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

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."

Comes A Time

Jerry's weathered voice is great here, but his solos, oh man the solos, killer emotional stuff.

Completely epic version. Except for 12/16/94, I enjoy this even more than the ones with Branford. They let Murray do a lot more and he takes charge during the jam.

What are your top two? 3/20 and 12/16?

Maybe the best post-Hornsby version. Relaxed groove, beautiful work from Jerry.

Still my go-to version. They are absolutely singing this for Brent. No other version has such an emotional pull for me. A perfect version.
