Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

Brent contributes a lot to this brief, beautiful, disturbing Space.

It's hard to say exactly why this version of this tune that no one thinks about too much is heady, but it really, really is

Jerry does everything he possibly can at the moment in this tune

It's a good bet something interesting will happen when Jerry fucks up the first line of a song. The rest of the singing is deep and intense. Brilliant solos too.

The Spectrum

Weird how Jerry pushes the tempo and plays power chords when he's frustrated. Fortunately Phil and the drummers keep up with him and there are so nasty-ass power chords and riffs here. Worth a listen.

Burning, desperate solo. Love it when Jerry plays with rage like this. Probably because Bob really effed him when they went into Miracle at the end of Stella Blue.
The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 23, 1980
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Phil blows my mind with what he plays at the very beginning of the jam. Lots of peaks and Alpine Valleys in the jam itself.
