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.

Turn On Your Love Light

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

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

Civic Center

Very strong version, fantastic jam with jerry reaching incredible peaks. Cassidy really reached new heights from 83-89.

Three Rivers Stadium

Super powerful version, very strong out solo, Jerry was really present and on it for this one. Shouldn’t be missed.
Pretty Peggy O

New Haven Coliseum

Always want to find versions that aren’t 77 to upvote, but man, may 77 really was the banner month for this tune. Aching and beautiful each and every version, and this ones no exception. Love how sweet and tender Jerry played the solos in may before his tone changed when he switched to wolf in the fall.
Standing On The Moon
June 14, 1994
Memorial Stadium

Pretty hot outro and Jerry doesn’t miss a lyric. Nice one.
She Belongs To Me

Richmond Coliseum

Jerry didn’t play a bad version of this song, but I’m pretty sure this one is the best. His voice is just aching and perfect.
