"Eyes" was a song that really suffered towards the end, but this one is strong with a good groove.

Very strong version from the last truly great set of shows the band ever did. Jerry's on here.

Great version. Brent's 'we might get a little wet..." ad lib is perfect.

Coming out of a jammed out "Corrina." Some interesting stuff throughout. This show is just dynamite.

cgarces, would love to get your opinion on this one as well as 5/31/92. I know you are the biggest champion of 3/27/94 (and I agree that it's a Top 5 all timer), but I think these two are spectacular in their own right.

Always thought this version was a bit rushed (as I did "Jack Straw" and "Ramble On Rose").

Very fun, peppy latter day "Lovelight."

Jerry with that chicken grease funk during the jam....cool stuff. Generally speaking, I'm coming around to "Corrina." It's not a masterpiece, but it has a good groove and overall it's a good, if not great song. Compared to "Wave the Wind" or Vince's schlock, it's a damn-near masterpiece. It at least sounded unique enough to give the band credit for trying something new.
