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.

Pretty Peggy O
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

The best years for PeggyO were 74-77 and 94. Not a bad PeggyO in any of these years. This one is nice and sweet.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 8, 1993
Sports Arena

I think Vince really helped the band lay back a little bit after the double-whammy of Brent then Bruce who both meant that there was never any space in the band's sound. I notice a lot of jams in 93-95 going into very spacey spots, and I think Vince gets a lot of credit for knowing when to be a leading instrument vs. when to add color in jams, versus Brent and Bruce, who were either a fire-hose of notes, or not playing at all (and Brent was NEVER not playing).

Copps Coliseum

Super hot. As groovy and funky as they come. Jerry finds a fantastic riff around 9:30 and runs with it.

Richmond Coliseum

Mid solo is crazy, and ending has some serious shred too. Fantastic version.

Incredible version. Jerry takes the solo around an extra time.
