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

Long Beach Arena

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pacific Coliseum

The interplay during the transition is beyond stellar. 100% on point, my personal favorite version of China>Rider.
