Snarling version to open set 2.

Gimme Some Lovin'

Frost Amphitheatre

Lovin' -> Half-Step to open. Punchy, rocking combo.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

This spicy version won't blow any minds but closes out a totally solid and enjoyable first set. Jerry's got the spices flowing for the Rider solo.

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
Dec. 17, 1992
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
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Sublime version.
