I've always been a sucker for straight trippy ass shit, whether it's vocal or instrumental. This one on the vocal level

Memorial Stadium

As with many shows in the 90's seeing a completely good show was rare but occasionally that one single song made up for the mediocreness. This is one!

The best Eternity out there. I've always been a fan of the audience source due to the fact that it has a good live sound and feel. GO JERRY!

nothing was wrong. Jerry never missed a step. As time goes on the sadder I get going back and listening to these older shows. For some reason it's much more apparent now than then. Whatever the case, this is not the best Wrat by far, but one I've enjoyed many times over the years.

And of course the sound of Lightning Bolt (?). Yeah yeah, good stuff. Unfortunately no Bobby hollerin'"We Are On Our Own".

Terrapin Station

Hampton Coliseum

First Terrapin since "his" return! An animated Jerry and cracked out Bobby make this version one of the best ever. There is some serious rock and fuckin' roll around the 9:00+ mark. The crowd goes NUTS! Still gives me shivers! Watch the video
