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.

Looks Like Rain

Nassau Coliseum

Bob's 'I Can't Stand the Rain' shrieks are hair-raisingly powerful here. Just full of force.

Love how Bob and Jerry intertwine on this one.

Laguna Seca Recreation Area

This version is unrelentingly insane.
Feel Like A Stranger

Capital Centre

Killer start. Every song in this show is a top shelf version.
Eyes Of The World
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre

This show needs far more love than it receives and it starts with this colossal one time only "Eyes" -> "Foolish" combo. Jerry's intro to "Eyes" is jaw droppingly pure and soulful, and not a minute of its 20 total is wasted. This is a Top 3 show of 1991.
