Nobody's Fault But Mine

The Spectrum

Rare, rootsy and spare reading. The one in '79 when Jer's mic blew had more torque.

The Other One
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

What is it about Hartford and this reference? Jerry plays Bach’s Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring in Space on 10/15/84 as well. Played it again later this same month in Berkeley.

No brainer! Take a listen and vote your conciousness….

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Up tempo wonderful Eyes that has everything great about ‘78 inside, GRobbers right about the janky strumming but I absolutely love whenever Jerry does this throughout the years and love this little interlude too, also I think that’s Donna with a perfectly placed Wheew! On the last verse. Bobby, Phil, Billy, Mick all laying the foundation for Jerry to soar. So worth a listen!
Not Fade Away

Merramec Community College

JG back on the SG never fails. 70-71 NFAs blaze the hottest and are my personal taste. Dangerous garage band jammin’ imo - still don’t understand how 4/28/71 is not in the top 10.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 18, 1978
Civic Arena

Criminally low for another killer ‘78 spin on this classic.
