Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Controlled distortion is an art that Jer can paint with. Brent lends the waterglass accents here and there all good.

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

JG upfront in the mix and rips your bluesy face off. Cowbells, bangin' keys and DJ caterwauling - it's all here.

Ragged in that good ol' GD way of well shit let's take a shot at this one... sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Doobie Brent showin' up with Bobby's shroomed out rhythm stylings and Jerry almost pulling the lyrics off makes me smile but then these were "my years" so I'm partial. I had this tape a week later and loved it - so much so I went to the Syracuse show the next year.

After smashing one of the BEST Throwin' Stones you've never heard.
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
April 7, 1988
The Centrum

Still love this version with Bobby channeling Dylan’s vocal delivery and then becoming more and more unhinged as the band blasts away. Go Bobby Go!
