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."

Rosemont Horizon

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

This is not the first version post-coma, or even the first one of 1987. But there's something about this performance that puts definitive punctuation as to whether or not Jerry was truly back.

This needs to be at the top, I will absolutely put it up against 7/19/89 and 3/22/90. Just an absolutely ferocious version.

Civic Center

I still can't believe this and several other versions from this show are down as low as they are. This charges along with that 'new lease on life' energy Jerry had and doesn't let up.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

I'm very surprised this one is as low as it is. Sung with great feeling, Clarence's sax is a surprisingly effective touch.

Wouldn't be a sax show without "Lovelight"!
