Charged up with energy coming out of the hot Alabama opener. They really go after this one, and makes it stand out. Great stuff!

Loads of fun! Like versions from '79, it's an interesting hybrid version - the energy of 80's versions but minus the second solo. Still kicks, though!

I always liked the late-second-set placement of Bertha in the early Brent era. This one smokes - Brent's keys are fiery and Jerry destroys the solo.

The menacing transition out of Black Peter is only matched by Bobby attacking the mic like a rabid dog. The post-drums/space of this show is killer.

Slow, haunting, and dramatic. Comes slithering out of Space like a wafting plume of smoke.

Billy's drums sound great here. A rampaging version!
Me and My Uncle

Hampton Coliseum

Bobby actually upstages Jerry here, especially after the flubbed Candyman. Wild version with tons of gusto in the vocals, and the energy continues into Big River.

??? There was no show on this date. Did you mean 4/4/85?
Hell in a Bucket
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

Since this comment will bring me to +666 points, I might as well comment on a hot Hell in a Bucket. And boy is it hot. Sets the tone for an excellent show.
Throwing Stones

Madison Square Garden

Hot jam with that classic Cassidy-esque riff that marked earlier versions of this song. Toward the end, it sounds like the band wants to go into Sugar Magnolia, but Jerry cans it for Touch of Grey.
