Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Great dichotomy between Jerry and Duane's solos

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

RFK Stadium

This one is tight and has a lovely, fluttering melodic peak. A choice version and a go-to track on the new RFK release, for sure
Dear Mr. Fantasy

RFK Stadium

Not usually my tune, but my good GOD, Jerry annihilates these solos
Not Fade Away
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

This is a RIPPING good. Full shred, with thumping percussion. Wow.
Feel Like A Stranger

Providence Civic Center

The stank on this solo requires open windows when listening, for proper ventilation.
Built to Last

Crisler Arena

This is all about the seamless segues in and out of PITB. Jerry's vocals are rough this show, but the creativity and placement in the 2nd set make this a goodie
