Wharf Rat
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

crux of a perfect show with 'beautiful jam' overtones, thunderous cathartic waves of inertia!
China Doll
Feb. 19, 1973
International Amphitheatre

crystalline gossamer magic. Heartbreaking, tender version.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

Fantastic version. Makes you wonder how quickly Vince could have developed his own voice which he eventually did by somewhere in 93-94, if he didn't have to jockey with Bruce. Oceanic, meditative, tight, playful, kind version.

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

another fantastic version - Lightning Bolt working that crispy trebly tone, phil/devils off the leash.
