I'm saddened yet grateful to say, I was at Brent's last show, in Chicago. On a brighter note, I loved the shows with Brent AND Bruce Hornsby. Two great drummers. Two great keyboardists. One 9.5 fingered guitar God.

I agree, but as bad it is to miss Brent - I really love when Bruce Hornsby would play with the band, and Vince’s vocals were amazing. As great as Brent was, those two guys did pretty well to fill in. Jerry had started to burn out before Brent left too, guy lived hard.

I never thought about that, interesting. He sure wasn't bothered when Keith Godchaux died. But I think he disliked Donna more than Keith. Is the story about Jerry unplugging Keith mid show true?

@@richardhausig9493 I never heard tha5, but maybe. Jerry daid Keith was playing whack towards the end. Like dude wasn't trying at all. Brent got them their first top 10 radio hit. And they just released without a net and had a tour set up... so it was drama and probably really hurtful and anxiety type stuff.

By the way, if you may have not, check out their song Easy Answers, in the 90's, if it has not been brought to your attention yet.

@@thornil2231 I agree. The late, great Bill Graham uttered those words in the early morning hours of 1/1/1979 after the epic closing of Winterland show. Since he practically invented the rock concert, I figure he's a pretty good authority. Also I firmly believe that rock and roll is Americana--that and jazz are our truly original contributions to world music.

I never heard Jack Straw like this before; Hart beats the tar out of his drums entering the solo and somehow is clearly heard over Bill(I know, right?), Phil punches the bottom and keeps the power going up, by the time Bobby belts out Jack Straw from Wichita the force coming off that stage is unstoppable, Jerry looks like hes just riding it and holding on with Bobby driving it to 11, and its maybe just a few riffs here and there but holy cow this is by far my favorite JS! When Bobby sings the outro you can see his satisfaction for leading this one so well. I'm saving up for the box set this is from.

So good. Archetypical 'opening song' - the first steps in figuring out the particular terrain & contours of that show's potential. Taking the pulse so to speak, of the audience's reception, the band's mood, and the musical synchrony - default/inherent & reached-for. Comes together nicely :) Of course, we've all heard openers that were more... poignant, or over-the-top or chaotic... this one is a kind of right-down-the middle one, doing a fine job of beginning to map out the landscape to come.

Can't for the life of me remember what Jerry played that night other than it was a good set. Brent added so much to the band and elevated them to an even higher place as a band that was almost as good as the Pig Pen days.
