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.

Ship of Fools

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

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.

Jerry’s playing is so good here. This might be the most underrated version of any song on HV.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Fast, clean, tight playing by JG. I usually steer clear of this show because Jerry's vocals throughout bother me for some reason - kinda too theatrical or something. The playing is excellent though.

This is so good I must comment again. 3:46-3:48 - this is the little riff I love the most.

Veterans Auditorium

Really cool version, and unique like others have mentioned. This needs to be bumped up the list. And what is up with Heady V not having Slewfoot or Green Green Grass of Home listed in the song catalog?

Fantastic closing solo by Jerry. One of my faves ever.
