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.

Spanish Jam

Giants Stadium

Terrible show, everyone knows about the rough Wharf Rat>NFA but this is definitely the highlight - Jerry's got that octave pedal going and it's short but VERY weird and scary.

The Spectrum

Jerry looks really happy and honestly that's good enough for me. Fun version.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Desert Sky Pavilion

I do notice Jerry's guitar a little bit higher than usual, with a little bit more punch. This is a great version and Jerry nails every note of the slipknot riff both times.

Hartford Civic Center

I was listening to this high and it scared the shit out of me. Fantastic version, on par with any from the 60s imo. I like the Dick's Picks tracks because the "Spinach Jam" track starts about halfway through space and gives the jam a nice long time to build.

Love this one. Pretty hot, really feels like an old guy telling you a sailing story from his younger days. Love the Bolt tone.
