Aiko Aiko
Smokin' version.
8
Sugaree
Just pulled out this show randomly and this sugaree is moving into my top 4 to 5. Everything you could ask for and more
8
Uncle John's Band
The band sounds worn and fried vocally on the SBD but oddly makes it more compelling 17mins(!) - the jamming is on point.
3
Good Lovin'
Jer screamin Dr!! Brent just deliverin' a clinic on the B3, strong 80's medicine right here.
2
Jack Straw
Crushing in that very dark ‘84 style
3
Spanish Jam
Atmospheric - Spaniards In Space
2
Black Peter
Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
2
Dupree's Diamond Blues
A Stunner of a Dupree's Diamond Blues from a great 84 show ...
1
Cassidy
this is a golden stretch in terms of style and form for GD. Deep and thickly bright sprinting jam
1
Might As Well
tight bucket yields this hoarse , ever so blue hot, blistering version!! Heavy late night express jerry soul rocker, big man sends it, gnarly version.
1
Truckin'
Excellent generously stately and tumultuous intro. Laid back. Nice melt to black peter.
1
Space
Space into the only performance of Brent’s “Only a Fool”
