Love 1990-91 "The Wheel"'s. They played it at a tempo similar to the original studio version. More urgency and intensity to it.

Barnburner, scorcher, etc. There isn't a bad Bruce-era "Jack Straw."

A very strong version. Bruce and Jerry seemed to always play off each other well on "Sugaree."

Rosemont Horizon

Killer version from a Top 5 show from 1994. Vince and Jerry are on and Bob means every word.

Morning Dew

Nassau Coliseum

For the same reason as 10/14/1994's "Scarlet -> Fire," this is my favorite "Dew" from a purely enjoyable listening experience. There's something so endearing and bittersweet about Jerry nailing something this perfectly this late in the game.

Too much hate for this version, 2:45 on "Slipknot!" has some seriously funky playing from Jerry.

Wow.

This version is a killer thanks to the drums, they're like a-bombs.
Victim Or The Crime
Aug. 16, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Imagine: your skipping through a lily field, everything is sunshine and roses, the birds are chirping, the sky is blue as can be...all of a sudden, you fall through a dark hole. You land in a dark, underground cavern with no lights, there are bats and other creepy creatures everywhere. You keep moving but are frightened by what you encounter and it seems this darkness never ends, until you finally reach the end: you're back to where you started, on the other end of the rainbow, everything is all good again. That is what this "Scarlet -> Victim -> Fire" segment is.
