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.

Terrapin Station

Hampton Coliseum

A little messy in the outro but VERY hot. Jerry delivers the vocals with beauty and passion and his playing is top notch. Hard to find a bad 84 show.
Touch of Grey

Madison Square Garden

Always liked this one. Fantastic tone and well played by all. Nice transition into what is IMO the best 90s GSET.

Deer Creek Music Center

Such a classic. Bruce taking vocals is awesome and him and Jerry work together to rip up the end solo. Summer 91 was so hot!!

Honesty never thought Jerry sounded too bad singing this one. Awesome solos and nice to have a good color video from 78.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Wish i could upvote this on the strength of the fire alone. Scarlet is definitely a throwaway but Jerry pulls all sorts of tricks out of his bag (not to mention a REALLY strong, far better than 10/14/94, first solo where he just jams hard with no special effects). Hot stuff, this whole Seattle run is great.
