The solo isn't quite perfect, but there's a lot of emotion in Jerry's playing.

Post-coma comeback show, Jerry plays hard and fast.

Terrific version.
Fire On The Mountain

The Spectrum

Jerry's in shit voice for this one, but the playing is undeniably hot.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Worcester Centrum

Deserves to be ranked in the same universe as 10/14. Very different but equally strong and creative.

Top 5 version for me. Not a wasted moment.
Candyman
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

This "Candyman" is damn fine. Perfect combination of logistics, feel, and full band effort. Really strong version that's not 1995 quality at all. These two shows are the bee's knees for the year along with 2/21.
