Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

Public Hall

Wonderful version, and I concur with above on all counts.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Nassau Coliseum

Them doing Dylan covers for these last few years pays off tonight.
Turn On Your Love Light
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Odd juxtaposition of Branford making parts of this 1950s rock and roll, and Bobby doing some Pig rap.
