And Okies Dead Days time machine takes us to the landmark Warfield for some tasty acoustic Dead! I wore the grooves out on the live albums from Radio City and Warfield, especially the acoustic part. Now I just click a few icons on my cell phone and here is an entire show from that run hand picked for me by my Dead dealer Okie and it sounds better than the albums did! 😎🎧🌈 Thanks Okie for taking us to this classic period in Dead history. I look forward to 1:00 each morning to open my Dead Days mystery box. 💝 ❓📆 💀🌹
Thank You Okie! This is a special treat to hear. I was there that evening when I was 14 yrs old, my first Dead show and still remember it vividly. Amazing to find a nice recording of the night I was there, their 15th year anniversary. The acoustic session was amazing and I will never forget it and never got hear them play acoustic again but what was also really special that night was the way they finished the night, when they surprised the crowd at the end of the show when they walked back on stage with electric guitars and started jamming Good Lovin; the crowd went totally wild and everyone started dancing, jumping up and down, not one person in the theater was standing still and thought the balcony was going to fall down. The song they finished off the night with was Brokedown Palace. I think I remember it being pretty quiet when the concert ended, everyone blown away and just taking it in. You can find the recording of the last song played that night (10/3/80) on the '81 "Dead Set" album (and it's the last song on the album). One thing I can't find any mention of or find any photo's of, is the lobby of the Warfield. The Grateful Dead pulled out of their paraphernalia they've collected over the years and totally decorated the whole lobby with it to celebrate their anniversary; it was a museum of the Dead through their earlier journeys. If you google images Grateful Dead 15th anniversary Warfield, you'll find a wide angle B+W photo taken off the balcony with the whole crowd toasting to the Dead with champagne. This will give you a really good idea of how it was like.
The Warfield signified the return of acoustic sets for the first time in a decade. On top of that the Dead played their standard two electric set shows, and did maybe a dozen shows spread over a couple of weeks. It was ambitious, like the Egypt trip. It's nice to hear such a pristine board of one of these (acoustic set at least) as they were not making the tapers' rounds back in the day. BGP needed maybe a couple dozen ushers for each show in this venue, which had the feel of an intimate, plush Broadway theater. Paper passes had been given out for the run to the various folks who had volunteered for the job, but people started xeroxing them like crazy, and coming to the theater in dark pants and shirt, and with a flashlight (the amenities of usherdom). I confess to being one of these rapscallions and the night I showed up 75 "ushers" also appeared. Brian Auger, who was the head of BGP ushering back in the day looked at the crowd of us in the lobby, sighed, and just said "Okay. As long as you show people to their seats you can stay. After the third song you can do whatever you want, just don't get in anybody's way. Rock and roll!" and everybody cheered.
And thank you sir Okie !!! You really make the morning Sunshine shine brighter!!!!!🌞 Really needed this, made a 💩 morning bearable!! Much love to you , Somehow you seem to find just the right answer to the morning!!! 😁 I could easily go to archives myself but .... It wouldn't be the same for some reason ? Not sure if the mystery of where and when we will be that day ?!?! Anyway, babbaling now , ... sorry . You just seem to have the keys to " Box of Rain " we all need every morning 😁 😁😁 Keep on Truckin my friend ✌ n Have a most wonderful day kind sir !!!!!!!!!!
@@kevinmaddog3064 I deleted my comment because I misread yours. I thought you meant the late 80s, not late in 80. Jerry was still in good shape in 80 and they were rejuvenated by Brent.

Thanks Okie. Its a beautiful recording!
'80 thru '82 were such optimistic times. Every show I was seeing, they seemed to be getting better. It was going to last forever.
Jeez I bet 🤯🤯

Enjoyed your story !!!!✌
Brian Auger? Oblivion Express?
That's awesome lol
@@charlesandrews2360 Same name, different guy; I thought the same thing!
A passive way to get into a show unlike the gate crashing of the late 80s. Glad you were allowed to stay. 👋
Bless you Okie! Look forward to your posts like no other!
Thanks Okie for posting another blast from the past thanks for your efforts!!🌹🌹

I don’t know how they played so many long show’s in late 1980 whew 😅
Yep right on but like i said later on in the year (1980) they played some long shows with 3 sets at Radio city music hall and Warfield theater.
