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

The Palace

Like 6/22/93 Deer Creek, this well-sung and -performed version is a nice capper to a strong evening.

The Palace

Vince teases Stagger Lee starting at 4:00 and continuing through Jerry's MIDI solo. A nice variation - has the band done this before?

I'm already a Bill fan, but this show features some of the best Kreutzman playing that I've heard. His snare drum fill at 2:36 pushes this version, and the rest of this show, to the next level.

"Oh boy, are you gonna like this one" - Bobby says, and he's not wrong! Excellent vocals from everyone throughout this typically great 1971 SBD.
Next Time You See Me
June 6, 1970
Fillmore West

Jerry's got the hot hands, and Pigpen relishes trading solos with him. A little faster than other versions.
Black Throated Wind

Fox Theatre

That band drop-out is weird... it occurs right after Bobby sings the St. Louis line, so maybe it was some hometown freaks invading the stage to show off? Anyway, props to Bobby for keeping the song on track.

Keith also propels this version along with Phil and Billy.
