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.

Not Fade Away

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?

Days Between

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

All five musicians provide outstanding dynamic accompaniment for Jerry's stirring, elegiac vocal and guitar solo. Guaranteed to get you right in the feels.
Eyes Of The World

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is a dead ringer for the intro of this version (or vice versa).
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 29, 1993
Boston Garden

The Lightning Bolt guitar was well suited for this ballad, and Jerry dances elegantly through the chord changes here, both in the solo and the outro. Too bad Bob has some sort of seizure during the last chorus around 4:20.
Might As Well

Warfield Theatre

loose and playful
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

Jerry's feedback whistle at around 6:15, bringing this freight train into the station. Outstanding performance.
