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!

Interplay between Bob & Keith is interesting

Eternity

The Pyramid

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!

Another winner for this show to pair with the Stella Blue later on in the second set. Jerry hollerin', and hollerin' "fire, fire on the moun-ountain" over and over nearly bring a tear to my eye to this day.

Another reason this is my favorite '94 show, this Scarelet>Fire is top notch

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
