Hell in a Bucket

Madison Square Garden

Pure power. Phil drives things as he did this entire MSG run. Jerry's guitar sound is caustic.

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Jer is showing off his new guitar and that raw sound it can make. Upbeat night with the boys clearly anticipating Edie's visit.

Rowdy version. Bobby's singing was very animated this Alpine run.

The rare encore slot. A send-off to boogie down to as reward for braving the rain.

Three Rivers Stadium

@johnsro8: Jerry is looking at the help to the side of the stage and says "I can't hear Weir". But this version is sick, and it's clear why this night was the initial VFTV release. Scorching show.
Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows

Madison Square Garden

An absolute head full here. Jerry is like a mad scientist with the slide for TNK. Trippy shit.

Civic Center

Criminally underrated thanks to the 3/29 version. If you have not partied this version before, stop what you're doing and go to the Archive right now. Take headphones.

Nassau Coliseum

Captain Obvious says this is a fantastic version. But Jerry's playing here is just simply not better than so many others. But for the sax, this would not even be the best EOTW from March 1990 (Hartford). The sax is very cool, but not enough to place this above (pick one from 1974).
