Knickerbocker Arena

Such a nice version, included on Dozin' at the Knick -- this is my "go-to" Masterpiece.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Oct. 9, 1989
Hampton Coliseum

The Dark Star breakout gets all the attention but this is actually the highlight of the show strictly from a performance standpoint. Such a passionate and emotive performance. The band just absolutely crushes it.
Looks Like Rain
March 18, 1990
Civic Center

Probably the best performance of an otherwise slightly sub-par night (from a generally incredible tour).
Jack Straw
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Absolutely a fantastic full band effort. It doesn't get much better than this. Do yourself a favor and watch the YouTube link. If you're not smiling at the end I have questions for you.
Throwing Stones
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Part of a hot Throwing Stones> NFA combo before that pairing got completely stale.
Not Fade Away
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

I know Throwing Stones> NFA could sound rote, but don't ignore this one. The intensity is dialed up a notch for the Giants Stadium crowd.
