Beat it on Down The Line

Boston Garden

"Beat It" beat it after this one. Abrupt, sloppy lead-in but the song itself is tight and enthusiastic.

I was shocked not to see this one from the famous PPV solstice broadcast.

Phil's all over this one. Really urgent upbeat version.

Great opener for Vince's second show. Jerry's solos are rippin' and Bob's possessed. Nice subtle work from Vinny.

Surprised this ain't here. Lyrically perfect (another Clive ad lib from Bobby) and Jerry kills the transition jam.

Blow Away

This has nothing on the "Samba in the Rain" from Cornell.
Dark Star

Springer's Inn

Never thought there would be a "Dark Star" not added yet.

Grugahalle

Mark my words: this is the best post-1972 "OMNS." The riffs are on target, the vocals are great. Excellent version.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Yea, this one is outstanding. Great solo from Jerry, too.

All of Bobby's mid-1980s' blues songs started off slow and raunchy then got faster and more laid back and generic.
