Kicks off this epic set 2. Great version, Jerry's torching it.

This whole show fucks. Even the IMHBTR. Band was a gang of poised killers this evening.

Nice 14 minute version that gets pretty far out there.

A crushing technical error keeps this from being one of the best "Dew"'s of the 1980s'.

Jerry's solo is really good. Sharp tone and strong playing. Phil is also on fire.

What was with the Steely Dan ripoffs (this, Way to Go Home, Samba in the Rain)?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

"Scarlet" is a throwaway. On "Fire," you can tell Jerry is lucid, but in a 'I'm trying my damndest to find the X factor' way, without ever actually reaching it. The drummers carry this one.

Choice version. Really lovely all around.

Sounds like they're gonna go into "Crazy Fingers" at the end.
