Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

Hollywood Bowl
Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

Friend of the Devil
Oct. 25, 1989
Miami Arena
Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Charlotte Coliseum
Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Rosemont Horizon
As if hypnotized by the groove, the band brings the jam down to a quiet plane before ratcheting up for the conclusion.
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden
I really like the dual keyboard action in this one. While Bruce is pure Old Dominion roll, Vince rocks, sounding agreeably like Garth Hudson. Good showcase for the era.
Estimated Prophet

World Music Theater
The midsong jam in G didn’t do much for me, but the outro is the best kind of midified chaos.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center
Whoa.
The Other One
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center
This is a worthy version. Very primal-sounding at points.
