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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This one is just okay, in my opinion. Nice jam at the end that is quite reminiscent of the buildup in 10/14/94, but it doesn't reach the same heights. I would say as far as summer 94 goes, 6/19 is the version. This one is competently played but no more.

Augusta Civic Center

Hey Professor: definitely an accurate assumption I'd say. Unfortunate that this happens across this site and we get top-tier versions languishing. Thankfully, this one's pretty well known at this point which is a blessing. head and shoulders above any other version.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Pretty mediocre verses and the drummers fuck up the peak bigtime. It's all redeemed by an excellent 6 minute outro jam.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Vince does some characteristic for the era overplaying but Jerry actually lets him take a couple solos and it actually elevates this version to a huge peak around 11 min. Interesting and different Eyes.

Are you kidding me? This version fucking rocks! Love jerry SCREAMING "just gotta poke around" before a ripping outro jam. Needs more love
