Just a lovely version. Beautiful little mid solo and lovely synths and harmonies from Vince. These spring 94 shows are almost universally underrated.

Nicely jammed into from He's Gone, awesome Bobby, Jerry and Brent scat on the outro and high energy

HEADY outro jam with all members contributing. Great barroom keys from Vince and some speedy playing from Jer. Basically unknown show, great 1st set!

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
