This version has two swells – one in the middle and one towards the very end, and they are both triggered by Brent rapidly building the keyboard sound and Jerry throttling things up on his guitar while Phil bumps the volume on his bass and drops a couple of deep bombs. As Drums/Space collapses in on itself, a dynamic The Wheel rolls on until we’re back into Playin’.Īnd then, to cap things off, the Dead break out a killer Morning Dew. After a pause, we’re gifted an 18 minute Playin’ in the Band that picks up where Fire on the Mountain left off and takes things further out, as a good Playin’ should. Anchoring the whole affair is some seriously entertaining drumming. There are parts that are really mellow, almost hollow, and there are huge bursts of energy, especially from Jerry and Brent. This isn’t a typical Scarlet>Fire. It’s a 27 minute excursion through many iterations of this sequence. Check this out: Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain, Playin’ In The Band>Drums>Space>The Wheel>Playin’ In The Band>Morning Dew. You really can’t ask for anything more from a first set in this era. The first set is pure fire – nothing too jammy, but the boys are clearly feeling their oats from the very beginning and the setlist is full of great tunes. This show is a good example of an above-average 1983 Grateful Dead concert. I’m sorry that I didn’t finish this yesterday, but I still wanted to post it, so here it is.
