Springfield, MA 3/24/85 Bertha -> Promised Land Althea Me & My Uncle -> Mexicali Blues Ramble On Rose Minglewood Blues -> Deal --- Samson & Delilah -> Cumberland Blues Man Smart/Woman Smarter -> He's Gone -> Spoonful -> Drums -> space -> Dear Mr. Fantasy -> Throwin' Stones -> Not Fade Away -> U.S. Blues The show was pretty short, and there were no long, exploratory jams, but it was basically pretty hot anyway. Jerry seemed into it, and his voice sounded good. Real good versions of just about everything, except that, as usual, "Deal" and "Throwin' Stones" were anticlimactic. After "Spoonful", Jerry stayed on with the drummer's for a while and kept playing "Truckin'" riffs. At the end of "Not Fade Away", the musicians left the stage, except for the drummers, who kept up the beat until the rest of the band came back on, and they went right into "U.S. Blues". A new twist! __ "We used to play for silver, now we play for life..." Seth Jackson
