Queen Jane Approximately

Giants Stadium

Spank this one with BD - follows a Wicked Messenger (not LOA flavor) but still hot to see.

Sharp and clear as a bell.

Stagger Lee
May 22, 1993
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Super late era Stagger Lee - Jer's totally on and band is in tempo - Vince jams on the windchimes at the end which is weird but otherwise tight jam.

Jer all over the distortion bends & tonal action to find the range of torqueness needed for a damn fine Loser.

JG carves long lines on the 1st solo then he and Weir tee off completely on the 2nd - electric bamboo.

Not Fade Away
Dec. 9, 1971
Fox Theatre

Sad to see this had only 1 vote - I hope it gets heard and then given its due.. rollicking is the right descriptor...'71 NFA's had some special sauce. The GDTRFB is sweet justice as well - they hit overdrive smoothly NFA reprise is nice strong gut punch too +1 and more if I could... quality '71 action here.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Sweet Lincoln's mullet! Looks like I already bumped this sometime I dunno when before - required listening here.
Sugar Magnolia
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

I feel like the jam in Sugar Mags is one of their purest rock and roll song expressions - sure they played it a million times but when it was on - it was ON - no matter the era when Jer decided to flip the boogie switch and Bobby was screaming his shorts off - GAME OVER - just listened to Dallas 11/24/72 and that's a MOFO ... just a different styled one than this but both gotz the same roots. I love it when Jer soars over that Sugar Mags engine.....
