I Need A Miracle
Dec. 28, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

The Hornsby era was awesome and here's a little gem from it. Bob sounds good, there's some solid drumming and when it's Jerry's turn to rock, he takes a page from the 1950's, but makes it a little gritty and funky. But from start to finish, Bruce shines on this one. He takes command toward the end as the song slides into SOTM. Good stuff!!
Brown Eyed Women

Boston Garden

The only problem is a few places with annoying feedback.
100000 Tons of Steel
March 27, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

Brent sounds good, but the drumming aside, the instrumental work comes of as really cheesy garbage made by some horrible pop band.

I remember the concrete shaking during this one. Very underrated from the Hornsby era, which rightly deserves much more attention.
When Push Comes to Shove

The Mecca

Jerry is struggling with the lyrics, but puts in a sweet guitar lick towards the end. The driving force on this version is Brent, who is much more involved than he was in earlier versions.
