I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

Weather Report Suite

Freedom Hall

Band is on point. This was a great sequence of songs. The jamming is strap in and go. WRS was the catalyst to some of the most epic band improv ever played.
Desolation Row

Knickerbocker Arena

Yupp. This one is great. In a 1st set where they could do no wrong . Slow or fast everything worked.

This Alpine box set is going to be great isn't it? Tight version with everyone listening to each other. Lots of great energy.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Where's the love people? This 420 show is sold one. Like most '84s it's a bit rough here and there but overall very good.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

Great energetic creative versions of both songs. Jerry demonstrates some of his more intricate finger work in Fire and not just his amazing creativity.
