Blistering encore. One of the fastest and hottest I've ever heard. I think I just wet my pants!!!

These early versions, Jerry has some problems remembering when to sing the right lyrics.

A good example of how the shorter Pigpen tunes can still be really good.

Childhood's End
Oct. 3, 1994
Boston Garden

There's a spot - as usual for this song - where Jerry's guitar work is off. Overall, this is better than some other versions I've listened to. Again, Vince does his best and sounds good.

This is brutal. Jerry's guitar work pre-vocals and on the first instrumental break are way off and sound really sour. The harmonies often clash. Vince is playing better than anybody else.

Soldier Field

If you really like Phil's singing, I guess you'll like this. I think it's awful - a set killer.
A Voice From On High

Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

Possibly the best out of the 4. If not, surely second best.

An improvement from the show on 7-11.
