This, "Saint" and of course "Visions" remarkably solid for 1995.

Jerry lays it down nice and smooth. Bob's animated and Vince is even great here. Last great show.

Fun NYC version...9/20 is better, though.

Great version. The harmonies are quite good here.

This one gets some hate because everyone was expecting "Fire" after "Scarlet" and Bob kind of forces the band to go into "Bucket" instead. That said, this is a fast and furious version that deserves your attention.

Kickass version.

Only complaint is Healey goes overboard with the echo on Bob's voice.

This is a great and unique version. If there's any complaint I have, it's a little TOO heavy on Jerry, as Vince was really holding back (understandable given how early in his tenure it was), which rob it of some of the dynamics that make other versions so special. In the 1974-90 versions, I looked forward as much to Keith and Brent's contributions as I did Jerry's.

Agreed, although some of the 1990-1991 have a bit more of the urgency present in the studio version.
