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.

Grendel - it’s heady because Jerry pulls out some major licks in the solo. Think archive commenters are right when they note this was an indoor venue and that Jerry was probably feeling the heat - literally - a little less.

Surprisingly good vocals. Fun version.

Jerry’s really into it. When I think of happy summer dead shows, i always think of this one. Such beautiful early summer energy and hot playing. Everyone seems to know this show is special, and I’m glad about that.

Really fucking hot, Jerry is playing excellently. Again bumping this first set as possibly the best of the year. More people need to hear this!!
