Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Vince's first is a must hear. Anyone who thinks the post-Brent decline was an instantaneous thing needs to listen to these September East Coast shows. Vince's tone was much cleaner and natural sounding than 1992 onward.

This one should shoot way up to the list. The transition is stone cold brilliance and the "Fire" is a nuclear assault.
