Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Excellent Walkin' Blues from the Dueling Keyboard era - an exemplar of '91

The Spectrum

Encore at show that premiered Unbroken Chain live. A warm, coherent, and emotional Brokedown in an era of mediocrity. RIP Jerry

The Omni

Solid Set Opener, not as intense as later versions in the year but excellent nonetheless

Rosemont Horizon

Out of a spectacular space comes this masterpiece, chock full of jamming - descends into a great Wharf Rat

Excellent Wharf with mighty fine jamming, leads into an unconventional Watchtower set closer

Hampton Coliseum

Really punchy version. The Oade brothers recording has everyone beautifully in the mix. One of my favorite AUD's.

Nassau Coliseum

Any version after '72 with a Sweet Suzy deserves an immediate upvote - really builds both playing and vocally

My dog literally perked its head and ears up when it heard the final solo when I was playing the vinyl release. Totally heady + Keith is the man!

Madison Square Garden

That roar during "Just like New York City" is just awesome - fantastic version.
