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.

"Days" is fine if placed well, but imagine if Bobby saved "The Other One" for this night instead of 12th and Jerry followed it with either "Wharf Rat" or "Dew." Alas, not to be.

I feel like Bob did this purely out of spite towards Jerry as the pre-Drums had been all him except for PITB. Even if I don't care much for the "Scarlet -> Fire," that 5 pack is still pretty fucking massive and it was obvious the crowd was digging it...then Bobby shoots that momentum to hell.

Awesome performance.

Activity Center - University of Colorado

This one is played kind of fast and clunky. The best "Bird Song"'s are slow and stately, this one doesn't quite get there. Some good moments, though.

One of the best. Magisterial.
