Pauley Pavilion

The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

"We used to play for silver, now we play for Clive . . ."

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Assembly Hall

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Some nice playing from Jerry in the solos and transition.

F– I think this is actually the first '81 I've heard. This is killer stuff. Garcia's in great voice, and the band is fantastically tight.

Wish they hadn't stepped on the proverbial rake in the transition though.

Decent version. Worth a hear.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Uptown Theater

I'd give the "Scarlet" less then 'meh,' but I also liked the "Fire."

Nice support from the rest of the band too!
