Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

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.

This version is unrelentingly insane.

Killer start. Every song in this show is a top shelf version.
Eyes Of The World

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.
