Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

Franklin's Tower
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Huge version won't quit. Agree with Mercury that Bobby stands out.
They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Phil is doing something very far out on this, especially during Jerry's solo. Needs to be heard.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Bobby's playing and sound in the transition are great. Amusing that he goes into Jerry's "I wish I was..." verse. Jerry's chordal solo at the end is fantastic.
Shakedown Street
Oct. 25, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

You have the feeling this is a monster version from the first downbeat and you're not wrong.
The Other One
Aug. 13, 1979
McNichols Arena

Very dense and dynamic. Great transition out of He's Gone
