The frantic energy of a bag of cats being thrown off a freight train. Sandy w GDTRFB packs a serious punch

Vocals are sweeter than honey, which lead to a bluesy solo that bleeds effortlessly into TOO. Very nice
Big Railroad Blues

Starlight Theatre

A vibrant and bouncy version. Not a shredder like some other versions of the era, but the band is shining very brightly on this one

Whoah, this one is MASSIVE. Jerry crazy nimble on the fret board, and the Rhythm Devils are completely out of control. This is a shot of pure adrenaline.

Commenting again, this one needs WAY more dap. Bobby disgustingly growling the lyrics in a manner so fitting it would make Ol' Dirty Bastard grin grimily from beyond the grave. Then, the jam hits double time procession and gets super creative and full-band collaborative. Really choice
Playin' In The Band

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Ok, i am apparently far from done shouting about this show. This PITB is a wonderful, melodic soupy jam, that cosmically converges into a perfect pre-drums segment. One of the better 80's versions i have heard
