An uncommonly rich version--Jerry and Bruce both make great use of their solos while Bob, Vince, and Phil add vibrant texture throughout.

Riverfront Arena

Sung passionately, played precisely. Just exactly perfect version.

Its All Over Now

Riverfront Arena

Unusually professional sounding for a cover. This one is nice and tight with just the right amount of bounce.

In full command of the Wall’s sonic clarity, Jerry executes on some softer, more intricate lead parts. Lovely version.

Little Red Rooster

Civic Arena

The Brent-driven portion of the jam is downright smoldering. The rest of the band can't resist getting in on the action.

New Minglewood Blues

Three Rivers Stadium

Bob's slide solo is actually pretty solid on this one!

The full band is on fire here. Precise delivery/playing from Jerry, creative + propulsive backing from Bob and Phil, lock-step work from the rhythm Devils and tasteful fills by Brent elevate this small tune to top tier.
Big River

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Maybe the best version with Brent? Pretty incredible group improv from Brent, Jerry, and Bob.
Gimme Some Lovin'
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

You ever watch a baseball game where the pitcher is throwing serious heat all night, but the bats just can't come alive? That's Brent throughout this show -- and there's no better memorial to his efforts than this track. From the vocals to the keys, he is setting this GMSL ablaze.
Picasso Moon

Nassau Coliseum

Brent is on fire for this whole first set, but somehow this divisive song highlights the depth of his contributions. His improvisations throughout the whole song send this one into the stratosphere long before any real jamming takes place.
