Terrapin Station

Extract from email from Todd Corey about the sub-division of the Terrapin Station suite: Song | Start | End | Characterized by... | |-------------------|------:|------:|---------------------| | Lady with a Fan | 0:00 | 4:10 | Starts with “Let my inspiration flow...” | | Terrapin Station | 4:10 | 6:35 | Starts with “Since the end is never told...” | | Terrapin | 6:35 | 8:43 | Main instrumental theme | | Terrapin Transit | 8:43 | 9:20 | Glass tinkling, strings, ends with 2 gongs | | At a Siding | 9:20 | 11:05 | Starts with loud gong, includes “While you were gone...” | | Terrapin Flyer | 11:05 | 13:59 | Fast passage, steel drums, violins, horns, fast guitar | | Refrain | 13:59 | 16:18 | Reprise of Terrapin theme with vocal chorus > "...Terrapin is the main theme, Terrapin Transit is the spacey transition (makes sense), and At a Siding includes both the instrumental part (which is the music for L'Alhambra, thought to be Terrapin Transit) and the lyrical part. Terrapin Station does not include the main instrumental portion that follows. > > This is consistent with the timings given for the individual tracks in Ihor Slabicky's Complete Grateful Dead Discography. Ihor also refers to a "Specially Banded For Airplay" version with the "Terrapin" side pressed with bands separating the songs." Excerpt from [whitegum](https://www.whitegum.com/~acsa/toddcore.htm).
