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.

Your 90s matrixes always sound fantastic - would be super grateful if you got around to anything like that!

Pretty hot version. Jerry digs into the mid solo, leading Bob to eventually cut him off. This show is pretty much as good as it got in late 94 or 95.

Absolutely fantastic version. Searing solos from Jerry - I’d say this is 90% as good as 9/18.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

Hot version, band definitely into it. An unfortunate note on Jerry's playing in the late 80s - sometimes it could feel like he was playing the same runs over and over. They're very well played, but it's still the same solo over and over in china cat. Great "wish i was a headlight" in Rider
Comes A Time

Roanoke Civic Center

Probably one of the most under-the-radar shows in the band's history. Fantastic, strongly delivered version. Beautiful outro. Stunned no one talks about this version or this show
