Summary

This week we end the 'weekend at the beach' .. and the Days Between... with the second set from the band's performance at the Ventura County Fairgrounds on July 22, 1984.
The boys break out a rockin' Samson and Delilah in honor of the Sunday, then make a sharp turn into 'Ship of Fools'. Following that, Brent breaks out 'I Just Want to Make Love To You' for the first time the band has played it since 1966. The heart of this second set goes to the Terrapin>Drumz>Space>Morning Dew that follows.. strong and out there!
A nice Throwing Stones> Not Fade Away follows and the band treats the fans to a double encore of 'In the Midnight Hour' and 'Brokedown Palace'.
A nice way to end the Summer Tour of 1984.. I hope you agree.

County Fairgrounds in Ventura, California. July 22nd, 1984. This is quite an energetic

second set. It starts out since it's a Sunday show with Sampson and Delilah. Then things take

it starts a nice tear-up and station

0:48.2

into a great drums and space, into a fabulous morning dew.

0:51.8

That goes then into Throwing Stones, not fade away, a combination which

0:54.9

wasn't quite as to be expected back then as it came to be. But well played. They come back
