Never Trust A Woman

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

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?

Omaha Civic Auditorium

After a harsh cut @ 7:50 excising the final "got up and wandered" verse, there's a very pleasant 2:50 outro jam. Stately and grand, indeed.

"And my best friend, my drummer, won't even tell me what it is I dropped" LOL

Hampton Coliseum

Brent's piano sounds great here, and of course an inspired Jerry carries everyone's troubles away
Space

Meadowlands Arena

the first minute or so is reminiscent of the first :45 of "Los Endos" by Genesis

Family Dog at the Great Highway

I love the spaceouts in the middle of these late '69 versions. 11/2/69 Family Dog is great overall, but the space in this version is longer and weirder :)
