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.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Vince definitely added a lot in second sets by late 93. Great, ambient, jazzy tones here.
Bird Song
Aug. 6, 1989
Cal Expo

Nice strumming jam to cap this version off. I'd be willing to bet every bird song from 1989 is great.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Cumberland County Civic Center

Highly underrated. Intense shredding here folks
Foolish Heart
March 19, 1990
Civic Center

Great version, and very pretty solos, but not transcendent, and definitely shouldn't be ranked so high. There are several hotter versions from 1990 alone - 9/18 (outro!) and 12/28 (mid solo!) come to mind.

Riverport Amphitheatre

Jerry reaches in the outro. Great vocals.
