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

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!

Very good performance here
Victim Or The Crime
June 27, 1995
The Palace

Unintentional, very psychedelic stuff within. The transition between Foolish Heart and Victim is off the charts strange. It's really too bad the rest of the show is a throw away.

Richfield Coliseum

While it's very good, and I do mean VERY good, I'm still attached to the 5/26/95. Jer and his "stella bloo-ooo-OOO" on and on brings us to the edge of tears.
Playin' In The Band

Deer Creek Music Center

This is by far my favorite version from the 80's and beyond. Dripping you say? Plenty!

Yet another 90's classic version. Gets kinda weird...
