It Must Have Been The Roses

Freedom Hall

In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Nice call Moberg! Sweet > from the “Dancin’” fade out. Nice first solo. Drums kick up a notch before the final the end. Crowd loves it. Absolutely worth a listen.

The Palladium

Vocals are good (Donna’s having an on night). Crowd twigs during “in NYC” line. Shorter but very coherent solo from Garcia. Fade out at end performed rather well.

Also, "Estimated" followed by "Jed" is too perverse to pass up.

Moore's AUD is a bit boomy on the low end (I agreed with others on the LMA who thought the band sounded too far away on the other source). I dealt with it (it's not that bad), but if it bugs you, throw it into your favorite editing program. Don't let it deter you from hearing this!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

It ain't my vote! I definitely think this is the better of the two.
