Just a lovely version. Beautiful little mid solo and lovely synths and harmonies from Vince. These spring 94 shows are almost universally underrated.

Nicely jammed into from He's Gone, awesome Bobby, Jerry and Brent scat on the outro and high energy

HEADY outro jam with all members contributing. Great barroom keys from Vince and some speedy playing from Jer. Basically unknown show, great 1st set!

Jerry really winds the solo. Love it when he goes to wrap the solo up and then decides he's gonna take it around again. Beautiful one. Vince's sweet piano in the background sounds just lovely. RIP.

Wonder why Jerry broke this out when he was doing so poorly on this tour. Interesting, and rather competent version.

Fantastic Phil vocals, right on the money. Jerry’s solo is indeed probably the best conceived one he ever played on this tune. This whole show has such a beautiful happy summer feeling and it needs a lot more love.

Needs more love, another super stoned early 80s version with tons of Jerry growling. Most 90s versions can’t touch this one

Such a kind second set especially. Love this show and Phil sounds awesome.
