Solid (rare) second set BEW. Jam picks up the energy but mellow and concise throughout.

The ending is killer. Chills the spine

Jerry really gets into the groove at the end of the first set of this show. This Might as Well and Cassidy before it are great!

Rather solid version for '94. I always tear up at hearing '94-'95 Jerry, but his voice and playing aren't bad here.

Listening to this on the new vinyl re-release and my mind is blown. Certifiably heady

Hits the spot. Nothing crazy by any means but just beautiful and nice. Has something of a Bird Song vibe close to the end
