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.

Dane County Coliseum

1981 is chock full of good Altheas, and this is one. A bunch of cool JG riffs - surprised this isn't listed. Solid show.

Stella Blue

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.

Loser

Red Rocks Amphitheater

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!

Come on people. How this is not in the Top 10 is beyond me.

Underrated for sure. There are parts of the 1st half of this where Jerry sounds as good as I've ever heard him.

Concertgebouw

So many good ones to choose from, but this is free form psychedelia at its finest. Gotta be top 10.
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Shrine Auditorium

10/12/68 has always been my favorite DDHNM, but this HAS to be #2. Jerry's guitar is simply on fire.

76 is an interesting year. I'm the the hugest fan overall, but it has little pockets of greatness. This is one of those.
