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.

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.

I Need A Miracle
Oct. 31, 1984
Berkley Community Theatre

Just stopped by to ensure this was here. Raw and smoking (as was this entire One More Halloween Night), Jerry drives the bluesy shuffle around the BCT, making sure to push Kelly out front for a turn. Cool intro to it, too. Recommended.
Its All Over Now

A great example of a tune that has every individual doing what they do to perfection and loosely, and therefore the totality of it all is rip-roarin' fun for all. I thought Brent was going to fall off the bench at one point. Fucking boogie-fest.
The Same Thing

Winterland Arena

When you go to heaven, you look Pig in the eye and tell him this ain't the GOAT.

To answer your question about the soundboard available, Keith, the answer is a resounding yes. The Archive has a fantastic patch offered up. The sound is so raw and alive, I can only imagine being in attendance for the show. Wow. The newness of Miracle at this time means that the flow of it, particularly the ending, had not yet become so canned. Jer and Donna's lyrics go on and on while Bobby screams about needing a miracle. Fantastic stuff. (The whole show is off the chain.)
Deal

Shreddy and heady end to a super-tight set that was relentlessly hot.
