Not as strong as later versions with Vince but Jerry takes a hot solo.

Vince's first FOTD is excellent. He sits back and adds some nice, subtle fills while Jerry's sharp, articulate riffs take center stage.

If we can post JGB performances, I feel compelled to post this motherfucker of a TLEO.

Vince's first at his second ever show. One of the best of the 1990s'.

New Speedway Boogie

Madison Square Garden

The passage where Jerry dips into his lower register for the "This darkness..." refrain...chills.
Turn On Your Love Light
March 21, 1994
Richfield Coliseum

Excellent version with great energy and the split is a nice touch! They were inspired this evening.
Sugaree

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

I'm the biggest Alpine '89 fan but I forgot how fucking great this "Sugaree" is. Jerry's solo before the "pouring rain" verse is an absolute monster. I'd put it up there with the 1977 Goliaths, but I'll probably listen to another one from 1974 or 1982 or whenever and say the same thing. The beauty of the band.
Hell in a Bucket

SF Civic

This should be higher, roars at top speed.

First version I ever heard. Loved it from the get-go.
