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!"

He's Gone
Dec. 9, 1990
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

Liberty

The Palace

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

Man Smart, Woman Smarter

The Palace

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

Next Time You See Me
June 6, 1970
Fillmore West

Jerry's got the hot hands, and Pigpen relishes trading solos with him. A little faster than other versions.
Black Throated Wind
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre

That band drop-out is weird... it occurs right after Bobby sings the St. Louis line, so maybe it was some hometown freaks invading the stage to show off? Anyway, props to Bobby for keeping the song on track.
One More Saturday Night
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

Keith also propels this version along with Phil and Billy.
Friend of the Devil
June 20, 1980
West High Auditorium

Very nice solo by Brent, and then Jerry completes the solo break in masterful fashion. Something about the Summer Solstice at the Arctic Circle must have suited an ol' grizzly like Jerome ;)
Little Red Rooster
April 22, 1986
Berkeley Community Theatre

NSFW - Brent's definitely got a bad case of the blues here, but it pays off with some heartfelt vocals and B-3 playing.
