Jerry doesn’t miss a beat. Video shows him deeply into this version onstage and you can hear it in his vocals. This one can stand with the greatest.

Spacey and well played. Vince has some sick fills and Jerry plays very strongly. Better than 4/2/95

Very hot version, Jerry’s on fire in the solo and his vocals are perfect. This show is massively underrated vs much of the rest of this fall tour.

Great Vince version. Super hot. Follows the first west coast Attics. Jerry was really feeling it.

Glorious return of lovelight to regular rotation. Phil leads with the riff out of NFA. Can’t imagine what this was like

God i love Donna. Phil sounds great too. People shit on him but that “long long time to be THEEEEEERE” is beautiful.

Pretty hot version with nice Jerry licks and harmonies and bob giving it his all. Shining moment of this first set for sure.

I listen to this one a lot. If there's a more deep and soulful version (and show, tbh) i don't wanna hear it.

This one needs some more love, fantastic outro with great Phil vocals, you can hear the crowd go crazy on any of the auds every time he chimes in on "across the lazy river". First one in 3 years and whole band really brings it

Super lovely. Weir's playing is tolerable and the vibes are immaculate overall
