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.

Playin' In The Band

Swing Auditorium

Great, spacey version. Does anyone else hear a bit of a Gloria theme in the last 30-45 seconds of the track as they transition into Wheel?

The outro and jam into playin should be much better known. Absolutely beautiful and captivating improvistation

Great version throughout the body of the song, but unbelievable out jam. Bruce and Jerry drive it at first in a beautiful major key theme and then Vince becomes extremely key in the development of the OO theme that enters. Bruce and Jerry were a lot more willing to entertain input from Vince on this tour than ever again from 90-92 and I think it made a big difference.

Brent on “test me test me why don’t you arrest me” is enough for an upvote on my end

Are you guys kidding me!!! One of the best of all time!!! Bruce singing along with Jerry in the first verse and Jerry's hot playing elevate this one. I know people don't love the double keys era but especially on this run they were LOCKED in.
