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.

It's okay, and worth a vote for the effort put in, but it's really hard to watch Jerry struggling with licks he could have played effortlessly several years before.

Jerry rallies for a VERY hot mid solo. Shredded, great peak. Surprising how random it could be where he showed up playing well in shows in this era.

Yeah, awesome pick GR. Definitely slower than some of the coked up 80s versions, which is a major plus, and jerry's soloing is quite focused.

Great jamming, Jerry turns up the funk and vince's keys sound awesome. Lots of underrated spring 91 shows, most of them featured just Vince on keys which gave the band some breathing room IMO

DS - One of the best Garcia moments ever. This whole east coast tour was unbelievably high energy, unreal that we have video
