Beat it on Down The Line

Boston Garden

"Beat It" beat it after this one. Abrupt, sloppy lead-in but the song itself is tight and enthusiastic.

I was shocked not to see this one from the famous PPV solstice broadcast.

Phil's all over this one. Really urgent upbeat version.

Great opener for Vince's second show. Jerry's solos are rippin' and Bob's possessed. Nice subtle work from Vinny.

Surprised this ain't here. Lyrically perfect (another Clive ad lib from Bobby) and Jerry kills the transition jam.

I love this version. Which they kept it like this.

What a trio! Must've motivated to Bobby to grab the spotlight back with the kickass TMNS that followed.

Powerful version that could use a few more votes. Jerry's voice is strained and cracks a couple of times, but he's giving it his all and the guitar work is excellent, Phil's also all over this one.

First one since 1987, and honestly one of the better ones I've heard. Amazingly beautiful, everyone's together for this one.

Jerry had some tech issues in this first set, that's probably it's not as widely known. But the whole band is really on.
