Drums -> Space

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Billy and Mickey play together like they were a big octopus on this one. 'The Wheel' comes rolling nicely out of 'Space'. Altogether, a G-rated D>P.

An '82 vintage Playin' sandwich that finds the boys playin' in fine form. DP 32.

Jerry really belts this one out. All of the attention to detail that you'd expect in a version from this era plus a good bridge solo.

An enjoyable listen, but most notable, I'd say, for an excellent little peak that rises up like a volcano towards the end of the jam.

They Love Each Other

Boston Music Hall

A good, light and airy version that shows quite well what this song was up to near the end of its first year in the rotation.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium

Sweet! I love the sound of that young Tiger. Lacey and dreamy solo with enough oomph, here and there, for contrast. Very nice rendition overall. Be sure to check out 4/16/78 for another version which features thrilling exploits on high-tension wires.
Ramble On Rose

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Yup, impassioned vocals and a nice solo that rambles wonderfully through the changes.
Terrapin Station

Oakland Auditorium

Fantastic and undeservedly overlooked.

Darkstar67: I haven't yet listened to this show! It's one of those that, like a special wine or some good bud, I'm saving for later. And it does have some company in certain other legendary shows that I'm sitting on, as well. Something to wonder about and look forward to! Anyway, it's good to see that it has yet another feather in its cap in the form of a big NFA, as the NFA from 4/22/78 is one of my personal favorites.

Check out 8/7/82 (DP 32).
