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.

Friend of the Devil
July 2, 1989
Sullivan Stadium

I think it's ironic that people rag on Vince for his "casio keyboard" sounds when Brent played what sounds like the world's worst violin solo during the first break here. Otherwise, awesome version.
Dire Wolf
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

Roses->Dire Wolf. One of the only times this combo got played. Both fine versions, not life-changing, but lovely together especially.
Let It Grow
June 27, 1984
Merriweather Post Pavilion

The mid solo is one of the most perfectly conceived I've ever heard.
China Doll
Oct. 6, 1984
Richmond Coliseum

Jerry's wrecked voice is beautiful and sensitive here. Intense solo. When his guitar comes in for the solo it's so heavy it makes you jump.
Black Peter
May 28, 1995
Portland Meadows

Impassioned vocals and kickass solo. Holds its ground with the rest of the Vince versions easily.
