Sick matrix of 6-23-74. Everyone knows this show for the Dark Star>Spanish Jam>US Blues and the only Let it Rock ever, but I've never found a better Black Throated Wind and the Jack Straw is downright incredible. Amazing vocals throughout and Bill is deep in the zone.

The Chicago Dec 79 shows were great.  I plan to listen to more of that tour in the near future, but in a belated attempt to honor my buddy's birthday and oh ya, a strong desire for a shakedown and stranger in the same show; I have entered the realm of 83.  4/15/83

Brown Eyed Women
Little Red Rooster

I liked the show.  I found the end throwing stones through johnny b goode to be a little routine, but I really enjoyed the show overall.  The Maybe you Know is a nice treat from 83, brent gives a little rap in rooster, shakedown opener, and stranger, samson 2nd set opener just to name some of the highlights.

I loved the story of Jack Straw thru Black Throated or even Big Railroad Blues.  Jack catches his buddy and confronts him.  His buddy begs for his life "don't murder me." We all know Jack doesn't spare his buddies life and now tired and broke, sets out towards home "by the light of interstate cars." He must confess after all he has done that she had clearly done better.  Eventually the cops catch up with him and he's singing those old railroad blues.  He did what he felt was right and he had to do, but maybe just maybe he should've listened.

Been trying to listen to some new material, but I find myself back at Hampton October 89 shows.  Good stuff.

That show was amazing.   The Warlocks-----cause GD was banned from Hampton from the previous couple years.  First show I ever got into---I think------old tour buddy says it was a Greensboro show, but this was the first show I remember!!!

 

I stil listen to it.   The Jude Fantasy is one if not my favorite.   Wish I knew then what I knew now, or rather appreciate what I was listening too!!
