Grateful Dead -  1985-11-20 - Oakland, CA (SBD) 

1985: In 1985, The Grateful Dead celebrated 20 years together, dating back to their early days as the Warlocks. Dead Heads tend to passionately debate the quality of the music that year. Some feel that the band, inspired by their milestone anniversary, played their best shows of the 1980s, especially during the Spring tour. Others don't believe the music was much different from the prior years, and certainly not up to the standard of 1980, 1982 or 1989. Moreover, the 2nd half of 1985 was difficult period for the band, as Jerry Garcia’s heroin addiction began to consume the guitarist. This soundboard recording captures thee Dead near the end of that turbulent year, on November 20, 1985, 32 years ago today, in Oakland,  right across the bay from them hometown of San Francisco.
