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

One More Saturday Night

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.

Morning Dew

Capital Centre

nice one - I like his tone on this over the '94 (while that is a powerful jam). I can't handle that later sound of lighting bolt (?) like he's playing with nylon strings.

Jerry was on fire for this and the Terrapin. His attack on the first jam is CRAZY and then he chills out for the build up on the 2nd jam - his tone and pacing are perfect to me on this one.... the slow building, explorative work by Phil and Jer's staccato play along with Bobby's rhythm work - they hit many tasty grooves on this before the CAR CRASH ending.
