Beautiful guitar work by Jerry throughout!

Uncle John's Band
23 Minutes. Melts out of a beautiful little playin Jam led by a Jerry Phil standoff. Really a classic version of this beautiful song. Great exit jam.

Box of Rain
Fantastic ending to an underrated show, Has those extra little touches and Phil really inflects every line with that little extra effort. Wonderful

alley cat version here. right mix of twangy and punchy, jerry really playing/singing this one with a nice feel

Jack Straw
Another great 1993 version to go with 6/11, 6/21, 8/22, 9/10. Jerry goes nutso.

Friend of the Devil
Jerry's in poor voice but this is a beautifully played version with a great pace to it.

Rip roaring!

Playin' In The Band
Not up to earlier 1993 versions but totally solid and weird.

Stella Blue
Lovely.

Tennessee Jed
Fantastic. That twangy sound so good on this one.

Drums -> Space
Excellent D/S that capitalizes on the weirdness of the preceding "Uncle John's Band" meltdown.

I Need A Miracle
Nothing out of the ordinary, just a rock solid version coming out of Space towards the end of a terrific set. Great Jerry licks.
1
Way To Go Home
Not the biggest fan of this song, but this is a good version with a strong Jerry solo.
1
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Lovely version of the Dylan classic. Jerry plays some great leads and his acoustic tone works extremely well here.

Easy Answers
Fuck this song, but the entire show is now represented. Decent Jerry leads.

Really fun, rocking version to close out what's really an excellent show. Top 5 of 1993.
