Only the third performance. The groovy rhythm of the early versions lets Brent's piano REALLY flourish here. Tighter than most other '82 versions.

Deal

Paramount Theatre

Played a little slower than usual, but not missing an ounce of passion. Keith and Donna sound great during the outro.

Johnny B. Goode

Paramount Theatre

Strummin' to the rhythm that the DRUMMERS made. They're pounding their kits while the rest of the band rages behind them. Keith sounds great too.

One More Saturday Night

Autzen Stadium

A good one played on a Saturday night. Kicks into gear in the second half. Brent's organ is stellar, and Jerry's midi textures add flavor to the mix

Not Fade Away

Madison Square Garden

Fiery, with loads of Brent organ and a tight jam. Everyone's totally locked into the groove.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Phil's doing some really creative stuff with this one. Odd and offbeat, but REALLY cool.

Bobby's guitar sounds excellent complementing Jerry's solo. I really think it's the reason why this one is so powerful, and it's a reminder of the chemistry they both had.

Gorgeous one. Jerry sounds amazing. A great encore and a fitting end to a good show.
Jack Straw

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Perfect in every way. This one is a fireball of energy, and easily my favorite. It's not even close.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

A little ramshackle, but VERY creative and has tons of goodness in the transition jam and Fire.
