Riverport Amphitheatre

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.

Smokestack>Spoonful>Smokestack. Crazy stuff, Bob sounds absolutely terrifying.

Great version, and super strange to hear it before drums. Jerry's shredded vocals are always great on 83-84 Rats

Jerry's voice is shot but playing is gold - par for the course in fall 84.

Sloppy but so fun - an AUD captures the energy best. Thinking about how crazy this must have been at the time...
Jack Straw

Richmond Coliseum

Shocked this wasn't here earlier - classic shreddy 85 version. Not the best, but certainly good, and is great as part of a BEW-Jack Straw 1-2 punch.
