The Music Never Stopped
May 2, 1980
Hampton Coliseum

teenagers are known for being full of energy, brash, and immature. So is this Music. It's a young one, but over the top as Weir and Garcia have not one, but two finales where they compete for the scrubbing guitars award. Hot to trot!
Childhood's End
July 20, 1994
Deer Creek Music Center

I love this Childhoods End. Its a real poignant tune and on this occasion, I can feel the warm Indiana sun and the breeze through the corn crops when Phil sings this tune. Jerry's real fragile, and it takes me places when I listen.
Wharf Rat
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

That was Bobby doing the shushing.
He's Gone
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Oh My! An EXCELLENT He's Gone with a killer jam. No one ever talks about this- how did this escape my ears? I've been listening to the night before...but clearly this is the one to listen to. AWESOME!
Looks Like Rain
July 21, 1984
Ventura County Fairgrounds

A very, very enjoyable LL rain. Weir shrieking with passion while Garcia lays it down with sizzling leads behind him.
