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.

Great version. Jerry reaches on the vocals and playing isn't too shabby. Underrated show from a well-loved tour

The outro jam is extremely hot with some great shredding - shocking to hear Jerry play this well so late in the game. Goes to show, huh - I'm always surprised when I hear another great version from the spring 95 tour, but Jerry was decently on and the band was playing more cohesively than ever before. Tons of gems from Feb through May 95.

Better than 3/18 by a big margin, and much more intense. Jerry's vocals are perfect. Not sure how this flew under the radar.

Great to hear Phil singing here. He sounds a lot like he did singing on the vince-era versions, and it's awesome

Fillmore East

Truly unbelievable. Feels like voices from another world. I feel that most electric BPs are not so good because of weak outro execution and because it was overplayed. I'd rather listen to this one than almost any version besides 4/14/78
