Merriweather 6/30/85 presents a complete Grateful Dead show from Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, spread across three CDs in softpak packaging, a summer night that captures the band in confident, joyful form.
By 1985 the Dead were twenty years in and playing to bigger crowds than ever, with Brent Mydland settled in on keyboards alongside Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. This standalone release gathers the whole concert, both sets and the encore, and the outdoor setting brings out the band's looser, sunnier side.
Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo opens the night with a bouncing, easygoing groove, Garcia's guitar sparkling from the first bars. The second set kicks off with Shakedown Street, all slinky funk and crowd-pleasing swagger, before He's Gone leads into a long exploratory run through Cryptical Envelopment, Drums, Space and The Other One. The band then lands on Stella Blue, and Sugar Magnolia brings the set home in a blaze of celebration.
Mydland's turn on Gimme Some Lovin' adds a dose of rock and roll muscle, a reminder of how much energy he brought to the line-up.
For Deadheads, it is a chance to relive an entire night from start to finish, exactly as it unfolded.
