Keith is going nuts and the drummers have a swing in their shoes. FANTASTIC version that needs some love.

Absolutely flabbergasted this isn't on here. An incredible version from Barton Hall. Brings tears to my eyes.

Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

I've always loved Phil's bass on this one - he's nice and loud and keeping up with the fast tempo. Definitely the best version ever.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

As massive as the Fire ever got. This is a whole band effort, all the way through to the epic jam at the end. Truly an amazing version.

TheBusCame, you're definitely correct - there's shades of HCS all throughout this version! Pretty cool, considering they hadn't played said track in nearly three years.
Ramble On Rose
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Love Jerry's MIDI solo here. Turns it into a HUGE version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1990
Deer Creek Music Theater

Out of control! The Rider is about as fast as they ever played, and the transition jam is an old-school slice of Bobby riffs.
