An awesome show opener. Jerry's vocals are great here and the energy is good. The funk live and well. Clean solo's from Jerry with the 80's tempo. Impressed on this one. Awesome set list

The whole band is really engaged and everyone has some moments. Brent is really strong early on this one and his organ solo towards the end has some strong soar to it. All the boys energy remains high and pretty tight. Serious steam on this one for sure! Great listen!
Not Fade Away
July 4, 1989
Rich Stadium

The duel between Jerry and Brent... Deserves to rocket to this top 3. One of the greatest moments in GD history. The fact we have video of it too is incredibly lucky. Grateful. I'm shocked this is so low. Stunned. Duel apart, this not fade away is strong from beginning to end, no flubs, high energy, good tempo and good solo. Then the duel. genuinely asking, what are some better 80/90s NFA's? - I even would say this competes/hangs with some of the NFA 70's,subjectively speaking.. Normally not as intrigued on low rankings, but this one surprised me big time. Amazing song, and this performance is a must listen AND must watch! <3

The solo is ALIVE. There is some real magic and exploring going on here. High energy and up tempo, but delivered with sincere purpose. Some real magic with great execution on this solo. Jerry is all over it and the whole band really has their moments. Awesome listen.
