Riverport Amphitheatre

Surprisingly good. Nice rave-up at the end, and Jerry's fills throughout are genuinely great.

The Omni

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"

Delta Center

Last version. Not perfect, but especially soulful. There's a nice new video up on youtube and jerry's very animated.

Bird Song
June 8, 1993
The Palace

Very hot version. Lots of shredding and a big peak, great Jerry vocals on the outro. Good call cgarces. Nice to have someone else who's really into the vince era. Summer 93 doesn't get a lot of credit, and to be fair there's a lot of "just okay" songs every show. But you just gotta poke around...
Wharf Rat
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Truly classic version. It's just picture-perfect. No note out of place. It's not as exciting as 6/20/83, and it doesn't have the same ethereal feeling as the pre-hiatus versions do, but I've never heard a version more perfectly executed.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Never heard Jerry reach more on the vocals. He nails it. Great version
Aiko Aiko

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Jerry and Brent screaming lyrics, drummers locked in, whats not to like! extremely groovy and stoned version
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

The ridiculous fast versions of 85-86 are justly maligned, but this one is nearly as speedy but yet far more controlled, dynamic, and interesting. Great version.
