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

Jerry's voice holds up pretty well, givemn the year. His guitar work on the second instrumental break is worth a listen to.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry's voice is in rough shape, and he flubs a line, but his guitar playing is decent.

The Palace

Hard to listen to - Jerry's a mess.
Promised Land
Oct. 13, 1990
Ice Stadium

Vince and Phil have some energy. Vince takes the first instrumental jam and a sluggish Jerry takes the second.
Queen Jane Approximately
May 11, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Solid instrumentals by the whole band. Bobs vocals are spot on.
