Check out Jerry's second solo

Brown Eyed Women

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

Charlotte Coliseum

Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

Hartford Civic Center

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

Touch of Grey
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Oddly engrossing version of this difficult song, driven by Mickey and Brent.
Jack Straw

Cal Expo

Phil is on a mission here (check out the Bertha too). Right before his statement that contrary to rumor, he is not quitting the band.
Promised Land
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

First song after Branford first sat in, on "Bird Song," and you can tell Jerry is elated. Crushing version. Drummers were on their best behavior throughout this show as a musician was sitting in.
Stella Blue
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Exceptional solo and outro from Jerry; great vocals typical of his high emotion era
Throwing Stones
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Dig the Foolish Heart jam on this one. You heard me right
