Absolutely gorgeoues version coming out of "Space." Jerry and Bruce blend together so well.

Way To Go Home
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

I'm not a big fan of this song but this is a very good version (and it's lightyears better than "Samba in the Rain"). I really love these Memphis shows. The boys threw down and made up for the 20+ years they hadn't been there.

Very patient, delicate version.

Pig's versions are generally the best, but you gotta give it to Bobby for at least this one. He absolutely roars it and Jerry's guitar work is fuckin' sexy.
Ripple

Capital Centre

Maybe the timing is off, maybe it's not a perfect version...but it's fucking "Ripple." I wish they kept this in rotation until 1995. Would've been great in the "Attics" / "Brokedown" spots.

Great version of maybe their most perfect song.
