Very slick work from Jerry here. One of the best post-Brent versions.

Great Hornsby version. Jerry plays the hell out of his axe here.

Get this St. Patrick's day off to an appropriately rowdy start. Even the accordion works here.

Really good version. This show has one of my favorite set lists and well executed.

You bet your ass I'm listening to this today. 25 years since this bad boy was unleashed on NYC. It never gets tiresome for me.
New Speedway Boogie

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I compared this to the widely (and rightly) lauded lauded version from the Giant Stadium show in June, and while that version packs a huge whallop, I honestly think this one is better. The sheer energy of it being a bust-out coupled with the timely specter of the Gulf War give it the perfect amount of momentum and intensity.

Giants Stadium

It's well performed, but "Dew" is not 2nd set opener material. It needs to be the climax of a particular suite. It shouldn't have to have anything follow it.
Take A Step Back
July 12, 1987
Giants Stadium

The Healy-fied Take a Step Back is so deliciously funky it actually disappoints me it never became a real song.
The Music Never Stopped

Giants Stadium

Hot version, Jerry drives it home at the end.
