Very high energy Desolation Row. Bobby might have hurt himself on this one.

Real nice Bobby giving 100% despite a slight throat issue that plaques him much of 1993, Jerry rips his solo. Real Nice performance. Vince is on too

A standout version from a great show.

Sweet vocals, as seems common for this tune
