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

Bird Song

The Palace

Very hot version. Lots of shredding and a big peak, great Jerry vocals on the outro. Good call cgarces. Nice to have someone else who's really into the vince era. Summer 93 doesn't get a lot of credit, and to be fair there's a lot of "just okay" songs every show. But you just gotta poke around...

Boston Garden

Truly classic version. It's just picture-perfect. No note out of place. It's not as exciting as 6/20/83, and it doesn't have the same ethereal feeling as the pre-hiatus versions do, but I've never heard a version more perfectly executed.
Dupree's Diamond Blues

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Never heard Jerry reach more on the vocals. He nails it. Great version

Jerry and Brent screaming lyrics, drummers locked in, whats not to like! extremely groovy and stoned version
Eyes Of The World

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

The ridiculous fast versions of 85-86 are justly maligned, but this one is nearly as speedy but yet far more controlled, dynamic, and interesting. Great version.
