Really good 1990s' "Beat It." Don't sleep on this show, it's on par with the previous night.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Vince's synth playing on the solo really gets to the ethereal heart of the song beautifully. At one point he has a 'choir' sound going that fits so perfectly.

"Words never do this song justice" Neither do live versions.

Comparing this to 4/15/78 is interesting. The 1978 one is more traditional in terms of pacing and momentum, and I guess I can see how this one can seemed forced since they really drag it out at a lumbering pace. But I judge my "Dew"'s on how authentically make me feel like the world is ending, and this one gives me just that. Both are pretty spec-fucking-tacular, though.
Shakedown Street

Civic Arena

This is a Top 3 "Shakedown." The energy is unreal. I shit you not and will fight any who challenge me. You can lose five pounds just jammin' out to this one.
