Not as strong as later versions with Vince but Jerry takes a hot solo.

Vince's first FOTD is excellent. He sits back and adds some nice, subtle fills while Jerry's sharp, articulate riffs take center stage.

If we can post JGB performances, I feel compelled to post this motherfucker of a TLEO.

Vince's first at his second ever show. One of the best of the 1990s'.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Absolutely gorgeous version. Has the majesty of something like "Terrapin" while maintaining the song's apocalyptic intensity.
Shakedown Street

Madison Square Garden

Tight and crispy from an amazing show.
Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

This version is incredible. The Egypt shows are incredibly uneven, but the Ollin -> Fire -> Aiko is absolutely fucking awesome.

I have to agree that Vince's synth sax sounds really jarring against Branford's much better playing on an actual friggin' saxophone. Shame, because the jam is otherwise absolute aces.

I've been on a kick with "LIG" lately....this one left me breathless.
