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.

Great final solo. Wailing.

This whole show smokes from end to end.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Vince unfortunately hurts this one; his keyboard sounds are absolutely grating and it seems like the band is trying to get away from them as fast as possible (Jerry especially). The result is a rushed version that never catches any heat.

1991 and 1993 were great years for "China Doll."

Sweeter than sweet. Just an absolutely flawless rendition. Jerry is spinning gold.
