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.

Terrapin Station
April 14, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

A little messy in the outro but VERY hot. Jerry delivers the vocals with beauty and passion and his playing is top notch. Hard to find a bad 84 show.
Touch of Grey
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Always liked this one. Fantastic tone and well played by all. Nice transition into what is IMO the best 90s GSET.
Jack Straw

Deer Creek Music Center

Such a classic. Bruce taking vocals is awesome and him and Jerry work together to rip up the end solo. Summer 91 was so hot!!

Capitol Theatre

Honesty never thought Jerry sounded too bad singing this one. Awesome solos and nice to have a good color video from 78.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Wish i could upvote this on the strength of the fire alone. Scarlet is definitely a throwaway but Jerry pulls all sorts of tricks out of his bag (not to mention a REALLY strong, far better than 10/14/94, first solo where he just jams hard with no special effects). Hot stuff, this whole Seattle run is great.
