There will be no more songs...only Jam.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

No skid on this ride. Seamless and sync'd, a (rare) flawless vocal from Jerry, and who else but Brent to take us to space.

Nassau Coliseum

Typical sloppy '80 Jed, until Jerry starts inventing scales. It's like he finds a wormhole to a parralel notational grid.

Greensboro Coliseum

How dare Jerry defile the dissociative sanctity of the Wharf with such a filthy rip

Single AUD source roughly patched and INC, but sure glad they caught Jer's solo here. Awesome show and it doesn't sound too bad considering..

Really locked this one in as a contender for 'definitive' towards the end.

Jerry fumbles the final line, going for "That path is yours" instead of "If I knew the way". Good chuckles were had on stage, and the crowd responds kindly with huge applause and powerful claps to keep the beat strong.

This one sounds pretty wild.

Bobby's vox throughout this Warfield run have been on point. I think the quieter, smaller theater has him keeping the howling down.
