Some of the more negative comments posted by people who had watched individual songs out of context on YouTube point to a difference between actually going to a concert and watching selected clips if you weren't there. Video often fails to capture the atmosphere. Courtesy of Peter C., I've managed to relive on video many concerts from years ago. Some of them (eg Dartford in 1985) more than confirm my memories of amazing shows whilst others removed from the excitement of being in the audience are not quite as I remembered. The Palladium show was in my opinion quite special because as I watched and cheered, I was also thinking this was almost certainly my last show of Jerry's. As someone said, you can experience the download but you can't download the experience! atmosphere has ALWAYS been a crucial part of Jerry's concerts and the Palladium had it by the bucket load. A great gig and great memories.
