He's Gone
sublime, sweet and yet powerful....

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Delicious pairing really a fantastic version hard to believe it is a set one they really kick this into high gear.
8
Johnny B. Goode
You like FAST? This one is MENTAL - with a slight reprieve during Brent's jam - then Jer torches everyone.
5
Brown Eyed Women
just a beautiful version. Extended Jerry solo. Listen LOUD!!
7
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Once this gets warmed up Phil's flipflop picking, Jer's firing up the neck, Bob's screamin' like a chick and Brent's hopping on his B3.
5
Let It Grow
Strong attack - this is a sneaky hi-qual crusher yikes.
5
The Other One
Nice trip Brent squeegies the band at 3:20 before he starts a pink floyd welcome to the machine riff? hahahah
5
Row Jimmy
The whole gang nails this.
3
Far From Me
More Brent Love - yes!
5
Candyman
JG sings this one so perfectly and then whips out the silver spacefinger lead.
5
Althea
2nd set placement - you bethca the rideout is strong.
4
Wharf Rat
Quietly sweeping with metallic disortion tones that Jer used later in the '80's for WF and Deals. I always liked it when he went a little metal.
3
Big River
1
Deal
From a hot, oft overlooked first set and show. Get up and dance!
1
Me and My Uncle
Jerry manages to fit even more extra notes in, despite this being a way uptempo cut. Maybe the most seamless trans into Big River.
1
Little Red Rooster
That dawg is howling, and by gawd tnat rooster be prowlin.
