The intro is longer than most. Bouncy uptempo version. Excellent jamming.

Always a good way to open the show.

I like the way they play this - it isn't direct and in your face. More exploratory than most.

Man, I love these '82 Sugar Mags. Tje energy, focus and execution. They are so damn lively - excellent fast tempo serves this song well.

Show opener. Jerry soars with thunder from Phil.

Childhood's End
Oct. 3, 1994
Boston Garden

There's a spot - as usual for this song - where Jerry's guitar work is off. Overall, this is better than some other versions I've listened to. Again, Vince does his best and sounds good.

Riverport Amphitheater

This is brutal. Jerry's guitar work pre-vocals and on the first instrumental break are way off and sound really sour. The harmonies often clash. Vince is playing better than anybody else.

Soldier Field

If you really like Phil's singing, I guess you'll like this. I think it's awful - a set killer.
A Voice From On High
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

Possibly the best out of the 4. If not, surely second best.

The Matrix

An improvement from the show on 7-11.
