I'm just glad I never broke Brent's heart. Anyway, great vocals, solos, and overall performance on this excellent Healy matrix. "Ah, what the hell!"

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Very fine post-Brent-era version with Bruce helping out on piano. The closing jam sounds like a segue into TOO, but leads into D/S.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Sandwiches Lovelight, but funky jamming in the outro. Bop bop

Like 6/22/93 Deer Creek, this well-sung and -performed version is a nice capper to a strong evening.

Vince teases Stagger Lee starting at 4:00 and continuing through Jerry's MIDI solo. A nice variation - has the band done this before?

Audible laughter from Jerry during his vocal in an otherwise standard performance. Wonder what was making him crack up - was Bobby making funny faces at him again? Did someone ride a go-kart across the stage?

Crowd cheers for Keith and Jerry after their solos, nice to hear on the AUD matrix. Great version, outstanding show.

Vince fans are people too :-)

Emotionally heavy, with the accompaniment trudging slowly but proudly up the great hill. And like cgarces said, Garcia delivers excellent vocals and a tear-jerking guitar solo.

Difficult song to play correctly, but the band does a great job here. Nice segue into Terrapin as well. Kind of a sneaky-great second set...
