Not a fan of this song but this version has spunk to spare. Still better when it was called "Hell in a Bucket."

Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

The Dave Murray "Love Light"! Also, James Cotton lays down the harp for an extra bluesy feel. Really spry, energetic version from a great show.

Ass Kicker. 1985 was very kind to "Big Railroad Blues."

I think my head exploded the first time I listened to this one. It's almost not human how intense this bad boy is.

One of the absolute highlights of Jerry's entire output as a guitarist. I teared up at just how beautiful this version is.
El Paso

Madison Square Garden

This is my favorite "El Paso." Bob's acoustic guitar adds a very appropriate touch, and the way Jerry and Phil decorate it is fantastic.

Fantastic late day "Bertha." They're really on fire for this one.
Wang Dang Doodle

Sullivan Stadium

This version should be at the top. It's unusually spooky and driven, compared to the more relaxed versions that followed.
