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.

Way To Go Home

Deer Creek Music Center

Was listening to this show today and this was the first time I didn't skip this song after Estimated. Honestly, Vince's voice is perfect for this kind of straight-up rock and roll song. Brent and Vince, I feel, shouldn't be portrayed as such disparate characters. The way Vince wrote songs that "didnt jibe" with the Dead's vibe, so did Brent! In fact, I'd hazard that this song was probably more fun to play than Far from Me or Easy to Love You, and is a better straight-up rock and roll song.

Honestly I love Vince on New Speedway in the 90s. His high harmonies really clicked and added some spookiness to the song IMO in a way that Brent might not have been able to

Lots of nice Jerry riffs here. Really heavy version. Should be higher
