Not a fan of this song but this version has spunk to spare. Still better when it was called "Hell in a Bucket."

Turn On Your Love Light

Madison Square Garden

The Dave Murray "Love Light"! Also, James Cotton lays down the harp for an extra bluesy feel. Really spry, energetic version from a great show.

Ass Kicker. 1985 was very kind to "Big Railroad Blues."

I love this version. Which they kept it like this.

What a trio! Must've motivated to Bobby to grab the spotlight back with the kickass TMNS that followed.

Powerful version that could use a few more votes. Jerry's voice is strained and cracks a couple of times, but he's giving it his all and the guitar work is excellent, Phil's also all over this one.

First one since 1987, and honestly one of the better ones I've heard. Amazingly beautiful, everyone's together for this one.

Jerry had some tech issues in this first set, that's probably it's not as widely known. But the whole band is really on.
