Ramble On Rose

Cal Expo

1989 was a banner year for this song. Brent is on fire and Jerry is, well, Jerry. Killer version.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The symbolism of playing this one at Keith & Donna's last show makes this one significant. Great version.

Really strong version. Jerry's vocals are particularly sharp and playful here. Bobby and Brent deliver big here.

Hell in a Bucket
June 21, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

This one gets some hate because everyone was expecting "Fire" after "Scarlet" and Bob kind of forces the band to go into "Bucket" instead. That said, this is a fast and furious version that deserves your attention.

Kickass version.
Hell in a Bucket
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

Only complaint is Healey goes overboard with the echo on Bob's voice.

This is a great and unique version. If there's any complaint I have, it's a little TOO heavy on Jerry, as Vince was really holding back (understandable given how early in his tenure it was), which rob it of some of the dynamics that make other versions so special. In the 1974-90 versions, I looked forward as much to Keith and Brent's contributions as I did Jerry's.

Agreed, although some of the 1990-1991 have a bit more of the urgency present in the studio version.
