Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Heavy (and long) drums, short space, > Dark Star, but it sounds like they stay in Space for the monster post-verse 2 jam.

Great version. Nice Jerry, nice Keith, emotive Bobby. Sip your bourbon in the desert.

Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows
May 31, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Picked these because I knew and loved the originals. In retrospect I would have started elsewhere, but that's in the past. I thought I was ready for the bus after the headiness of the originals, but how wrong I was!

Takes a minute to materialize out of "Playing," but that's worth hearing. Jerry rips out the "train" line!
Hey Pocky Way

Cal Expo

Good times.

Nice solo from Jerry, and then a big contribution from Brent. Not to be missed by Brenantics. Giving this one the up-vote bump.
Queen Jane Approximately

Knickerbocker Arena

Surprisingly nice version, kicks up some at the end.
