Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

He's Gone
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

This is my favorite version of "He's Gone." There's just something so haunting about it. A year after he passed, this is the one where I feel Brent's spectre lurking the most. It has a real heaviness to it. Great singing from Jerry, great solo as well, and Bruce adds his touch as well.
Stella Blue
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Every 1994-95 "Stella" has an incredible emotional weight to it.
Dire Wolf

Boston Garden

Great late day version. Very spry.
All Along the Watchtower
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Amazing version. Great show.

Greek Theater

(cont'd) His harmonies are gorgeous, and his organ work really adds an additional foreboding atmosphere to an already dark song.
