BEAM! Very trippy. This show is just amazing. Get the SBDMC>DAT>CDR source.

Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

High Time

There were lots of good Road Trips releases, but this whole show, released as Vol. 3 No. 1, always stood out to me as one of the best. As for the "High Time," it's pretty sweet, but there are much more powerful versions out there, in my humble opinion.

I love the fast lead runs here. Jer would occasionally break these out post-Egypt '78. Flawless execution, and Brent on Hammond organ instead of the toy piano (don't get me wrong, I love the toy piano/Reading-Rainbow-keys sound). It's worth noting that this is from the Dick's Picks 8 show. Despite Latvala's distaste for anything post '73-'74, he dropped this one in the series early. The whole concert is on fire.

What a beaut. Jerry really shows off his singing talent here.

Glad to see this post is getting some attention. Again, listeners need only tune into Brent on the Moog to have their minds blown. Not to mention that Jer work.

Love Bobby's solo section (starts about 11 mins in).
