CD: Grateful Dead Dick's Picks 32 Volume Thirty Two Alpine Valley 8/7/1982 2 CD 1st

A Downright Massive! Fall Tour '82 Show at Alpine Valley by The Grateful Dead ! Wow ! Early-'80's G.D. running on All! Cylinders - All Systems Go !

* This is the Very-Rare " Original ! " Grateful Dead Productions 1st Printing of this Dick's Picks #32 release - from 2004 ! It is Not the 2011 Real Gone Reprinting / Re-Issue ! *

Deadheads, I cannot tell a lie - as this may in fact be my favorite Dick's Picks ( definitely ' one-of-them ' ), and it's from the Early-80's !?! But hey, that makes perfect-sense ... if you catch the Boys on the " right-night " - where things are running on all-cylinders, and naturally ... when Garcia is ridiculously Red Hot ! Fellow fans, if you are not already in the know on this one ? Then let me tell you - this 8/7/82 at Alpine Valley was indeed the " Right-Night " - and then some ... as this Show is a complete Mind-Blower ! - at least to my humble Dead Fan ears. And yes, very self-admitted - I live for my " '80's Dead ". The fact is, and the analog cassettes out there have the living proof - when the band comes to really-play in '79 through '90 ? You had just really strap-on the seat belt ... because you're delightfully headed to the Moon ! - on many of nights, and totally-willingly, right ? The Grateful Dead to Planet Earth ! ... " All Systems Go ! ". Wow ... and Especially! from '81 to '86, and in '89-'90. Sure, this set is only two ( 2 ) CD's ( and was sourced from Cassette Masters - which I personally just Love ! ) ... and I'm not saying that it can really fight fairly with say a Dick's Pick #3, #4, #8, #29, etc. ... I mean you get the picture, right ? But all I'm saying is when it comes to this wonderful Dick Latvala Series ... well, this is the set that I cannot help but reach for. Set II is a flat out burner, and Garcia is straight-up Lightning ! The funny thing is that the real ' Fanfare ' on this one is the " Music > Sugaree > Music ! " - which is neat, tight & way-cool. But let me share two vital words with you, and you'll never forget them with this set ... " China > Rider ! ". The Band is on sheer Fire ! throughout both ! Sets - G.D. Live Energy ( & Summertime at Alpine ! ) at its highest with precise & crystal-clean playing. A fantastic recording-captured in its full-essence, and originally spun on Analog Cassette ! The 1st ( of only 2 ) Music > Sugaree > Music. Who saw both of these ? I hope lots of you, as I only caught the 2nd one at 7/3/94 at " The Dump " ( the " beloved " dump, that is ... ) way back in '94 ! But seriously, this China > Rider will really take you for a ride, as Jerry delivers 5 or 6 " Magnificent " different lead-themes throughout the transition - more than usual in this era, and with a fresh-creativity that only the Master-himself could even think to deliver !?! And look out for the Playin' ' sandwich ' into Dew ! too, cause it'll getcha ! This one, and the 8/28/82 Veneta are the two that I have always liked to burn my speakers with - during this noteworthy hot-streak period in mid-'82. As far as Set 2 goes ? Well, after the China > Rider, they could have walked off - Grand-Slam style, if they had wanted - but instead ... Bob & Jerry trade off on Women Are Smarter & Ship of Fools - and then it's time for the Down & Dirty >>> Playing > Drums > Space > Wheel > Playing > Morning Dew ! And trust me, the roof at Alpine is likely still ! feeling the after-effects of this earth-shaker of a Dew ! Then, call it a night for this Amazing ! '82 Tour Stop ... One-More ' Saturday ' Night. This one is the Real-Deal, and all the Thanks ! is owed to Dick on this Pick ... as we just don't really get these ' risky ' picks anymore, and me myself - I live for them ... '83 Hartford ? - '85 Richmond ? - '82 Alpine ? ... just bring it - Live Rock 'n Roll ! at it's very-best to my ear ... the kind that is rewarded, when big risks & gambles are taken on stage. When it works well ? Or, near perfect - in fact ? Then you get 8/7/82 - Alpine ! Much less just being there for this one ... just think how it felt for the Band to play-it !?! An absolutely Wonderful-Night ! of Live-Dead some 40-years ago ?!? - when all the Stars, Planets, and just really everything-else aligned too. Enjoy ! this Grateful Dead " Treasure ! " of a release ... 8/7/82 ! - Alpine ! - Whoa !?!
