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

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?

Turn On Your Love Light

Family Dog at the Great Highway

Jerry's cadenza at 29:13-29:35 is the perfect arrival after this long, heavy version.

Zeppelin never jammed with the Dead; as the story goes, the GD crashed a Zep photo shoot and Pigpen spooked the English band by showing off his pistol. Too bad - Pigpen's harmonica and the nasty blues groove sounds similar to LZ's takes on You Shook Me and Bring It On Home.
Stella Blue
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Heavy, brute accompaniment on the "blue-light cheap motel" bridge, contrasting with the delicacy of the rest of the performance.

Bill is getting teased by some impatient guitarists prior to the count-in ;-)
The Music Never Stopped

Frost Amphitheatre

Given a good thrashing by the whole band.
