Excellent bridge. The band extends and extends and never loses their way. Very heady version.

I love the jam on this one. The interplay between Jerry and Brent is excellent. This is the start of a real face melt pre-drums.

Great '84 jammin'. Jer stays on the edge of the tracks almost dropping off and the jam goes on and on.

Cole Field House

Tripped.-out long and interesting rendition. There's no particular direction that this jam plans to go. I like hearing that point where the crowd realizes they've tread new ground with the group.
Mind Left Body Jam

Knickerbocker Arena

Brent driven jam that is in fact great as described.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Yes for sure, this one did slip, through is right. The intro to this Fire is in fact very special. It is just beautiful. What Brent is doing on the keys is, wow, amazing. The band drifts effortlessly into the Fire, as a single being. Fantastic!

The jam rolls and rolls and then almost goes silent before it takes off again. So great!
