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.

This is an outstanding latter day "Cumberland" and should have more votes. The band is super locked in here.
New Minglewood Blues
Dec. 28, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Incredible version. This whole show is as good as any they ever played. Even Vince was better than he'd ever be at this one.
Foolish Heart

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

MONSTER version.
Morning Dew
June 21, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena

Listened to this one last night. It started off rough, but Jerry pulls it together by the end and the climax is worth it, though it ends a bit abruptly. It's got nothing on 3/27/94 as far as late era Dews go.
Unbroken Chain

Charlotte Coliseum

This is the best version because it's the only version where someone other than Phil seems to be fully invested in it. God Bless Hornsby, he pulled the band out of a ton of quagmires.
