The Music Never Stopped

The Palace

Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Roanoke Civic Center

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

Very solid version. Video shows Jerry present and very into it.

Hampton Coliseum

A little messy in the outro but VERY hot. Jerry delivers the vocals with beauty and passion and his playing is top notch. Hard to find a bad 84 show.

Madison Square Garden

Always liked this one. Fantastic tone and well played by all. Nice transition into what is IMO the best 90s GSET.

Deer Creek Music Center

Such a classic. Bruce taking vocals is awesome and him and Jerry work together to rip up the end solo. Summer 91 was so hot!!

Honesty never thought Jerry sounded too bad singing this one. Awesome solos and nice to have a good color video from 78.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Wish i could upvote this on the strength of the fire alone. Scarlet is definitely a throwaway but Jerry pulls all sorts of tricks out of his bag (not to mention a REALLY strong, far better than 10/14/94, first solo where he just jams hard with no special effects). Hot stuff, this whole Seattle run is great.
