I was at this show, at Madison Square Garden on 3-10-81 ... they opened with Miss. Half Step, and right after the first verse, there was a tremendous reverb crash ... I was in the orchestra but couldn't see well enough to say what happened, but it sounds like his Twin heads just fell over. The band kind of stops ... then gets going again, he's sort of soloing over the whole next verse ... they fumble back into the tune, Jerry's distracted and forgetting the chords, but it's pretty clear that he's blown a speaker, possibly because of the reverb crashes, because during the A-D jam, you can hear it making this distorted crackling noise at certain frequencies, and he solos forever, fascinated with it, playing around with the high notes that makes it distort until Parish changes it out. Funny how it would interest him sonically like that, but very characteristic.
