Terrapin Station
Softly sweet -no rush jazzy west coast vibe here - Steely Dan (ish) at 5:15 with the riff.
10
China Doll
In the basement, lights out staring at the wall - this one's special if you're into these.
5
Bird Song
Concise Jamming! Great footwork from Phil and Jer throws goes off on an Other One riff at 6:20
5
Althea
Althea on Allston Way....
7
Deal
Jer's got a bit in his mouth, Brent's got the lesley spinnin' and the Devils wipe out trying to keep up. Phil nice'n'steady...
2
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Jerry's leads provide serious chills. His playing was on point this entire show
4
Space
JG references Bach again with the Jesu JOMD - funny finding these...
4
Brother Esau
It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Playin' In The Band
Hot Playin>China Doll>Playin. Long and exploratory on both ends, especially for 84.

Drums -> Space
Amazingly smooth -> out of an insane China Doll jam sets up a swirling calypso drums jam, and a Space that has vibes of a huge Dazed and Confused jam
