Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 25, 1983
St. Paul Civic Center

Starts cooking with Supplication, slowly increasing the frenetic space jazz. They nail the landing on the verse and the closing jam is hot

Cassidy

St. Paul Civic Center

Great jam

Estimated Prophet
Aug. 30, 1981
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Great Estimated that packs a solid bridge jam and a long, trippy outro into He’s Gone

Ship of Fools
Aug. 30, 1981
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

This is a good one. Jerry sounds good, the band is tight and the solo is fantastic

Terrapin Station
May 8, 1984
Silva Hall at the Hult Center

Lyrically foggy but played with intensity and clarity. Dreamy guitars and powerful synth swells mixed with 84 darkness and haze. very cool.

Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

A red-hot rock n’ roll Terrapin executed with precision and passion. This is a bombastic masterpiece and the best version I’ve come across in ages. As always, listen to the matrix recording and crank it up! The boys were on fire this night.
Black Peter
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

It’s already such a great Black Peter but then you get this crazy, unique jazzy jam at the end. Unlike any other version.
The Eleven
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

There’s a gentle build to the actual Eleven jam that is just...gorgeous. Emotive and unique, and the Eleven part is fiery stuff
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

Following an equally astounding Scarlet>Fire, this Estimated really brings the goods. Faster than your average version, not a missed note, and some godlike interplay between the boys. Don’t miss this one.
Drums -> Space
Jan. 11, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

A short drums segment with Phil that leads into an extended jazzy full band jam before St. Stephen. Unique and beautiful.
