Phil is pretty killer on this version.

This version glistens like ripples on the water. Beautiful outro solo.

It's the 1990s'. It's "Deal." Do the math.

Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

Listened to this today because I forgot how damn good this was. From end to end, this one absolutely kills with no fat or fatigue; every section is intricate, interesting and flows seamlessly from one section to another. Jerry is perfect throughout, Phil is a beast, and even Vince adds some tasteful coloring that's among his best contributions to the band. An absolute beast.

This one needs some serious upvoting. Even for a year that featured some outstanding FOTM's, this one is especially fantastic coming out of a strong for the era "Eyes." As mentioned, it's very chill and patient and has more in common with versions such as 5/21/77 or the Egypt '78 versions. The way they really work their way into the main riff with a mellow, beautiful intro, and it allows it build some serious density as Jerry goes off in the solos. Weir is also providing some fantastic work throughout. The segue into "Box" is perfect. What a pre-Drums: Samson -> Eyes -> Fire -> Box -> Terrapin.

This one is is surprisingly excellent. Great groove and far less rushed than other 1994 versions.

Just wanted to remind everyone that this is a monster version completely worthy of the monster number of votes it has.

Auditorium Theatre

This one may have usurped Rockpalast 1981 as my favorite post-EU72 version. Bobby's raging at the mic and him and Jerry are firing off delicious licks left and right. This one blows away Cornel.
