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.

Super fun version from an incredibly hot and solid 94 show. Vince sounds awesome on the barroom style piano solo

Smokin version, agree with above comments that Brent’s tinkly keys actually sound fantastic here. Jerry’s ripped up vox are fun too.

Great one. Strong vocals and great entry entry into the big last solo. Not top 10 or anything but very solid.

Jerry’s really into it. Vocals are HEAVY. Great solo too. There isn’t a bad version of this one.

Honestly pretty darn hot especially for summer tour 94. This is just a special show. Fun stuff and you can tell Jerry was really trying to pull his weight.
