It Must Have Been The Roses

Freedom Hall

In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Jerry sounds a bit fatigued, and Brent and Bobby sounded like they carried the first part, till Jerry starts tearing it up some. After a great peak in "Scarlet," there is a nice jam out (with some aggressive playing from Bobby!), and I thought this was going someplace quite different, till Phil reins it in and they slide backwards into "Fire." That begins the oddest "Fire" I've yet heard, and at a glacial tempo.

Haha the first two times I tried, it blew my mind. I was not ready. Took a breather and I'm gonna try it again tonight. Deeply heady stuff.
