Great version, great show. Smokin' guitar work and a tight groove all around.

Barges in like a battering ram out of the best ever "Alabama Getaway" and just rips from end to end.

I normally hate this song, but tonight, it kicks off this hot show like a powderkeg. Jerry shreds like no tomorrow. Best show Summer '94.

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.
