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!

Great version. Jerry reaches on the vocals and playing isn't too shabby. Underrated show from a well-loved tour

The outro jam is extremely hot with some great shredding - shocking to hear Jerry play this well so late in the game. Goes to show, huh - I'm always surprised when I hear another great version from the spring 95 tour, but Jerry was decently on and the band was playing more cohesively than ever before. Tons of gems from Feb through May 95.

Better than 3/18 by a big margin, and much more intense. Jerry's vocals are perfect. Not sure how this flew under the radar.

Great to hear Phil singing here. He sounds a lot like he did singing on the vince-era versions, and it's awesome

Truly unbelievable. Feels like voices from another world. I feel that most electric BPs are not so good because of weak outro execution and because it was overplayed. I'd rather listen to this one than almost any version besides 4/14/78
