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."

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

Absolutely gorgeous version. Has the majesty of something like "Terrapin" while maintaining the song's apocalyptic intensity.

Madison Square Garden

Tight and crispy from an amazing show.
Fire On The Mountain

Sphinx Theatre

This version is incredible. The Egypt shows are incredibly uneven, but the Ollin -> Fire -> Aiko is absolutely fucking awesome.

I have to agree that Vince's synth sax sounds really jarring against Branford's much better playing on an actual friggin' saxophone. Shame, because the jam is otherwise absolute aces.

I've been on a kick with "LIG" lately....this one left me breathless.
