Berkeley Community Theatre

this is a perfectly fine version, but this is about finding other songs from this concert that are registered but not showing.

Kinda' surprised this hasn't been listed. It's a worthy version.

Love the build up post lyrics as the band warms up the groove before Jerry kicks in. Very hard rockin' version.

Great start to the best of the London shows of this run. Fun banter from Bobby before the music starts. "...now we play for Clyde" Also nice jammy noodling before song begins.

This deserves some attention. Not having a good SB copy prevents further appreciation of a fine example of 1981 classic. However, there are many interesting parts to this version which keeps it upbeat and entertaining throughout. Probably my favorite early 80's Scarlet>Fire

Good solid version, representative of the time. I think it beats the Texas version of the same era noted at a higher level.

As noted earlier, better than the Red Rocks version a few days later, in whole. Each has it's own strengths, but the interplay of Jerry and Bobby at the finish puts this in a special place.
