Riverport Amphitheatre

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

The Other One

The Omni

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

Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie
March 28, 1984
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.

The Omni

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

Delta Center

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

Row Jimmy
June 21, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena

Great Ackerman/Miller aud that really puts you in the room. Last Row Jimmy, pretty damn beautiful and aching. It seemed like there was a lot the band and Jerry especially wanted to get out of this show. The Jimmy and Dew are probably its saving grace.
That Would Be Something
June 24, 1995
RFK Stadium

Great version here, slower than the others and jammy. Very enjoyable.
Morning Dew
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Exquisitely beautiful version. Not exceptionally unqiue mid solo or outro jam but definitely very strong. Jerry's voice was very fragile in 1980 and it sounds amazing here.
Aiko Aiko
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Amazing version. Back when Iko was Aiko and it was really special. Melts out of space and back into one of the best Dews of the 80s. Groovy slow stoned-feeling version
Bird Song
July 3, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Unreal version. Scary meltdown very reminiscent of the laguna seca Playin' from later that same month before a fantastic peak. There was magic every year!
