Before they start playing, Bob tells the crowd about how there was a train wreck near here and the engineer died, but his memory lives.

The Palace

Vince is sounding good and Jerry shows that even close to the end, he can keep it together for a song here and there.
Samba In The Rain

Riverport Amphitheatre

Vince is confused as to when to start singing, which I guess you could argue makes him one of the boys. Jerry sounds like he cares and this is an overall solid version.

Fillmore West

My God - how can this be buried where it is with the only vote for it the one that listed it? You people should be ashamed of yourselves. You deserve to be taken out around back and have the snot kicked out of you.

Cal Expo

Strong vocals and a very strong performance by Jerry playing guitar, before he turned most of his work into midi trumpet for this song.
