Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

Great final solo. Wailing.

This whole show smokes from end to end.

Madison Square Garden

Vince unfortunately hurts this one; his keyboard sounds are absolutely grating and it seems like the band is trying to get away from them as fast as possible (Jerry especially). The result is a rushed version that never catches any heat.

1991 and 1993 were great years for "China Doll."

Sweeter than sweet. Just an absolutely flawless rendition. Jerry is spinning gold.
