Archive. Solid sound quality. Raunchy Wang Dang Doodle to start into a fiery Jack Straw. The cut, dry intro to Minglewood is some s***, but they keep the intensity up for Big Railroad Blues. They are on fire on this Deal that ends the first set. Help-Slip-Franklin starts the second set strong! Sweet Throwing Stones right at a year after its debut. Funky Black Peter in a style you don't hear much.

- ★★★★★ · Fabulous show! · Brooklyn Peach · 2007
I was at this show and can attest to it's amazing qualities. 1983 was the first year I joined in on Dead tour, and I thought it was one mind blowing show after another! This summer tour was fabulous all around, with a great parking lot scene! What a great way to see the United States...wherever you go, all your friends are there, too.

Boise 83 please. One show bang out, The Dead had never been here and this was the start of this monster Rockie tour that drips into the South West. This Show hangs with the Red Rocks,Santa Fe and the Santa Cruz shows. Dead at there best, I bet that arena was going bonkers inside. My gosh who are these Deadheads that think the Dead or Jerry is burnt out in 83-84. Herion-schmerion. Save your Junkie Jerry crap. He was so boss in these couple years.

We descended into Boise through wide valleys and rocky crags, newly born from our Montana cradles. The most beautiful girl in the world emerged sky-clad from the parking lot carnival and danced for the cops like Aphrodite-so sweet. They chased her into a receiving crowd and every square inch of their car was covered with stickers. The authorities then bowed their heads, for they knew they were a conquered people.
