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!

Civic Arena

This is dope. A little rough around the edges, but super cool sounding. The 4/12 Other One > Wharf Rat is probably my favorite part of the new Dave's (V51).

The only GD show played in my birthplace happens to be one of my favorite shows ever.

Absolutely excellent. Time for a Greek box set!

*Edit to my original post* There is a big/annoying tape cut right after Jerry’s big solo. And he didn’t extend said solo as long in 72 as he did in 77 and beyond. I’m not a fan of 73 & 74 Losers. Weird bc everything else those 2 years is fire. All of that said - this deserves to be on here.
