Not a fan of this song but this version has spunk to spare. Still better when it was called "Hell in a Bucket."

Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

The Dave Murray "Love Light"! Also, James Cotton lays down the harp for an extra bluesy feel. Really spry, energetic version from a great show.

Ass Kicker. 1985 was very kind to "Big Railroad Blues."

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

One of the best "China Cat"'s I've ever heard. This deserves a shit ton of votes.
Playin' In The Band
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

This covers in 11 minutes what a lot of other versions take 15, 20, or 30 (or 46) to do so. Tight, compact version with sick work from everyone. Phil kills it here.
The Music Never Stopped
June 25, 1992
Soldier Field

Sick version; Vince does some of his best ever work in the jam.
Cassidy
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

This is a full band effort that leaps out of the gate and builds to a great conclusion. Flawlessly lands into possibly the best ever "Might as Well."
