Greatest Story Ever Told
June 28, 1991
Mile High Stadium

Heavy and squishy, full of chops, assisted on the come up by Blu Hot Bruce. Midi and perfect touch of grey running the screen

Carter-Finley Stadium

Ethereal washes and moody slow beats percolate, Primal and yearning!! Space=TRES out there, punishingly freaky!!! "My friends ran for the exit"

passionate raveup. Sonically all encompassing, great globes of wolf vision. Sermonizing

China Doll
Feb. 19, 1973
International Amphitheatre

crystalline gossamer magic. Heartbreaking, tender version.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

Fantastic version. Makes you wonder how quickly Vince could have developed his own voice which he eventually did by somewhere in 93-94, if he didn't have to jockey with Bruce. Oceanic, meditative, tight, playful, kind version.
Jack Straw
Aug. 22, 1993
Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

another fantastic version - Lightning Bolt working that crispy trebly tone, phil/devils off the leash.

Deer Creek Music Center

powerful screaming version. Bob cuts the big man off while he's rolling
He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

great call, this seems like a major version- 77 is of course the heyday of slow he's gone and this one passes with honors. Betty board is translucent honey. This version is a fearful beggar experiencing disregulation of identity- devils find the spot in the downbeat completely free of anticipation, Phil 'n' Bob jigsaws aligning. Great coda and sprawling dark jam to follow.
