Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

Super fun version from an incredibly hot and solid 94 show. Vince sounds awesome on the barroom style piano solo

Smokin version, agree with above comments that Brent’s tinkly keys actually sound fantastic here. Jerry’s ripped up vox are fun too.

Great one. Strong vocals and great entry entry into the big last solo. Not top 10 or anything but very solid.

Jerry’s really into it. Vocals are HEAVY. Great solo too. There isn’t a bad version of this one.

Honestly pretty darn hot especially for summer tour 94. This is just a special show. Fun stuff and you can tell Jerry was really trying to pull his weight.
