Not as strong as later versions with Vince but Jerry takes a hot solo.

Vince's first FOTD is excellent. He sits back and adds some nice, subtle fills while Jerry's sharp, articulate riffs take center stage.

If we can post JGB performances, I feel compelled to post this motherfucker of a TLEO.

Vince's first at his second ever show. One of the best of the 1990s'.

Jerry's solo is really good. Sharp tone and strong playing. Phil is also on fire.

What was with the Steely Dan ripoffs (this, Way to Go Home, Samba in the Rain)?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

"Scarlet" is a throwaway. On "Fire," you can tell Jerry is lucid, but in a 'I'm trying my damndest to find the X factor' way, without ever actually reaching it. The drummers carry this one.

Choice version. Really lovely all around.

Sounds like they're gonna go into "Crazy Fingers" at the end.
