Fine, fine 1989 version with a very enjoyable and weird jam into "D/S."

20 minute version with momentum and creativity galore. Held my attention the entire time.

Very cool soundcheck version released on the 2018 30 Days of Dead. It would've been cool if they busted out at this great Memphis show.

Hell in a Bucket
June 21, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

This one gets some hate because everyone was expecting "Fire" after "Scarlet" and Bob kind of forces the band to go into "Bucket" instead. That said, this is a fast and furious version that deserves your attention.

Kickass version.

Coliseum

Only complaint is Healey goes overboard with the echo on Bob's voice.

This is a great and unique version. If there's any complaint I have, it's a little TOO heavy on Jerry, as Vince was really holding back (understandable given how early in his tenure it was), which rob it of some of the dynamics that make other versions so special. In the 1974-90 versions, I looked forward as much to Keith and Brent's contributions as I did Jerry's.

Agreed, although some of the 1990-1991 have a bit more of the urgency present in the studio version.
