Touch of Grey

Madison Square Garden

Only the third performance. The groovy rhythm of the early versions lets Brent's piano REALLY flourish here. Tighter than most other '82 versions.

Deal

Paramount Theatre

Played a little slower than usual, but not missing an ounce of passion. Keith and Donna sound great during the outro.

Johnny B. Goode

Paramount Theatre

Strummin' to the rhythm that the DRUMMERS made. They're pounding their kits while the rest of the band rages behind them. Keith sounds great too.

One More Saturday Night
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

A good one played on a Saturday night. Kicks into gear in the second half. Brent's organ is stellar, and Jerry's midi textures add flavor to the mix

Not Fade Away
Sept. 21, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Fiery, with loads of Brent organ and a tight jam. Everyone's totally locked into the groove.

My all-time favorite version. Emotional, sexy, and rewarding. Everyone's playing their hearts out, especially Jerry and Vince trading licks all throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Copps Coliseum

Such a full, rewarding, and life-affirming version. Not necessarily my favorite, but probably the one I've listened to the most. It puts me in a good mood every time I hear it...
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Avalon Ballroom

Tom Constanten is all over this version and came out to PLAY this show. Love it.
Mexicali Blues

LOVE the instrumental work in this version. Perhaps my favorite version ever.

This one's a scorcher. Jerry's soloing is particularly great.
