Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

Maybe the best 94 show I have heard. Great night for Jerry and the gang, he didn’t need them to cover for him at all, he holds his own and then some. Jack Straw blisters out of the gate and they keep it up. UJB is as good as it gets post 70s.

Bobby sounds great and Jerry rips! Top notch.

Epic bust out for sure, but musically, this is way too high.

Wow, strong and fast! One of the best I have heard. This whole show will get more attention now that it is an official release.

Fantastic Eyes!! I lost myself into the drums for a while. It felt like being in a drum circle. Jerry has a couple nice sections as does Brent, but this is really about the drums. Only “complaint” if any is that Phil was low in the mix. Maybe this will be fixed on the new Dave’s Pick!
