Smooth as they come. Clean lines and nice Vince contributions.

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Part of a "rain" set, this version has great energy and features Phil dropping a stadium-vibrating bomb.

Phil takes over the middle section. Highlight of the show.

Bobby's fired up, the band is tight.

Sweet and soulful, it cleared the storm clouds and was accompanied by a double rainbow.

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Madison Square Garden

Phil is really jazzed up on this version.

Madison Square Garden

Very peppy and the band is completely locked in out of the gate. That's not always the case in 1994. Highly recommended.
Broken Arrow

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Phil sings, "Broken Asshole" at the 4:00 mark of this version. It's clearly audible.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Really energetic version with clean Jerry licks and tons of Bobby enthusiasm on the outro. Solid for any era.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This is an outstanding version with Phil way out front and the whole band tight and clicking. Should be ranked higher.
