4
Brother Esau
Sweetness outdoors in Santa Fe.
4
The Music Never Stopped
A rainbow full of sound
5
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Bright, uptempo version with Jerry on fire throughout
2
Cold Rain and Snow
Unusual spot for it as the encore. A bit ramshackle but Jerry's in fine form.
2
Playin' In The Band
More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.
1
Drums -> Space
Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.
3
The Other One
Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.
1
Big Railroad Blues
Much like 9/2/83, this one is just rippin’ and goes on and on
1
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Great version with some great banter from Bob: “If it’s any comfort to anyone, in 1890 in Cairo, Illinois, it rained fish
1
New Minglewood Blues
Super energetic with a great noisy Bob solo
1
Beat it on Down The Line
Super high energy coming out of Big Railroad Blues, great playing all around, especially Phil and Jer
1
Tennessee Jed
‘83 Jeds are always wonderful, and this is no exception
