Feel Like A Stranger
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Hot version with Hornsby.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Don't know how this one wasn't submitted yet. One of the most fired up versions I've ever heard from the first great post-Brent show.

Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

I know, I know, 1995, but this is a strong, fun version, from a surprisingly strong show.

New Minglewood Blues
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This version shoots out like a pressure bullet...kick-ass version to open a hot show on a rainy night.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

Best post-Brent version. I miss his ballsy belting on the second verse on versions after he passed, but this one is great thanks to Bruce and Jerry.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 3, 1986
Cal Expo

A rare version of this combo where I think the "Scarlet" is more exciting than the "Fire." Excellent version overall, though.
New Speedway Boogie
Feb. 19, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

How is this fucking low? Though "New Speedway" had a banner comeback throughout 1991, the first bust-out is the best; it has killer momentum, Jerry nails the words, and the crowd reaction is priceless. Get the Vernon aud, which sounds excellent and captures the crowd's reaction.
Dark Star
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

There's a hint of "The Other One" in there as well before "Drums."
When I Paint My Masterpiece
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

Bruce even sneaks in an accordian tease of DS DURING the song.
