Awesome version. Listen to Jerry from the start and especially his solo (and Phil). This spring tour comes to life right here.

Let It Grow
Dec. 31, 1985
Oakland Coliseum
Slamming version
High Time
Nov. 1, 1985
Richmond Coliseum
Listen to the first phrase of Jerry's solo. It's a standard figure that he sometimes uses to begin the song (though not this time), but it is played with such clarity and feeling that it's like a shot through the brain. He briefly struggles to find the right notes immediately after, which only underscores the impact.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center
When Brent played that genius riff in the intro, his notes shot out into the Hartford Civic Center and bounced around the rafters like balls of sparkly green lightning.
Dire Wolf
June 25, 1985
Blossom Music Center
It's got everything you're looking for in a 1985 DW: quick tempo, plaintive croaking vocals, and a tight pedal steely solo from Jer.
Midnight Hour
April 8, 1985
The Spectrum
Great version with Jerry in good form and humor, quoting the Jackson 5.
