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.

They Love Each Other
Sept. 10, 1993
Richfield Coliseum

Jerry doesn't forget a lyric, his solos are fantastic - hes poppin strings with that new acoustic tone! Clearly very happy to be playing this (rare, at this point) tune. Vince gets some nice keys in. Both versions that Jerry played on Bolt in 93 (this one and 12/18) are very hot, but I think this one is better because Jerry’s voice is strong, especially compared to 12/18.
Uncle John's Band

Richfield Coliseum

Long and gooey, really great version and Jerry's acoustic tone is fantastic. The out jam just never stops. They really started taking UJB out to space again in 93. Other cool versions like this one include 12/8/93, 12/18/93, 2/27/94 (GOAT VERSION!!), 3/27/94, 10/5/94, 11/29/94, and 3/18/95.
Feel Like A Stranger

Philadelphia Civic Center

Extremely powerful, just like the rest of the show. Audience tapes really bring out the intensity and volume of Jerry's guitar on this one - it fills the room and shakes you around! DANK version

The Pyramid

GREAT version, inspired and strongly played. The only issue I have with hot 95 jams (and yes, there are some) is that you can clearly hear what Jerry wishes he could play, and is trying to play, but he just can't. Overall though - fantastic, fun, and powerful out jam.
Visions of Johanna

The Spectrum

Thanks for the kind words DS - there's a lot of wonderful music in the Vince years. This Visions of course is THE version. Fantastic show overall too, best Iko of all time and a great first set. If you like Visions, try 3/30/95 as well, and if you like this show, try 2/21, 4/1, 4/2, and 4/5!
