Beat it on Down The Line

Boston Garden

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

The Spectrum

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

Gorgeous soloing from Jerry and a tender vocal performance. The new mix on the Giants box really lets this one shine.

Bobby is dripping trippy chords all over the jam. SUBLIME

Surprised this has no votes. This version is played with a level of energy and precision CJ rarely ever got. Great set 2 opener.

Jerry's vocals are very effective here in a somewhat understated way. This is an exceptionally clean reading that's right on the edge of definitive.

Maybe my favorite Keith solo ever.

The Phil bombs are outrageous, and Bob plays a surprising little progression in the last solo break that takes the jam further than usual. Heady for sure.
