The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Really high energy. Phil is a beast. Another 3 headed monster on the instrumental jam, featuring Jerry, Vince and Bruce. Hot rockin' stuff. Give it a listen!!

1991 was a great year that a lot of snobbish fans don't listen to. Well, it's their loss. Here is another jewel, where Jerry is on from the opening to the close. The final instrumental break features the three headed beast of Jerry, Vince and Bruce. Just when you think the song is dead, it comes back to life and roars one more round. Give it a listen!!

Really great version, rockin' MSG. Everybody's sounding good, but Bruce takes over and steals the show!

Not bad for 1995 - I know - that's not saying much. Again, Vince is really going at it.

.....but when things were falling apart, he was often there to save the band from themselves. Good job, Vince! Everybody goes all in for a really nice closeout.
