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 2, 1985, 35 years ago today. The show opened, for example, with an unusual combination of Jack Straw into Must Have Been The Roses. The 2nd set also opened with an unusual pair: Women Are Smarter seguing into Crazy Fingers.  Moreover, the encore featured a cover of the Beatles' Revolution, a tune the Dead played in concert just 11 times in their 30 year history! Download this one and judge for yourself how well the Dead played in celebrating 2 decades as a band!
