April '78 goodness right here. This band's ability to shift dynamics from quiet to rock 'n roll loudness never ceases to amaze me

Smoking Deal! Jerry’s guitar tone in 1983 was remarkable

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Rainbow Theater

Geez, the jam in Saint builds and builds and builds until it feels like your head will explode. Excellent!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Rainbow Theater

^^ agreed, this is excellent. The Scarlet solo is nice and long and Brent does some cool stuff in the transition. The Sailor>Saint that follows is stellar too..

Underrated Bird here flying under the radar. Dream-like quality to this one similar to the version played eight days earlier in Vancouver.

Phil launches into the bossa nova style jam around the 3:30 mark that was unique to ‘73.. solid version
