They Love Each Other

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's vocal delivery is smooth, Brent's contribution fit the groove nicely, and a heady solo from Jer to boot.

Rhythm Ace and Jerry - fantastic version

Touch of Grey

Capital Centre

Fantastic! Probably the best of 92, an uplifting dual opener after LTGTR. March 92 was hot!

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Particularly passionate vocal work by Bob and the boys. Jamming strong as well. Barn burner status? Possibly.

Great Western LA Forum

Big jam before the first 'bake your bread' line is heady as fuck, and transition seamless; cool album version percussion too.

Picasso Moon

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Strong and the ending jam is truly hot.
Jack Straw

Olympia Theater

Could have easily been the album version. On par.

Zoo Amphitheater

Rough with regard to Jerry’s lyric recall, but echo the sentiments towards the jam and playing overall. Post-song jam heads into Stranger-esque territory IMO.
