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.

Give Vince credit - he's terrific here. Rockin' version.

Vinny's tone in the early shows is really great and reminds me of the 1960s' surf rock sound.

Jerry is also in pretty strong shape vocally. A little tired but clear and soulful.

The "Shakedown" from the 10th is a monster worth checking out!
