Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Controlled distortion is an art that Jer can paint with. Brent lends the waterglass accents here and there all good.

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

JG upfront in the mix and rips your bluesy face off. Cowbells, bangin' keys and DJ caterwauling - it's all here.

Love this one - delivers the midwest dust blown endless mile vibe perfectly to the frenchies. This is one of my favorite shows from that tour - professional.

Up - gateway drug.
Bird Song

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Transcendent - was the word my friend used when I played this on my show today. There are great versions throughout the years but if you are a fan of this song check this out I'd like to know what you think. I got turned on in early 80's so this sound really speaks to me even though I love something about every year up until '90. When I spun this again I was blown away and feel this one's well worth a check out... as usual recommend you turn it waaay up to give it it's due. I think he chose the right word.
