Grateful Dead - 1985-07-13 - Ventura CA (SBD)

In 1985, The Grateful Dead celebrated 20 years together, dating back to their early days as the Warlocks. Deadheads 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 80s. Others don't believe the music was much different from the prior years, and certainly not up to the standard of 1987 or 1989. The band most certainly did make efforts to shake up their set lists in 1985, as can be seen in this soundboard recording from July 13, 1985, 34 years ago today. The show opened with One More Saturday Night, normally reserved for the encore position, and featured a Fire On The Mountain sans its normal partner, Scarlet Begonias. The show also featured Comes a Time and Cryptical Envelopment, tunes that made their way back into the set list in 1985 after long absences. Download this one and judge for yourself how well the Dead played in celebrating 2 decades as a band!
