Jerry’s guitar is sublime and gorgeous, backed by Bruce’s piano, Vince’s keyboards and Bobby’s vocals are exactly perfect!

Totally bananas Bertha!! The transition out of Miracle is savage, all part of a gonzo post-drums jam to end a truly brilliant show!!!!

When we listen to this version it brings us right back…. sorta like another variation on the way they sounded nearly every time we heard them play China-Rider in the 1980s….in other words, China-Rider would somehow manage to take some soaring unexpected twists and turns and still always be roaring and urgent and pure bliss…just like this. If that makes any sense!!?!!?
