I have a new respect for TJ lately because of Jerry's long solo at the end. It's always different, and this is a cool one.

Part of a great overall show at the Greek. I don't necessarily seek out SOF, but JG is on point on this one, both in his playing and vocals.

1981 is chock full of good Altheas, and this is one. A bunch of cool JG riffs - surprised this isn't listed. Solid show.

Really love early Brent era Stellas (‘79-82). Jerry is excellent throughout this show, and this Stella is no exception. Could be a tad longer though.

This entire show needs more love on here. Some cool Jerry guitar on this.

Gotta be top 5. Super tight.

Holy shit this thing is WAY too low indeed. This is without question top 5. I seriously think this might be my new favorite. This and 3.14.81 could be 1a and 1b.

JG rocks this. Fozzy Bear voice and all :) Speaking of that, I notice that his voice gets this Fozzy Bearish quality around Summer '84, then lasts through '86. '85 is peak Fozzy. Around Fall '84 is when he started gaining noticeable weight too, so I think there's a correlation. Great show though.
