Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

Giants Stadium

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

Check out the beautiful remaster on the Long Strange Trip soundtrack!

I was there. A beautiful, hot SoCal afternoon on a soccer field...so many firsts for me at this show. H>S>F was a little rough, but still satisfied...

I had forgotten how hard Jerry goes off at the end of this one, and I was there!
Ship of Fools

This one is sweet. Jerry doesn't nail all the lyrics perfectly, but he was able to put this song over emotionally so much better by this point. Really nice solo, too. Everybody's on board.
China Doll

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

This one is beautiful. Perfect tempo, extraordinary bridge/solo, tight harmonies...a debut that just nails it.
