We return this week to the plains of Kansas for the second set of the band’s July 4, 1990 performance at Sandstone Amphitheater. The band comes back as the sun dips down and treats us to a couple of their newer songs, starting with ‘Victim or the Crime’. They lighten the mood with a fine ‘Foolish Heart’, which flows into one of my favorite Brent tunes, ‘Just a Little Light’. Knowing this was one of the last shows Brent ever played, I’m especially grateful to have seen him that final time.
A wonderful ‘Scarlet > Fire’ follows—perfect for this sizzling day—and Jerry is absolutely sizzling on it. ‘Drums’ and ‘Space’ come next and lead nicely into a heartfelt ‘Wheel’. Things ramp up with ‘Gimme Some Lovin’, again punctuated by great contributions from Brent. A soulful ‘Stella Blue’ follows, and the crowd falls completely silent, hanging on every verse. The band closes with ‘Sugar Mag’, then, appropriately, returns with a raucous ‘U.S. Blues’ encore.
