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.

The Spectrum

Beautiful delivery of this 3 headed monster. Deserves listens and consideration - multiple jam filled interludes. The Spectrum was rockin'.Whole show rips with energy and I also feel this Shakedown is a hidden gem that is better than the oft cited '82 from this venue. Check the whole gig out!

Jer breaks out the rusty banjo and cranks the living shit out of it - legit is right.
Dark Star
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Inspired playing in mind meld mode - the Feeling Groovy jam sends this over the top and gets triumphant my, my it's been 20 years since I've heard this. WOW - is right.
