Heavy (and long) drums, short space, > Dark Star, but it sounds like they stay in Space for the monster post-verse 2 jam.

Throwing Stones

Hartford Civic Center

Date's wrong. Usually not a fan of this tune, but the jam blows up mid-song.
St. Stephen

Civic Center

Worth a listen from the jamming from "Space" into "Stephen," and I find it interesting how the band move through those conceptual spaces in the transition. You can almost here when the first jam gives way to a "Stephen" jam.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 15, 1983
Civic Center

I loved Brent's organ and synth colors at the start of this. The vocal jam is alright, and Garcia plays a short but tight lead. This is the opener of what I believe was Trey Anastasio's first GD concert.

(He makes up for it in the ending vocal jam, btw).
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This is perfect and everything I love about 80s Dead. I love Jerry with an organ player!
