This Bertha cooks. Definately deserves to be here. Jerry forgets the last verse, but the less Jerry sings, the more Jerry plays.

Not as good as the shrine, but has its amazing moments.

As heartfelt as the Europe versions. Worth a listen. Lots of epic stuff on DP 23.

Oh yeah...the transition from china doll>UJB is spot on.

Hidden gem here. This could be top 20 if anyone listened to this obscure show.

"Spanish lady come to me." Love this Spanish O1.
Standing On The Moon
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

Yes, the voice isn't perfect, but what does it for me...he reprises "be with u" not once but twice and maybe the ragged voice even add to it. Also, the final jam with reprises is quite long. Jer is great in the jam, but Bob adds some serious power riffs that really drive this version home, too.
Foolish Heart

Pyramid Arena

Beast almost 14 minute Foolish. This was best run of 1995.
