Lovely version from an underrated show. Nice harmonies from Brent especially and Jerry's solos sparkle.

How is this not here? Smooth, emotive version with a soaring solo from Jerry. Bruce buttresses it beautifully. Top version.

A perfect version. Smooth as silk with great energy.

cgarces, would love to get your opinion on this one as well as 5/31/92. I know you are the biggest champion of 3/27/94 (and I agree that it's a Top 5 all timer), but I think these two are spectacular in their own right.

Always thought this version was a bit rushed (as I did "Jack Straw" and "Ramble On Rose").

Very fun, peppy latter day "Lovelight."
Corrina

Madison Square Garden

Jerry with that chicken grease funk during the jam....cool stuff. Generally speaking, I'm coming around to "Corrina." It's not a masterpiece, but it has a good groove and overall it's a good, if not great song. Compared to "Wave the Wind" or Vince's schlock, it's a damn-near masterpiece. It at least sounded unique enough to give the band credit for trying something new.
