Just received this CDR in a trade..."Yeah man...Jerry Band on a big boat in the bay from '87, you'd dig it"....and while I had my doubts about this, after a listen I can confirm that it certainly sounds like 87 era JGB and after checking thejerrysite.com (bless them, nice people) I can also confirm that this is the show from March 6, 1987. I took a look at the bt.etree show listings and this did NOT seem to be listed anywhere this newbie could find it....so I'm going ahead an up'ing it here for further review......
Anyone got ANY ideas how JGB ended up doing a set on the USS Carl Vinson on a Friday in March 1987? Love to hear the tale.....
Sound quality is listenable, though spotty at times. Certainly worth the download, especially if you consider yourself a boat buff.....
(includes a nice JPEG of the USS Carl Vinson in the Bay!)
too bad we haven't converted more aircraft carriers to floating concert venues......
