Beat it on Down The Line

Boston Garden

"Beat It" beat it after this one. Abrupt, sloppy lead-in but the song itself is tight and enthusiastic.

I was shocked not to see this one from the famous PPV solstice broadcast.

Phil's all over this one. Really urgent upbeat version.

Great opener for Vince's second show. Jerry's solos are rippin' and Bob's possessed. Nice subtle work from Vinny.

Surprised this ain't here. Lyrically perfect (another Clive ad lib from Bobby) and Jerry kills the transition jam.

AMAZING performance.
Stella Blue

Boston Garden

This. This is where I GOT "Stella Blue." Amazingly, singularly emotional version.

Outstanding, spiritied, uptemp "Scarlet" coming out of a truly hot "Sugar Magnolia." If only they went into "Fire" after, that really would've been ace.
Dark Star

Dream Bowl

Really, really nice DS that stays close to the surface. Expert, fluid jamming throughout.
Franklin's Tower

Nassau Coliseum

Spectacular version. Jerry's vocals are so crisp on this one!
