Both of Jerry's solos are completely savage.

Phil busting on lead bass guitar - exactly how you want to hear this song played.

The "on the road" sweaty dust of the west is oh so perfectly expressed on this take - '71 perfection.

3:30 of kickass 1950’s style of rock’n’rooooollllll.
Turn On Your Love Light

This one very much needs to be heard... JG throws a hail of lead at the crowd at one point during his endless solo.

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Jerry sounds possibly hammered and the whole bands going for it in a ragged glory manner. Don’t miss it - this show was apparently a party by all accounts.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

In a brokedown palace in a brokedown city that was hot as fuck...this whole rendition is KILLER but everything locks into place for me at 6:35 when the band starts getting super juicy while Jerry goes junkyard dog until the 9:10 mark. then JG re-engages with the nasty at around 11:10 to pummel the heads one more time.... so good so good. The last late great show I saw on the East coast before I headed to Cali. Well worth checking out the Crimson White & Indigo video to see how much fun Jerry in particular was having at this show. PS. Major flashback and memory after reading an archive review how the band mic'd the crowd and played back the recordings during intermission - wow- wow- wow wow what a fucking memory for this dosed kid back in the day I remember when we caught on to it....:) it was a later day acid test in the rubble.
