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.

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.

This needs more attention. A very well played version, and the only one with lyrics post 85. Jerry's digital preamp gave him a very "fat" tone from dec 92 through summer tour 93 and it really works here. Seriously underrated and must have been unbelievable hearing this live.

Absolutely fantastic playing and singing here. Jerry's all over the mid solo and the outro - the phrase he plays with in the beginning of the outro is LOVELY. Highly recommend this one - the Deer Creek run in 94 was not so bad, all things considered.

I'd like to take back my previous comment -- upon a re-listen I've found that Jerry's playing is strong, especially in the mid solo and in the second half of the outro. He's just a little quiet. Overall very strong version for this late in the game. For competitors see 7/19/94, 4/2/95, 5/29/95

Really cool jam on the TWBS theme afterwards
