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

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

Love this version, even though they all suck (sorry!) - truly amazing energy at these MSG shows in 83. Cosmic

Cool version. Very mediocre verses and mid solo without the characteristic-for-the-era speedy playing that Jerry usually played there - but they more than make up for it in the outro. That's one of my favorite things about this band - if they fucked up a verse, or a song, or a show, or even a whole tour, they never failed to recognize that they'd let the audience down a little, and they'd always come back stronger. See: shitty summer tour 94 followed by amazing fall tour 94.

bcarter - I would kill to hear what they would have done to an estimated at this show too, but I think part of the magic is the sparseness (song-wise) of the second set. The meat of the second set is really only a couple songs, and yet they're so unbelievably well executed that there isn't a show around that can really compete with this one.

Cheers, darkstar. Couldn't agree more. You can find something different in each listen, and isn't that what it's all about? Give the second set from 3/21 a listen if you liked this. Hope to see you in that discussion!
