Deal

County Coliseum

Well played, gets the show off to a good start

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 25, 1982
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

The transition jam is where this one really shines, pretty good for the era. Transitions into a pretty smokin Samson

Samson and Delilah
July 25, 1982
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

This one has a certain lower groovy shuffle that just allows Jerry to burn

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 28, 1981
Long Beach Arena

Shocked this isn't listed here yet. Played at lightning speed, coked to the gills, but hits all the right spots. Incredible for an '81 version.

Let It Grow
Aug. 28, 1981
Long Beach Arena

Crisp, bright, beautiful and epic. Leads into a phenomenal China Cat. I highly suggest the matrix version on the Archive!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena

Gorgeous and seamlessly connected, a top tier ‘77 Scarlet>Fire
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena

Sick version, underrated
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena

Always a hard sequence to really nail, but they destroy it on this one. Definitely worth checking out.
They Love Each Other
Aug. 16, 1980
Mississippi River Festival

Might be one of the best solos Jerry ever performed. Immaculate and understated.
