Jerry’s guitar scorches to a nice crescendo. Moving.

Oddly out there, ending a great trilogy of Half Step-Franklin's.

The MLB definitely adds to a downright melodic MNS! Worth a vote!

Jerry’s sense of urgency is palpable!
Standing On The Moon
Sept. 26, 1993
Boston Garden

Ridiculously unreal. Jerry was basically already dying by this point, so ragged, but he could still rip our hearts out, not just with his guitar, but with that voice...Mother McCree... these Standing on the Moons could be so gut-wrenching. This one is particularly powerful and gorgeous and scorching. To see Jerry up there creating such music... Rather be with you!!!! Yes indeed!!!

Thoroughly rocks!! Tend to lean toward 68-70 Stephens thundering into The Eleven across the William Tell Bridge… but there ain’t nothing wrong with 76-77 Stephens….. rocking in and of those NFA Gardens…..
