A Horrible year with very bad music. But this song is flawless and perfect.

Ship of Fools
Feb. 28, 1981
Uptown Theater

Subtle, sublime, and filled with soul. Powerful, loud and strong at the right moments, and quiet like a leaf falling in the moments inbetween.

Wharf Rat
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is an amazing version for Phil Lovers. Grab the audience tape, turn it up, and be destroyed by massive Phil Bombs.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

Hypnotic groove that will push you higher and higher. Fire. Fire. Fire on the mountain. An ancient rhythm emerges which hearkens to ancient times

The Music Never Stopped
May 2, 1980
Hampton Coliseum

teenagers are known for being full of energy, brash, and immature. So is this Music. It's a young one, but over the top as Weir and Garcia have not one, but two finales where they compete for the scrubbing guitars award. Hot to trot!
Childhood's End
July 20, 1994
Deer Creek Music Center

I love this Childhoods End. Its a real poignant tune and on this occasion, I can feel the warm Indiana sun and the breeze through the corn crops when Phil sings this tune. Jerry's real fragile, and it takes me places when I listen.
Wharf Rat
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

That was Bobby doing the shushing.
He's Gone
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Oh My! An EXCELLENT He's Gone with a killer jam. No one ever talks about this- how did this escape my ears? I've been listening to the night before...but clearly this is the one to listen to. AWESOME!
Looks Like Rain
July 21, 1984
Ventura County Fairgrounds

A very, very enjoyable LL rain. Weir shrieking with passion while Garcia lays it down with sizzling leads behind him.
