LN jg1992-07-26.jgb.all.aud-vasseur.141462.flac1644 Brief listening notes. Vasseur Warfield tapes are incredible. Vasseur Shoreline tapes are … incredible. So much air in this mics. Wow.

Half Century Jerry: JGB in Irvine, August 1, 1992
In looking at the date index for the blog, I noticed I hadn’t engaged a 1992 show, and the only tag for the year wasn’t really focused on it. I confess that I have a strong prior that 1992 sucks. I have spun pieces of shows a time or two, and even whole ones, including…
