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.

Cold Rain and Snow

Madison Square Garden

hot!!! Vince's harmonies work nicely on this one, and it's heavy all around.
Fire On The Mountain

Greek Theatre - University of California

Cool version! Can’t imagine how sick this must have been at the time. I actually enjoy the slower pace. This feels like a practice run for the totally sick cold rain>fire on 7/4/86.

Awesome show and awesome version. Love Vince’s barroom style keys.

Sports Arena

Worth a listen for the interesting theme Jerry plays with throughout the final solo. Cool version.

Fantastic version. Jerry's second solo is especially hot, with some crazy runs. As to the point made above, another version of Jackaroe with three solos that bears mention is 10-12-84 - a beast as well!
