JGB in Phishland: Flynn Theater, Burlington, VT, 12/6/83

Note that I have started changing all of my info to reflect the presence of DeeDee Dickerson on the bus with the JGB in November-December 1983.

12/6/83a

Nice Catfish John, otherwise this early show does not light me up.

JGMF:

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; ... = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [ ] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the "real" time of the event. So, a timing of [x:xx] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

It has traditionally been thought that JGB #21a had a very short run, and that Gloria entered ca. 9/30/83. But the paperwork for the late '83 JGB tour is very clear that DDD is on the bus.

! R: nice tape. Some very metallic PA feedback early on

! P: d-t02 CJ great CJ! Pretty good scrubbing 11:25 or so, good guitar again 11:52.

! R: e-t03 Someday Baby clips in

! P: e-t03 SB yikes, he can't hit the high notes at all, it's cringe-inducing. Puts some nice guitar effect on 7:25.

! R: e-t04 RFTR clips in

! e-t07 (1) JG: "Thanks a lot. See ya later."

! P: early show overall doesn't really move me, despite a nice CJ.

! R: l-t01 starts off with some start-of-tape swishing, sounds like a nice pull.

! P: l-t01 Sugaree is characteristically strong for the period. I am really liking the figures he is weaving late 8 over 9, crowd liking it too at 9:15, suggesting fanning 9:25, crowd excited, this is really good guitar, natch.
