Backstage Pass !! for the " Dave’s Picks Volume 8 " Show !!! : 1980 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Ultra-Rare !!!!!
Whoa !!!  Dead Fans.  Offered here is the Ultra-Rare !! Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the November 30, 1980 ( 11/30/80 ) Show at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia !!  Much-better known here today ( " Since 2013 ! " ) as the Grateful Dead " Dave’s Picks Volume 8 " Show !!!  And … Three-Cheers !!! for '80's G.D. !!  Ha !  Now, That ! is the Ballpark that this Fan just-Loves ! to play-in.  I actually tracked the tapes from 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 - and, most-certainly in a ' Go To Heaven ' infused & powerpacked way.  Delightful ' New ' Grateful Dead !  This string of ’80 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 for 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. " Live-Magic ! " here fans.  However, no counting the chips at this point - as a big-league Samson ! follows ... to deliver - you betcha ... a ' Sunday Sermon ' just 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 humble ears of this 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 ?  An 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.  Hail ! to 1980 !! ... " Goin' To Heaven ! " - at the Fox !!!  Stellar ! ..... a Total !! G.D. Live-Beauty !!!  Enjoy !!!!!
