Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Really, really nice. Jerry is into every line and note, even if the song is not yet fully formed or even finished and maybe a little bit of a mess.... Historic. Listen to the crowd, noticeably quiet at the start and at the refrain of "We will get by, we will survive!" the howls and roars begin, even though it's their first time hearing it. Great show. The fall of '82 is pretty much underrated.
