Saw this show - Never a bad show at the Frost! Recall the Cassidy opener of the 1st set and a Baby blue at end of 2nd set. What a day!

Listened to archive.net couldn't find a SBD but this Charlie Miller FOB one is mighty fine. Grateful brother for you quality recording living on.

and I thought 10-10-82 was the best Frost....well well well, love being wrongst!

@Kdead-Spot on 1st Cassidy opener. As Johnny Carson would say "I did not know that"

First glance of setlist, Jerry is sick or Bobby wants to do an comprehensive C&W show and this here fan ain't got nothing bad to say about a varied setlist!!!

Cassidy-Brent early on with carnival organ sound with the rest of the boys mighty tight early on with many crescendos and spot on harmonies yet still short and sweet too.

"dude it's only the 1st song!"

Uncle-Jerry is highly active. Reminds me of early 70's versions pluckin along. Bobby forgets the lyrics midway between "you know my un...." boys roll on

Big River-kick ass plain and simple, listen to it often. Can hear lots of juicy Bobby rhythms

Althea-Jerry's axe is razor sharp from the getgo and his voice is that of a young man. This show just keeps gettin' better by the song

Rooster-"when the hounds begin to howl", thanks to the AUD can hear the crowd return their howl in unison to a wonderful slide guitar then Brent comes in mid song for Hammond delight!

Big RXR Blues-personal favorite. Jerry always knew how to read the crowd and keep the tempo just exactly perfect. This song just lets him fly fingers with reckless abandon only to return to the structure. Lest we foget Phil laying dbl thick pavement to this number as well. 6 solid minutes of knee slappin anytime of the day or night.

Let It Grow-A better demonstration of consummate musicianship I have never heard. Jerry and Phil were waiting for Bobby's lyrics to conclude to unleash themselves.
