Love 1990-91 "The Wheel"'s. They played it at a tempo similar to the original studio version. More urgency and intensity to it.

Barnburner, scorcher, etc. There isn't a bad Bruce-era "Jack Straw."

A very strong version. Bruce and Jerry seemed to always play off each other well on "Sugaree."

Killer version from a Top 5 show from 1994. Vince and Jerry are on and Bob means every word.

This may be my favorite. Jerry's vocals and playing are both lovely.

Sounds like they tease "Satisfaction" at the beginning.

Brent is outstanding here.

Upvoting this to draw attention to how spectacularly horrendous this performance is. It's something to behold.

I was just about ask that...the key for "Fire" is different. What an outlier. Bruce is great here and outshines Jerry, who's rarely sounded froggier. I think 4/7/85 is the only show where I've heard him sound worse.
