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.

I Will Take You Home is not listed anywhere here and that needs to be fixed. This is a beautiful Peter, coming out of a shred-fest of a Watchtower…. But….. Brent’s gorgeous, heartbreaking ballad is what gets this sequence rolling, with some subtle and profound MIDI work from Jerry. I completely forgot I Will Take You Home was nowhere to be found here. Out of respect for Brent and the band, we should be able vote on our favorites….. It was often the pivot of some very fine shows!!
