It won't make you a Candyman fan, but if you dig that already, you will like this.

Phil and Vince lead the way. The rest of the band sounds like they took the day off.

Pig sounding great on a shortie. Jerry playing some sharp guitar. Great version.

Short one, only 4:37, but what's there is crisp and well-played.

Samba In The Rain
Oct. 18, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Admit it - there have been worse songs from Brent and Phil.

This song can be really awesome. At times Jerry soars and shreds. All along Bruce keeps up his dominant role, with his keys rocking and sparkling.
Hell in a Bucket
Sept. 21, 1991
Boston Garden

Towards the instrumental break, Jerry and Bruce are slugging it out. Good stuff. Bruce pushes things at the end for a powerful conclusion.

Sweet uptempo rocker, with some hot Bobby vocals and some Jerry fanning the mid-song instrumental.

This is really entertaining. You can't find a version from 1977 with better vocals, more diverse sounds or styles. 1991 had some truly great versions.
