Not Fade Away
Dec. 2, 1981
Assembly Hall

I'm usually a fan of 70s "NFA"s, and this one seemed to be in a similar vein. Jerry seems patient on this one, letting it build through collective effort and not force of will, and the result is something special.
Terrapin Station

Assembly Hall

The slight accelerando before the "TS" section gives a lift, and while there's little jamming in the song proper, it gives way to a short but sweet "Space." The AUD tape on the archive is a decent one, and lets you hear the "Space" come at you.

Def. is the fastest I've heard (does anyone know one faster?). Loved hearing Jerry stretching his technique on this one, and landing some quirky, interesting, and mostly clean lines.
Playin' In The Band

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Stellar version. I checked out this show bc my man cgarces recommended it elsewhere. Wild opener to a great show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

this whole show is one of Dave's favorites from the entire year, FYI. (edit because I didn't want to keep posting on this:) in every aspect of this version, you hear each band member doing their individual best to make even the simplest idea incredibly musical.
