Bobby seems to be so on this night. Everybody seems to be taking his lead so far.

Heard this last night on the XM Dead Channel. Just classic high energy rock n roll!

Incredible duel between Jerry and Brent Jams! There is nothing in this world like that Hammond organ mixed with Jerry's MIDI

Jerry takes an energetic Scarlet into a mellow jazzy outro into a smooth transition into Fire then Phil starts raising the energy and the Fire grows..

This song at this show was the moment that I got on the bus!

The clarity of the recording makes this one stand out. The start, slow and steady, with whatever that thing Mickey is playing sounding like a frog chirping, takes me back to camping on a lake in summer. Then it disappears into "space" for a while, only to reappear stronger and more powerful than before. 2/13 will always be my favorite for personal reasons but this is a strong version.

Winterland Arena

Understatement of the century! This thing just keeps going. No peaks and valleys. Just high energy from start to finish. Tie one on and hold on.

It's hard to compete with the late '70s shows but this version holds its own nicely. Probably the best of the '90s versions I've ever heard.
