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

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?

What's up with Jerry's shout at 9:08? Did he drop something on his foot? Or did he just drop something? ;-)
And We Bid You Goodnight

Donna's last show before her maternity leave from tour, making this lullaby especially appropriate and poignant.

I believe this is Donna's last show before going on maternity leave. It's cool to imagine Donna "singing for two"
El Paso

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

I'm already a Bill fan, but this show features some of the best Kreutzman playing that I've heard. His snare drum fill at 2:36 pushes this version, and the rest of this show, to the next level.

"Oh boy, are you gonna like this one" - Bobby says, and he's not wrong! Excellent vocals from everyone throughout this typically great 1971 SBD.
