Never Trust A Woman

The Spectrum

I'm just glad I never broke Brent's heart. Anyway, great vocals, solos, and overall performance on this excellent Healy matrix. "Ah, what the hell!"

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Very fine post-Brent-era version with Bruce helping out on piano. The closing jam sounds like a segue into TOO, but leads into D/S.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Sandwiches Lovelight, but funky jamming in the outro. Bop bop

The Palace

Like 6/22/93 Deer Creek, this well-sung and -performed version is a nice capper to a strong evening.

Vince teases Stagger Lee starting at 4:00 and continuing through Jerry's MIDI solo. A nice variation - has the band done this before?

Disco was already dead, but you wouldn't know by listening to this version - very danceable.

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Hornsby and Jerry start playing the chug-a-lug Around and Around rhythm after the "Pearly's been true" verse at 6:15, leading into a rocking 2 1/2 minute jam.
Drums

Giants Stadium

"May This Be Love" - Mickey is having some fun with a sample of Hendrix's guitar intro from 2:45-4:30. Then the Neville Bros join at around 7:00 for some excellent percussion jamming. Exceptional Drums!
Samson and Delilah

Ventura County Fairgrounds

The way Jerry holds onto his note on "dooooowwnnn" longer than Bobby and Brent. Inspired guitar soloing as well, an exceptional version that should have more votes.

accidentally posted a comment here that should've been for Samson and Delilah. I can tell the difference between Bobby songs, honest! ;-)
