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

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Aug. 31, 1983
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

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

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

Rosemont Horizon

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 :)

Wharf Rat
Oct. 16, 1974
Winterland Arena

Very jazzy Wharf Rat, possibly best of '74?
Wharf Rat

Cow Palace

Best wharf intro? At least of '73-'74 period?
Foolish Heart
Aug. 13, 1991
Cal Expo

Arguably one of the most solid versions of Foolish on every level imaginable
Dear Mr. Fantasy
July 6, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Interesting to note that Jerry sings the first few lyrics without Brent - not sure how many times this has happened
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

The jam in between is to die for - might be my favorite S>F from the mid 80's. + Bobby is just killing it. The SBD mix is perfect
