Giants Stadium

This hit me perfectly. Well paced, lyrically nailed the poignancy, peak was driven. Nice late-era Peter

I was surprised to look back and see how relatively short this version was, because it had wonderful pace and the punch was ferocious.

Giants Stadium

I have a huge heart for 89/90 era Knockin's, most especially for Jerry's perfect, blissful ambient tone. This one slays exactly as it should

Auditorium Theatre

Usually a fly over song for me, but Keith is suuuper bouncy in this and Jerry meshes perfectly with fills. Fun version
