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.

Nice to hear Jerry use a clean tone during slipknot - sounds great with his tone in this period. Similar feeling to 9/22 at MSG earlier this fall - I don't think this version is quite as good but this slip is a couple mins longer than 9/22

Better than the one from the 22nd. Can't imagine being on that MSG run though and hearing 2 Ramble on Roses IN NEW YORK CITY 5 days apart...

Dane County Coliseum

Forgot to comment when I heard this one. A classic, well played dew. Not as wild as 6/18 but strongly played and cohesive. Solos might be better on this one, even, but Jerry's vocals are better on 6/18, as noted above

Check out the first set too DS! First duprees since 90 and its HOT. Great loser, masterpiece, let it grow as well - and the closer Baby Blue is my fav version
Uncle John's Band

Madison Square Garden

Very strong outro, this is a very kind show and extremely slept on due to the notoriety of the following night
