Clear lines and great tone all 6 string work from Jerry this night. It flows nicely not crazy but really finely crafted work.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

honestly this how I like'em and don't understand how this isn't higher? I must admit I was not a midi fan in the later years ....sure jer's vox was a little rough these tours but dang pay attention to his jamming and you will see he knew it and was making up for it with his playing..... checkout my Dew recommendation from Hampton for another example...

Tons of fun and they show it - Jerry and Brent have great interplay and towards the end Phil throws out some thumpers :)

If you like this one check out 4/14/84 seriously! not as murky to my ears - but this one is great. Also if you are a DEW head check this MASTERCLASS version
