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

HEADY outro jam with all members contributing. Great barroom keys from Vince and some speedy playing from Jer. Basically unknown show, great 1st set!

Beautiful rendition of Handsome Cabin Boy/Two Soldiers lasting over 3 minutes in the middle

It's okay, and worth a vote for the effort put in, but it's really hard to watch Jerry struggling with licks he could have played effortlessly several years before.

Jerry rallies for a VERY hot mid solo. Shredded, great peak. Surprising how random it could be where he showed up playing well in shows in this era.

Yeah, awesome pick GR. Definitely slower than some of the coked up 80s versions, which is a major plus, and jerry's soloing is quite focused.

Great jamming, Jerry turns up the funk and vince's keys sound awesome. Lots of underrated spring 91 shows, most of them featured just Vince on keys which gave the band some breathing room IMO

DS - One of the best Garcia moments ever. This whole east coast tour was unbelievably high energy, unreal that we have video
