Not a fan of this song but this version has spunk to spare. Still better when it was called "Hell in a Bucket."

Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

The Dave Murray "Love Light"! Also, James Cotton lays down the harp for an extra bluesy feel. Really spry, energetic version from a great show.

Ass Kicker. 1985 was very kind to "Big Railroad Blues."

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The Spectrum

Not sure why this one is so high. It's a solid version, but it's not mind blowingly creaitive or unique. A reliably workman like version.

For one of the 5 minute "Dark Star"'s that became the norm after 1992, this one is very enjoyable for what's there. Spacey, creepy version. The pre-Drums set at this show is pretty amazing.
Big Railroad Blues

West High Auditorium

Should be way higher. This version destroys.
Playin' In The Band

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"Playin'" was not performed at this show, it was played on the 28th.

This one is truly a spectacular version. The end of "Fire" is like no other, dirty and emotional.
