Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

At exactly 5:46-50...the notes are just so bright and pop and it happens all evening. That is when you know Jerry is on. Rare for 94, but happened this evening.

This is one of those setlists that looks ho-hum, but the playing this evening is the tightest of maybe any show from 92-95. Every version is one of the best of this era if not the best. The band is on and you can hear the crispness with every tune. I understand, you need to like this era, but I have always been able to find the good with all the eras.

This whole show needs more love. Top 3 show of 1994.

Definitely deserves more love. Maybe not Alpine 89, but has extended jams, tight, and super energetic.
