Key element of the weirdness of this show for me.

Terrapin Station

West Palm Beach Auditorium

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

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

Dupree's Diamond Blues

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

I didn't hear anything terribly remarkable in this version, and despite a few standouts, thought the show overall had too many weak spots (which is why I overall prefer the 18th), but *TOTALLY* agree about the atmosphere of this show!! This is one of my favorites to throw on when I have 4 hours to move through a show! Vibe on.

Has good performance from Bobby and Jerry quotes “Samson” melody, wrapping this whole sequence up classically.

Stellar version and lifts the set back up after the weak spot.

Super heady shit. The sequence from "Terrapin" through the end of "Space" is top shelf, but the preceding "Samson" isn't any better than good, and I could do without the Brent tune at the end. Agree that a "Wheel" would have elevated this entire sequence into rarified air.

I always feel the exact opposite, but fiery is right! Listen to the crowd singing along and JG giving it right back, firing the whole band up. This is why AUDs rule! The crowd fills in the line Jerry drops, and he returns with a nice lick and by singing his poor throat out on the refrain. A real rip-snorter!
