Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

One of the best ever! Truly shocked it ain’t higher. Keith’s keys make it extra special....

Scary and powerful Other One. Made me realize there are no entries for I Will Take You Home, which is a shame. The one leading into this is a favorite. Contrary to what Others may have felt, Take You Home never interfered with the flow of a show for me. It was different for sure, and some felt it was out of place... But really, it was a beautiful Brent ballad....

This is a beast. Like most beasts, it's a bit wild and unruly, but excellent overall....
