The Music Never Stopped

The Palace

Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 6, 1984
Richmond Coliseum

One of the best Scarlet mid solos ever played. Jerry really winds it and every time you think it's going to end, he takes it around again. Fantastic stuff.

Jerry’s got a big grin the whole song. Not sure what was up but this night is not as bad as people say. Fun version.
So Many Roads

I only listen to this once a year on this date. For whatever can be said about Jerry’s lack of presence at this show and throughout summer tour, I feel that he really knew something was in the air and he brought everything he had left here. He wasn’t a magician, exactly, but there’s something supernatural about this So Many Roads.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

An absolute classic, especially with a great video available now. Jerry’s fist pumpin is a lot of fun

Yeah people talk up summer 90 a lot and to my ears it’s good. Just good. Just like summer 89. The hottest parts of this era are just fall 89-spring 90. Fun stuff played on the other sides of that period but it’s less exploratory and deep and more simply enjoyable. And nothing wrong with that!!
