This version is big ol' fun! Bobby's very enthusiastic on the backing vocals.

This isn't here because...? Totally hot, Jerry and Brent experiment with some interesting tones during the jam. Unique. From a flamethrower of a show.

Along with "Touch" and "Candyman," one of the big emotional highlights of Jerry's return.

Nice Phil / Jerry interplay into "Terrapin."

I said this above but I still don't see how 9/13/93 or 3/23/95 are ahead by so many votes.

Still the most underrated "FOTM" in the history of "FOTM"s.

I actually used to think is one of the few weak points in the show. Compared to some of the better 1991 versions (3/21, 6/7, 6/19, 6/25, 9/4 ) this one doesn't have anything too out of the ordinary nor does it climax the way I like my "FOTM"s do. But as a more subdued version in tribute to Graham, it works.

Vince's diction is often awful and trying to figure out what he's singing the first several times I heard it is a big part of why I hate it. The lyrics are also pretty embarrassing, all the more so when you realize Hunter wrote them. I wonder if he did it just to spite Vince, because Hunter obviously hadn't lost the plot when it came to writing for Jerry ("So Many Roads," "Days Between").
