Foolish Heart
Dec. 28, 1990
Coliseum Arena
I was there and it was astounding! It’s been astounding for 30 years. Listen to the audience roar through the SBD mix as Jerry is peaking in the final jam, realizing what they had just witnessed. We were speechless. There is no actual jam on this list that matches it… Not even close. I’ll give you that Phil is an absolute monster on 3-19-1990, but this is the most developed and well played out version of all time… Just listen to Hornsby playing his “Rambling Man” riffs… So beautiful and so in sync…brings me to tears 30 years later. It’s amazing how little love the Hornsby Era gets on Heady… He offered so much, and literally rescued the band from the tragic loss of Brent, when they were absolutely at their peak… I think he did some of the most heady versions of songs … Check out Deal 5-19-91, China > Rider 9-20-90, Throwing Stones 10-27-90, or any Jackstraw they played! Especially 12-27-90 the opener the night before this show! Peace.
