This one rips!!! The point where the show really takes off. Even Vince gets in a great "organ" solo.

Towards the end of Jerry's last solo he rips into a second go around - blazing!

I think it took a few years for the hard-driving Bucket arrangement to really develop, so pre-1987 versions are not my faves.I like 1987 best for Hell In A Bucket and this is one is ripping good!

Kind of a meandering version, definitely unique, long and interesting with Brent's tones, but not really that intense, if that is what you are looking for.

I like these really speedy versions, too. This one has good intensity.

Winterland Arena

Bright, driving, articulate, seamless transitions, + lengthy jamming make this one the best ever? Damn close if not tops!
