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.

With feeling. Jerry goes for it on the vocals.

Honestly one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. I saw someone comment on another version “this is one of the reasons I stopped seeing the dead” and I get it. I’ll take any Vince song over this. Jerry takes some ripping solos though, and the little out jam into terrapin is cool.

Sorry to say that no 94 DS gets my vote. This one and 3/16 are both unexploratory noodlefests. I will give Vince some credit - his sound is very reminiscent of Pigpen's 60s Vox organ. Really cool. This show overall is quite good, but they should have hung up DS after 3/20/92.

Sublime transition from Estimated to Terrapin. Love how Jerry plays with the classic Lady with a Fan riff out of Estimated. Very underrated show IMO

I'm not going to lie I straight up love Vince's "Roll away-ay-ay the dew" harmonies on all the 90s Franklin's. Come at me, haters
