A rockin' reprise out of a haunting "China Doll."

I...can't believe I'm submitting this...but Jerry lays down a very good solo worth hearing once.

Torched rendition. 5/26 gets all the attention but 5/27 is pretty fucking excellent as well.

Frost Amphitheatre

Jerry modifies the intro and delivers a riveting solo later on.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 19, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Agreed, this is the best "Scarlet -> Fire" I've heard from 1992-93, which overall wasn't a strong period for the combo. It's better than the absurdly ranked 9/13/93, though both don't deserve more than 10-15 votes overall.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The way this one is played, the rhythm or whatever, sounds more like a 1970s' "Scarlet," it has that swing, that lilt that 1977-78 versions have. Cool version.
The Race Is On
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Not bad at all for a song played, what, four times since 1986? Vince does indeed crush it here.
Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Vince's vocals aside, this is the best version.
He's Gone

Madison Square Garden
