West L.A. Fadeaway
Definitely something in the water in Eugene...I have a guess

Althea
Brent stands out, and nobody else is far behind in this one...Jerry seems unusually focused for the era
2
Terrapin Station
They return to the coda at the end essentially finishing the sog instead of it just drifting off like it usually does into drums,unique as far as i no
6
China Doll
1983 has some amazing china dolls add this to the list
1
Me and My Uncle
Jerry was a pickin' and a grinnin'.
2
Don't Ease Me In
Inspired guitar and vocals from Jerry..
1
Playin' In The Band
Another splendid Playin' > China Doll > Playin' from 1983!
1
Cold Rain and Snow
Rare second set opener with fast tempo
1
Alabama Getaway
Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!
1
Dupree's Diamond Blues
One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really
2
Truckin'
Like the way this one slithers out of space like a snake very creative intro rising from the ashes. Crowd gets involved.
1
Mexicali Blues
Nice cowboy psychedelia. Jerry giving the notes that extra little punch and Bobby sings with gusto. Nice after a perfunctory me and my uncle
1
Stella Blue
Absolute chills. Good one. Hear me out.
1
Around and Around
Jerry’s hitting some real rockstar riffs. Does nearly fall onto its face into Good Lovin though
1
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Rockin! And Jerry got all the words ha! No really, such a fun, solid 83 performance.
