the FADED version! sick brent synths and groovy phil/drums/bobby behind Jerry's stoned-sounding vocals. Best one I ever heard.

Crazy this wasn't submitted yet. Awesome slam back out of space into the end jam. Vince plays his fucking heart out

Truly awesome version, for any year. Shows how spacey they were in 95, in a good way. The jam floats forever with beautiful spidery playing from Jer.

Strong version especially for the time. Jerry tears the mid solo to shreds! Definitely worth a listen.

Nice to hear Jerry use a clean tone during slipknot - sounds great with his tone in this period. Similar feeling to 9/22 at MSG earlier this fall - I don't think this version is quite as good but this slip is a couple mins longer than 9/22

Better than the one from the 22nd. Can't imagine being on that MSG run though and hearing 2 Ramble on Roses IN NEW YORK CITY 5 days apart...

Forgot to comment when I heard this one. A classic, well played dew. Not as wild as 6/18 but strongly played and cohesive. Solos might be better on this one, even, but Jerry's vocals are better on 6/18, as noted above

Check out the first set too DS! First duprees since 90 and its HOT. Great loser, masterpiece, let it grow as well - and the closer Baby Blue is my fav version

Very strong outro, this is a very kind show and extremely slept on due to the notoriety of the following night
