Bertha
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Fantastic tight fast-moving gutbucket Bertha coming out of a spectacular top 20 (at least) Jack Straw.
Jack Straw

Nassau Coliseum

Outstanding nearly note perfect version, fully articulated, and Jerry does that incredible harmony chord stuff, descending turnaround stuff, gets that hard jammed, massively bent gutbucket sound. Jerry is on it from the get go. Nice delicate touch glissando. Better ensemble vox and good individual vox in the tradeoff verses. Brent kills it vocally and on the boards and Jerry has an interesting midi part. Bobby’s rhythm playing is strong especially in the home stretch after about 4:00
Shakedown Street

Barton Hall - Cornell University

2nd half better than the first half. Gets rockin' around the 9:00 mark. Overall, a little overrated.

solid set closer with wailin' B-3 Brent
Let It Grow
