Love 1990-91 "The Wheel"'s. They played it at a tempo similar to the original studio version. More urgency and intensity to it.

Barnburner, scorcher, etc. There isn't a bad Bruce-era "Jack Straw."

A very strong version. Bruce and Jerry seemed to always play off each other well on "Sugaree."

Rosemont Horizon

Killer version from a Top 5 show from 1994. Vince and Jerry are on and Bob means every word.

Hell in a Bucket
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

This should be higher as well. The whole band absolutely attacks the song. It has a punch few others do.
Shakedown Street

Soldier Field

MASSIVE jam here. Jerry and Bruce destroy this one. Top 5.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

This should have 100+ votes. It's an absolutely massive version. So quiet and pretty most of the time than just frightens the shit out of you unrelentingly. Incredible version; Billy is on fire here.
They Love Each Other

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

One of the very best post-Brent performances of any song. Jerry is as good as he's ever been here.
