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.

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

Terrapin Station
June 26, 1994
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

The jam out of this Terrapin is probably the most psychedelic, exploratory jam they performed in the band's final two years. Simply outstanding.

Soldier Field

Fantastic outtro jam, proving there were great moments in unexpected places in the later years.
Spanish Jam
May 30, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

This tight version came out of an epic Space that was punctuated by an incredible thunder and lightning show. Audience recordings allow you to hear it all unfold, complete with audience reaction.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1994
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Great groove in this Fire which is really pushed by the drummers. This 2nd set was unusually long and well-played for the era.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 6, 1994
Desert Sky Pavilion

This was Healy's last show and he had Jerry's guitar cranked. Great version for the era.
