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
June 24, 1995
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.
