Another Polka time announcement starts the song, Bobby has a little extra growl to his voice, real nice backing from Brent on this one.

emotionally powerful, great take on the tale of August West . Love the starkness of this version and the way they build the intensity as the song prog

Great capper to an up and down show and one who's highlights are almost as good as it gets for Vince era Dead.
New Speedway Boogie

I really like the New Speedway->TWBS combos when they tried it. They had a nice groove going on the NSB in 1995.
So Many Roads

RFK Stadium

I had always avoided listening to this show because i let a friend trade my ticket for this night so he could get in giants and was not able to replace it so i didnt go down that night and went to Phish instead, i dont hate Phish but they are not the dead. So i avoided listening until today. there are no super high points but the days and so many roads are very powerful versions. Bruce seems to be a standout the rest of the show but the rest of the boys arent always positive especially jerry.

Absolutely a powerful version, wonderful. Haunting and beautiful this is a powerful version. Jerry is very in control and his singing is fantastic and accurate. Jerry's solo is fabulous soaring wit emotion and has a ton of weight to it. POWERFUL and the drums and keys are just so perfect. Bruce on Grand Piano. I may have found a new favorite, because the vocals are so spot on, the playing is fantastic but some are better but not combined with better lyrics, this is a powerhouse and so late in the run gives it added heaviness. THis may honestly be the best moment of summer tour or the tour from hell as it was known.
