Dave's Picks Volume 27 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on September 2, 1983, at Boise State University Pavilion, in Boise, Idaho. It was produced as a limited edition of 18,000 copies and was released on July 27, 2018.
In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "As archivist David Lemieux recounts with his usual erudite and passionate liner notes, this is the first release from this period in the vault series, presenting proof positive that the iconic band could be absolutely brilliant, even at this juncture, on the cusp of a comparatively fallow period in its career. Implicit in the selection of this complete show at Boise State University is the crucial importance of Brent Mydland's contributions to the ensemble..."
On jambands.com, Kristopher Weiss said, "As it goes, Volume 27 presents a good – not superior – Grateful Dead show, famous in part because it represents the band's only concert in Idaho and kicks off with Phil Lesh's on-mic admonishment, "Citizens of Boise, submit or perish – you are a conquered people" as the band launches an early version of Willie Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle".... Hot moments notwithstanding, 9/2/83 is not the show with which to turn friends on to the magic of the Grateful Dead."
