious History ! - that as a musician ... it just makes you want to Deliver ! ... while you & your crew are on stage, doing your thing. And the Grateful Dead on this November '80 night ? They indeed Delivered !!! Set I sends a clear message, that this is a night that will do more than just count - right out of the gate with a hot, slinky & groovy ! Feel Like a Stranger !! Then Loser, Cassidy & Ramble On - with Garcia meaning business ! on this one. And next - a Little Red Rooster that might even have Mick Jagger himself, tip his Devil's Cap to the Grateful Dead ! ... Team Bobby & Jerry !! Whoa ... Then - - - the 1st ' Electric ' Bird Song since 1973 gets unleashed !!! And soon after, the '80's set staple gets played close to perfection - in Lost Sailor > Saint of Circumstance... into, you guessed it - a gritty rough & tumble Deal !!! to close the Set. And for Set II ? Well, a few moments in here do indeed border on not just Classic - but near-Legendary moments ... specifically, in the Scarlet > Fire ! right straight of the gate. In fact, the ' transition ' - with Phil's attack ! has always been a focal-point among fans in my days, as they collectively get-after this one, hammer-down style ! There is cat & mouse everywhere - and at times it even sounds like the mouse might have even gotten the cat !!?! Beautiful G.D. Magic ! here fans ... However, no counting the chips at this point - as a big-league Samson ! follows ... to deliver - you bet ... a ' Sunday Sermon ' for Hot-lanta! Pretty darn hot too ... Then, just shortly around the corner - it's more G.D. Magic ! Descending out of Ship of Fools ... the main ten gets toggled, and the five-finger count ?! Right on .... a nothing short of Massive ! Bobby Weir-charged Playing In The Band, which is beyond note-worthy, and is truly a candidate for the ' Playin' ' of the '80 Year ! - right up there with 5/11/80 - 9/2/80 - 6/21/80 - 9/6/80 - 12/13/80, at least to the ears of this humble Dead Fan. And that, only-fittingly ... into Drums & Space ! The Wheel > Around & Around > Johnny B. Goode to close it up for the night ... and a-Rockin' ! - Chuck Berry style !! And, to finish & make certain that all Fan & Band too Smiles !! are complete ? And Uncle John's Band Encore ! ... which has a slight-tinge of the same exact beauty as the Legendary ! 5/17/1977 Uncle John's played at the Fox, just 3 1/2 years prior. This is a 3-CD Set to treasure, not only in the contents - but in the decision-making of the sound, balance, channel-separation, etc. in the re-mastering process. Yes, as here we again have a complete G.D. release " Must-Have ! ". And now ... let's keep the fingers collectively-crossed for a some more of this '80's G.D. Goodness !!! See, you give a fan a little - and they want a lot ... more & More !!! Hey, it's in our blood ... what can we say. Hail ! to 1980... " Goin' To Heaven ! " at the Fox !! Stellar ..... a Total G.D. Beauty !!! Enjoy !!!!!
