Really on performance, this is a real animated performance, Vince is shinning, Jerry even throws in some sweet backing vocals.

Proving they could still bring some fire even in 1995 this is a growling hot smoking opener. Bobby is possessed and Jerry lays down some nice runs.

ANother fun one with Phil having a good time even though it stays very close to the Dylan original.

Let It Grow
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

An absolute monster version Jerry fanning and firing off notes machine gun style, hot and intense, the pace is being pushed rather quickly. Bobby messes a few lyrics possibly due to such a fast energetic pace. Jerry is incendiary. Fantastic, Phil is just bombing away, a masterpiece version.

fiery and passionate, whole show is excellent.
Black Muddy River
March 30, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

A song that took on an added dimension following Jerry's passing. This is surely one of the most emotional readings of the song i have heard, excellent version. Here's hoping they end Chicago with an Instrumental Black Muddy River into Box of Rain.

UIC Pavilion

A truly spectacular version, the opening three songs of this night have that extra touch of magic.
