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

The outro is lovely, flowing and beautiful

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.

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.
