Hampton gets all the attention, but the true connoisseur* knows that the Shoreline shows are just as good, if not better, or maybe worse. Depends on your opinion, I suppose.
BUT there’s a killer Death Don’t Have No Mercy, a rare standalone Franklin’s, and a lovely Bird Song. We Can Run is also performed.
PLUS a Mighty Quinn encore. Quinn, braj. Love the Quinn. Everybody’s gonna wanna dose, braj.
9/29/89 from Shoreline. Listen to it.
*Spelled it right the first time. I know there’s no way to prove that to you, but I swear it happened.
Girlfriend scored me a ticket for this one. Then she ran off with a better looking dude.
In retrospect, I think she was offering a sort of severance pay.
My perfect show.
Jerry’s guitar solo on the 9/29/89 Death Don’t Have No Mercy just blew me away. We put the song on the boxed set SO MANY ROADS (1965-1995)
