So many roads has so many heady version, great box set. Good 90's version, powerful jamming here.

Good, for latter day versions. On a pretty bad night musically for the band--comparatively to other shows throughout their history-- this speedway is the one shining highlight. Jerrys guitar was on and in the zone during this version, and cemented a sort of belief that a comeback from Jerry would be possible, but impossible at the same time. This in my opinion, was the best version since the breakout in 91'

Always love the psychedelic western sandwiches the guys can come up with. Just speaks to the awesome creativity and not scared of shit attitude this band had. They did not give a damn if it wasn't being done elsewhere. Taking risks is the way to find what works and what doesn't work-- musically. This band certainly knew that, and therefore took the steps necessary to creating a musical situation where those risks were available for them to take. Country psychedelia is the perfect medium for a bunch of musicians occasionally on acid to play what ever suits them.

Awesome version, that finds a spot in the cosmic space, that every other one strives for. It not only finds the space, but expands on it and flips it into a visual masterpiece. This is one of my favorites.
