Shocking omission from this top 1991 show.

Straightforward, rockin' version. Not as out there as 8/15 or 12/30, but still great.

Another song that hit its stride in '89. Great work by all.

Why does it need to be a contest? "Samba," "Wave," "Shoe Fits," "Childhood's End," "Easy Answers," they are all shit.

"The Wheel" was indeed turning and a new era of the band was about to begin.

One of the most effective versions of a pretty limited song. The vocals are indeed quite nice.

No nonsense version. You could tell they missed playing this one. Keith is even awake here. Jerry's playing like a madman. They ambush this one.

Show is wall to wall highlights and sounds like it could've came from the post-coma renaissance period of 1987-91 as opposed to the troubled pre-coma period. Great set list and the playing is absolutely spectacular throughout.
