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.

Jerry is playing this one for Brent.

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

This one's awesome. It can hang with 3/27/94 and 3/20/92 as one of the best late era "Other One"'s. This whole second set is awesome.

10/17/94 is not better than this one.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Do not go to this one if you want to hear mind busting peaks with flamethrower solos from Jerry. What makes this one shine is its subtlety, but more importantly the tight rhythmic dynamic between Phil, Bruce and the drummers.

Would've been first since 3/27/93 at the Knick.
