Yes.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Key element of the weirdness of this show for me.

Terrapin Station
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Infused with the same reggae/calypso quirkiness from the stellar "S>F" and before.

New Minglewood Blues

West Palm Beach Auditorium

My favorite shows always tend to start with this. Weird.

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

The quirk of this is when I felt the show take on its own character.

Dark Star
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Any chance you could scan/share this with a brother? You've completely sold me on this show and it's one of my new favorites, I'd love to see his walkthrough.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

One of the things that sets this version ahead of some of the other stellar May S>Fs is how absolutely dialed in Jerry's tone is. Listen to it bounce off the hall throughout the Fire.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

For me, this is when the whole show locks in. It's all legitimately good after this, and great in parts, but I really hear the band locking in beginning here.
Beat it on Down The Line
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

If you need a soundtrack for Derby today, spin this!
Childhood's End
Aug. 1, 1994
The Palace

Haha fair enough. I guess I can't really talk, since I never experienced it live. I just wanted to give Phil the benefit of the doubt (let's face it, Jerry's vocals aren't stellar from this period either). Boogie on friend!
