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.

One of the heaviest Dead moments ever. Stunning version, Jerry's vocals are as strong as you've ever heard em

Solid version, and very interesting fuzzed out tone from Jerry in the end solo. Brent's doing some weird shit too. rather unknown and hot show
Uncle John's Band

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Ok come on folks even if just for the stunning first UJB this deserves more votes. Absolutely torn to bits in the outro and (very smooth) transition to playin.

Jerry screaming lyrics! hot hot hot version
The Music Never Stopped

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Super tight. Perfect re-entry from spaciness into the end jam. Jerry is on FIRE, Bob right along with him. Everyone always talks about the Wharf Rat>Sugar Mag and for good reason, but now that there's a very good AUD out there, no reason to not enjoy the whole show.
