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.

Nassau Coliseum

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.

Love both the '82 & '83 Red Rocks runs, and each includes a great Loser. 7.29.82 & 9.7.83. This is a heater - Jerry rocks the big solo. Check her out!

JG final solo is the goods.

Totally agree with rgrigga - great example of 80s Tiger magic from JG.

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.
