This one is hot. Jerry gets an Allman brothers slide-type feel at the end of the first Lovelight. Very cool

Outro jam on this is everything. Broody, melodic psychedelic soup

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.
