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!

Giants Stadium

Shocking. Jerry doesn't have dexterity like he used to but there's about 3 different interesting peaks. Indeed, very exploratory version.

I don't like pre-1980 Deals because they aren't as exploratory and only have one solo - but what a nicely conceived solo it is here! Long, hot, and with lots of twists and turns. Torn to shreds. The piercing wolf tone is great here.

Madison Square Garden

Very scary and spacey version. I woulda been freaked had I been at this show. They really opened up a lot of tunes in 94 and OO benefited for sure

Not transcendent but EXCELLENT. Great strong playing and vocals. Lots of good 93 versions of truckin, but this one is better than most

The Palace

Revival versions of this song were probably better than the ones from '70. Awesome vocals from jer on the outro, he's SCREAMIN. Heady, solid version
