Loose and loud - garage band city here! Tempo all over the road but nice and fast for the jam.

Big time bluesy show so Brent's train song fits into the night Jerry's vox is burnt but good energy this night.

Brent wakes everybody up with his B3 and then Jerr gets all sprightly on the jam - nice later one.

Jerry does some sweet bending and carving on this one - the band is in step on this one.

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

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.

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.
