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!

Doesn't get better than this, folks. An absolute trip - Bob screaming like he hadnt since 1974 and raving about the aborigines. Fantastic mid solo too, several minutes long.

Should have a lot more votes. Lightning strikes the stage and knocks out the power briefly mutilple times, egging the band (especially Jerry and the drummers) to new heights. Great AUD

Very decent version. I enjoyed it but unfortunately I can't say it feels like much more than noodling is coming from Jerry in the jam. Spacey is great, but unfocused is not.

Trippy version, awesome soloing and strong vocals. 83 is full of weird little gems
