Folsom Field

Aces! Jer channels flatiron energy to cook the Boulder heads on a skillet with this scorcher. Brent's B3, Bobby slides it's all here.

Thumping Phil, driving Billy and Jer delivering the biting licks -middle jam is a bench clearer.

The CA Earthquake is just massive and only played twice I think - would nominate it in a heartbeat. Closed the 1st set and then they come out to party with a Hey Pocky. Watch Jerry tell a little story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkbm0uEU2w

The beat down starts at 3:10 and does not let up until the band pounds the audience into dust.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

RD's are locked down tight, Phil is strapped and Jerry's got an extra clip - they crush this one and then throw in a sweet AWBYGN cherry.. yes please. While not 71-72 this is premo for 80's.

Jerry singing Dylan - ain't nothin better...'cept maybe the Indy 500.
