This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

Somebody we all know gets into the solo and starts forgetting where he is in the song and making it longer and more awesome.

I don’t have much to add to what grendel says. The Fire is loud, clear, confident and I also prefer the matrix to the sbd which lacks the warmth that you get with the matrix without sacrificing clarity. An all time Fire.

This one is for real. Great solos, bob on slide is doable, and I would check any other boxes too

Jerry’s playing is sharp and clear, and he is clearly into it. This one is going to stick with me for a while.

Richmond Coliseum

Great energy between Jerry and Brent once the outro gets going. This is a good version from the early 80s which for some reason is often overshadowed by 89-93 Deals. This is every bit as good and I like the October 83 sound here and elsewhere.
