Valerie Needs a Bath, ’cause she is GRUNGY: JGB at Keystone Palo Alto, February 26, 1983
I have a stack of listening notes that don’t really say much, but I do like to post them just to keep track. 2/26/83: nice tape, good performance, nothing that absolutely slays me, except that “Valerie” absolutely KILLED in this period. I know the esteemed David Minches favors the 3/5/83 version, which I have revisited…

LN jg1974-11-27.jgms.106mins.sbd-GEMS.91343.flac1644 Just a few quick notes. 1) Paul Humphrey drumming. The drummer is fast and great.
