Jerry's creaky and weathered voice make this offering from my first show one of my emotional faves.

One half of my favorite GDTRFB > NFA duo ever. What a killer groove they found here!

Jerry absolutely destroys this one. God what a show!
Touch of Grey

The Omni

This is the best Touch > Greatest ever played bar none. This is and always will be my go to version.
Cumberland Blues
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

This whole middle chunk of Set 1 is Hyperspeed Jerry at its absolute best. Jer absolutely tears up the end jam.
Eyes Of The World

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

This Eyes is hands down a Top 5 of the '90s. In my personal Top 5 all time actually. Just flawless and absolutely epic in every way.
