I'm just glad I never broke Brent's heart. Anyway, great vocals, solos, and overall performance on this excellent Healy matrix. "Ah, what the hell!"

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Very fine post-Brent-era version with Bruce helping out on piano. The closing jam sounds like a segue into TOO, but leads into D/S.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Sandwiches Lovelight, but funky jamming in the outro. Bop bop

Like 6/22/93 Deer Creek, this well-sung and -performed version is a nice capper to a strong evening.

Vince teases Stagger Lee starting at 4:00 and continuing through Jerry's MIDI solo. A nice variation - has the band done this before?

Springfield Civic Center

Heavy, brute accompaniment on the "blue-light cheap motel" bridge, contrasting with the delicacy of the rest of the performance.

Bill is getting teased by some impatient guitarists prior to the count-in ;-)
The Music Never Stopped

Frost Amphitheatre

Given a good thrashing by the whole band.

Vince sounds great here and gets to shine throughout this first set - maybe he had friends and family in the audience?

Brent's organ solo, but also Jerry's slide sustain in the first solo. Thank you, Charlie Miller.
