Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Nothing out of the ordinary, just a rock solid version coming out of Space towards the end of a terrific set. Great Jerry licks.

Excellent D/S that capitalizes on the weirdness of the preceding "Uncle John's Band" meltdown.

1994 gave us some great versions of this song. This one from the lauded MSG run is no exception.

Bright, peppy version from one the two or three truly great 1986 shows.

Just a solid well played version in a thoroughly enjoyable set. Jerry's on his game for this one.

Winterland Arena

This, 9/10, and 10/18 are some of the most beautiful, subtle and musical versions ever performed. No weird feedback breakdowns or anything, just epic displays of how good the band can be.
Passenger

Market Square Arena

The raw coarseness in Brent's voice fits the harmonies so much better than Donna's.

William and Mary College Hall

Fantastic version. Tight as can be and rocks like nobody's business.
Big Railroad Blues

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This one rips a hole in the space-time continuum.

Delta Center

One of many tasty delights from the best show of 1995.
