Radio City crowd takes the lyrics right out of Jerry's hands. I think even he was a little taken aback by the gesture.

Radio City opening night. Working out tech troubles..but seem to have it dialled in here. Awesome sustained transition..sample hunters take note.

Coming out of the debut of Far From Me (first time he sang a lead?), Brent really had to win the crowd back and delivered Aces.

Jerry really cooked himself through this show..(odd?) night off 12-29 and pretty uninspired on 12-30. Recharged for NYE but can't top this one.

Having some stereo/streaming trouble, so I had to back up and listen to this cut about 10 times. Never my favorite tune...but never say never and Row Jimmy Row.

To hell with lyrics and to hell with the dusty 70's. We want hard shreds and funky jams, and we're damn well gonna get it for the next 10 trips 'round.

Sun so HOT tonight!! Past 2 nights of the run were a little stiff...knew we were saving the fire for NYE. Welcome to the 80's...fast approaching the best few years of the Dead (come at me and NFA)
