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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

Talking 'bout a Fire on the mountain. I love the bass solo that leads them into the bridge. Jerry is no no rush here. Not the highest peaks version but so good in many ways.

If just only for the mid-song solo alone this one deserves more love. Jer's solo is so chocked full of 77 goodness. It goes further than many before or after.

Jerry digs into several part of his solos in such '77 kind of way. There is a lot of "wow" to be had.

OMG. Sorry for using OMG but this one is unbelievable. Wow. All due respect, give this one a whirl.
Terrapin Station
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

The band is on. I realize this statement is overused but it's what kept us coming back. '82 was a very good year. Brent was using more of piano tones and it sounds great Phil is a creative force and starts his bomb fest in late summer and into the fall the drummers and the rest of the band were focusing on every bar in each song and you can tell. This Terrapin is great it has a '77 new and strong feel to it.
