This, "Saint" and of course "Visions" remarkably solid for 1995.

Jerry lays it down nice and smooth. Bob's animated and Vince is even great here. Last great show.

Fun NYC version...9/20 is better, though.

Jerry and Bobby both shred this one. Great version.

Great version. The harmonies are quite good here.

Big Railroad Blues

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the few songs Keith wakes up for during this show, sadly.

It's a shame that the soundboard of this show is littered with problems. It only includes the last instrumental break and Bobby's reprise of the final verse, but it's wholly worth it regardless. Jerry is playing with relish and Bobby goes absolutely batshit as he sings the finale.
Brown Eyed Women

Miami Arena

Jerry's broken voice adds so much to this one. Maybe it's just the show's overall reputation, but there's darkness even in this "BEW" (as opposed to the usual wistful melancholy that is the heart of the song).
Dark Star

Soldier Field

Indeed! This one could just as well be counted as a legit instrumental "Dark Star" as opposed to just a jam. At nearly eight minutes, it's a fleshed out meditation on the song's main theme. It's not just a tease, the song's melody is all there.
Terrapin Station

Soldier Field

Around 15 or 16 minutes in, Vince seems to jump in on the "Dark Star" teases.
