Beat it on Down The Line
Oct. 3, 1994
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.

World Music Theatre

I just listened to this show in full the other day...it's brilliant. So tight and clean. Brent went out on top. This "Truckin'" is a monster. Great jam into a killer "Smokestack."

This is as good as this song gets. Flawless rendition. Jerry gets the lyrics right and delivers them with confidence.

Bobby's support behind Jerry's absolutely brilliant transition solo is heavenly.

Bob's vocals are so ballsy here! Great jam, too.

Only 11 minutes into this one and already I've been transported.
