Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

Playin' In The Band
July 17, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

No major meltdown but a nice and mellow PITB that segues into China>Rider. Very rare transition indeed - perhaps the band was trying to spice things up a bit
Row Jimmy

Fox Theater

Have to agree with the last comment, starts out mediocre but as it chugs along it hits the sweet spot
Dark Star
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

6/8 Jam similar to many others, such as that found in the Other One on 7/1/73. Most definetely the highlight of the show - truly makes this Dark Star fantastic
Feel Like A Stranger
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Very laid back compared to earlier Spring '90 versions. Laid back show as a whole but the energy is still fantastic Edit - its been released officially (~):)
