I am one in the minority that wished it stayed in the lineup. I have always considered 10/25 and 10/28 - 1 and 2.

'84/'85 was kind for D>S. Drums here jam then a great Space with a slowly building Spanish jam.

Ventura County Fairgrounds

Yeah this D>S is as hot as stated. This Dew is hot as well. Jerry is very proficient in the mid-song solo. It's a hot one. Also any Dew where there is fanning is hot on some level.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway. Extended lyrical sequence, I love when he did that. The band is channeling their '69 selves. No let up at all in this one, and Jerry crushes it in the 2nd solo. Heck the 1st as well.

Mickey's percussions, Healy's vocal experiments and especially the band's energy make this one very heady. It is one of the best of the year.

This is a manic might as well. Great version on a tight night for the band as a whole.

Give me Oct 84 all day every day. This Shakedown was on, a down right dance hall jamfest. Jerry misses an entire bridge and it was still amazing. That was 84 for ya, awesome but not without somei warts
