Surprisingly good. Nice rave-up at the end, and Jerry's fills throughout are genuinely great.

Spacey, atonal version. Shows where they were headed in 95 - a lot of interesting sounds.

Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Cool version that Jerry starts and the band jumps on while Bob works out some gear issues. Last one ever, first in years, and only electric version.

Very powerful vocals from Jerry. Beyond intense "I guess it doesn't matter anyway"

Last version. Not perfect, but especially soulful. There's a nice new video up on youtube and jerry's very animated.

God i love Donna. Phil sounds great too. People shit on him but that “long long time to be THEEEEEERE” is beautiful.
When I Paint My Masterpiece

Soldier Field

Pretty hot version with nice Jerry licks and harmonies and bob giving it his all. Shining moment of this first set for sure.

I listen to this one a lot. If there's a more deep and soulful version (and show, tbh) i don't wanna hear it.

Nassau Coliseum

This one needs some more love, fantastic outro with great Phil vocals, you can hear the crowd go crazy on any of the auds every time he chimes in on "across the lazy river". First one in 3 years and whole band really brings it

Super lovely. Weir's playing is tolerable and the vibes are immaculate overall
