Ship of Fools

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Part of a great overall show at the Greek. I don't necessarily seek out SOF, but JG is on point on this one, both in his playing and vocals.

1981 is chock full of good Altheas, and this is one. A bunch of cool JG riffs - surprised this isn't listed. Solid show.

Really love early Brent era Stellas (‘79-82). Jerry is excellent throughout this show, and this Stella is no exception. Could be a tad longer though.

This entire show needs more love on here. Some cool Jerry guitar on this.

Love both the '82 & '83 Red Rocks runs, and each includes a great Loser. 7.29.82 & 9.7.83. This is a heater - Jerry rocks the big solo. Check her out!

Definitely the highlight of this show. LOVE ‘79 Shakedowns.

Ever notice the first few chords of this sound exactly like the beginning of Loser? Sounds like they are about to play it then abruptly veer into BP. Loser tease?

Absolutely wish it was played more. This is one of my fave tunes from this show.

Agree with all of the comments here. This is without a doubt a top shelf version. Flawless.

I haven’t listened to this show in a long time. It’s obviously a very famous show and one of my first bootleg tapes as a youngster, so I put it on the back burner for many years as I explored a lot of different material. Today I revisited this classic, and holy shit. As a big TJ guy, this is right at the top for me. Fantastic Jerry action from start to finish, but the closing solo (my fave part of all Jeds) is fucking smoking. A+. I’m gonna get this Dave’s (Vol. 29) tomorrow.
