Shoreline Amphitheatre

Explosive show opener. Wire to wire intensity, energy and execution. A must-hear for Bucket fans.

Oh, the truth to you I'll tell - this kicks butt.

Hot vocals. Bruce crazy good. Jerry & Vince sound good on their solos. Awesome version.

A great song they should have played more. Solid version. Hornsby is all over it.

Phil's vocals here are as good as it gets for this tune.

Both of the instrumental breaks are really good. The first by Brent, then Jerry. Towards the end of Jerry's solo, Phil comes bouncing along, lifting things to a wonderful conclusion.

.....this is scary. The vocals are terrible and Jerry's guitar work is mediocre at best. This was a bad idea.

This version is pretty much standard fare for 1992, but the highlight of the song is Vince taking the lead for the first instrumental break. He's putting out a rockin' rollickin' good time with those keys!
We Can Run

Sullivan Stadium

The band just opened the show with Playin -> Crazy Fingers -> Wang Dang Doodle and then here comes Brent with this depressing lecture of a song to bum everybody out. Do we really need this - seriously?

The soundboard has the typical first song issues for this time period. At least you can hear Jerry's guitar work during the instrumental jams and the second one is different and enjoyable.
