Great version, great show. Smokin' guitar work and a tight groove all around.

Barges in like a battering ram out of the best ever "Alabama Getaway" and just rips from end to end.

I normally hate this song, but tonight, it kicks off this hot show like a powderkeg. Jerry shreds like no tomorrow. Best show Summer '94.

Sweltering hot version. Great keys from Brent. Raunchy.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The Spectrum

Not sure why this one is so high. It's a solid version, but it's not mind blowingly creaitive or unique. A reliably workman like version.
Dark Star

The Spectrum

For one of the 5 minute "Dark Star"'s that became the norm after 1992, this one is very enjoyable for what's there. Spacey, creepy version. The pre-Drums set at this show is pretty amazing.
Big Railroad Blues

West High Auditorium

Should be way higher. This version destroys.
Playin' In The Band

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"Playin'" was not performed at this show, it was played on the 28th.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

SF Civic

This one is truly a spectacular version. The end of "Fire" is like no other, dirty and emotional.
