A very strange opening - it sounds like Jerry doesn't want to play it.

I Need A Miracle
Sept. 7, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheater

Not the best recordings out there, but hey - those are the breaks sometimes.
I Need A Miracle
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

A spacey intro snaps together for a crisp start. A long version for 1991, clocking in at 6:29.
Midnight Hour
Sept. 18, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Effective use of MIDI. The vocals are a duet, with Bob and Vince blending nicely.

Not among the best, but there are some nice peaks that Jerry hits with his guitar.
