Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

He's Gone
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

This is my favorite version of "He's Gone." There's just something so haunting about it. A year after he passed, this is the one where I feel Brent's spectre lurking the most. It has a real heaviness to it. Great singing from Jerry, great solo as well, and Bruce adds his touch as well.

Memorial Stadium

Every 1994-95 "Stella" has an incredible emotional weight to it.

Great late day version. Very spry.

Knickerbocker Arena

Amazing version. Great show.

(cont'd) His harmonies are gorgeous, and his organ work really adds an additional foreboding atmosphere to an already dark song.
