Jerry doesn’t miss a beat. Video shows him deeply into this version onstage and you can hear it in his vocals. This one can stand with the greatest.

Spacey and well played. Vince has some sick fills and Jerry plays very strongly. Better than 4/2/95

Very hot version, Jerry’s on fire in the solo and his vocals are perfect. This show is massively underrated vs much of the rest of this fall tour.

Great Vince version. Super hot. Follows the first west coast Attics. Jerry was really feeling it.

Glorious return of lovelight to regular rotation. Phil leads with the riff out of NFA. Can’t imagine what this was like

Jerry really winds the solo. Love it when he goes to wrap the solo up and then decides he's gonna take it around again. Beautiful one. Vince's sweet piano in the background sounds just lovely. RIP.

Wonder why Jerry broke this out when he was doing so poorly on this tour. Interesting, and rather competent version.

Fantastic Phil vocals, right on the money. Jerry’s solo is indeed probably the best conceived one he ever played on this tune. This whole show has such a beautiful happy summer feeling and it needs a lot more love.

Needs more love, another super stoned early 80s version with tons of Jerry growling. Most 90s versions can’t touch this one

Such a kind second set especially. Love this show and Phil sounds awesome.
