The tour story:
We had one day to get from Eugene OR to Boise ID. We had driven through Wyoming on the way out to San Francisco so had not done the route through Idaho. The two states share a border and it seemed to us to be closer than the drive ended up being. None of us had ever been to Idaho and the thought was the Dead were playing in some laid back country town. It turned out the University of Idaho is there, was a pretty bustling town and the show was in the pavilion operated by the university. The place was nice, sort of new at the time but small, like the arena at UWV. On the drive into town was the famous "Boise Welcomes the Grateful Dead" banner across the road into town. I assume that is what Phil was referring to in the opening of the show when he stepped up to the mic and said: "Citizens of Boise-Submit!" The band was in top form after their Hult run and it seemed they were happy to be a bit less constrained by curfew times playing a 10 song first set and a whopper second set including the by now every third show of 1983 Help>Slip>Franklin's throw-down. The second set including encore goes 1 hour 45 minutes; even then we noticed how they seemed to be having a blast without the tight curfew.

The band was relaxed, there wasn't a huge Deadhead contingent in the audience so there were less "expectations of the band at this show. I recall there were tickets available at the local box office and all of us wound up with good seats, including Chris, Tom, and I who were about 12 rows back Dead center with the mic stand and three D5's. We did get the usual questions and some sideways looks, but by the time Tom had given stickers to their girlfriends and the first set was over, there were zero complaints about the mic stand and all our GD clutter. The Wang Dang Doodle > Jack Straw opener set the tone for the evening with Jerry's vocals and Phil's bass bathing us with Dead yumminess. The rest of set 1 was classic Dead  with just enough "cowboy" influence for the Boise vibe. The Help > Slip > Franklin's came out in its' every third show slot for this tour and was well played given a few flubs heading into Franklin's. The Estimated > Eyes is slow and deliberate with the tunes out of space played in a very tight manner. The night closed with a pretty Baby Blue sending us off into the evening toward the University and some late food. We did stay there that evening but got ready to head south for Salt Lake City the next morning. I think one of us had worked at or been skiing at Park Cities so we were anxious to make it to the resort town.
