Feel Like A Stranger

Hampton Coliseum

Holy Blazers (I changed that word from something worse) Jerry's solo in this version is crazy freaking hot. Just tearing IT UP!

You know things are about to go down if Jer is fanning coming out of the first verse already. The band just explodes out of the first set absolutely possessed.

Whew is right. And man o' man is the first chord of this version just ever so right on. Isolate it with headphones sometime. Talk about everyone being dialed in. Jer wasnt ready for the lyrics but he was ready rock. The boys then blister through the jam and it is super tight. Love it!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Marin County Civic Center

Amazing transition. The patience is just awesome. Something truly amazing happens as Scarlet becomes Fire, it is one of those musical Wow moments. Also, watch out for Brent in the driver's seat during the transition.

Brent has a carnival sound to the keys and it is a perfect fit. Its the greatest show on earth sound.
