Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

Very strong and powerful version. Jerry is in great voice and the outro is magnificent.

This version had me bouncing up and down from beginning to end. What a truly sublime take on the combo.
Eyes Of The World

Giants Stadium

The best nonexistent version.
China Doll

Ventura County Fairgrounds

Someone described this version as having every tempo all at once. It's a very good description.
Victim Or The Crime

Charlotte Coliseum

The "Victim / Eyes" combo here is hugely underrated. Out of this world jamming and mammoth versions of both songs.
