One of Brent's last shows and he does a great job on the keys. Healy tweaks Bob's voice for a spooky "Phantom of the Opera". A literary version from

Very high energy Desolation Row. Bobby might have hurt himself on this one.

Sweet vocals, as seems common for this tune

A standout version from a great show.

Real nice Bobby giving 100% despite a slight throat issue that plaques him much of 1993, Jerry rips his solo. Real Nice performance. Vince is on too

This is the first Desolation that really clicked for me; could never forget the other Bob singing it, but not this one; from a solid first set--

This very well could be the best ever. Most intense Bob vocals that I have ever heard for this song.
