Jerry doesn’t miss a beat. Video shows him deeply into this version onstage and you can hear it in his vocals. This one can stand with the greatest.

Spacey and well played. Vince has some sick fills and Jerry plays very strongly. Better than 4/2/95

Very hot version, Jerry’s on fire in the solo and his vocals are perfect. This show is massively underrated vs much of the rest of this fall tour.

Great Vince version. Super hot. Follows the first west coast Attics. Jerry was really feeling it.

Glorious return of lovelight to regular rotation. Phil leads with the riff out of NFA. Can’t imagine what this was like

Legitimately fantastic. Flows right out if I want to tell you. Mid jam seems to never end and heads into the next dimension thanks to Jerry seriously showing up. Worth a listen, and i think David Gans would agree because he played this on dead hour.

Jerry really wants to go into comes a time during last few minutes in the meltdown but the band isn’t interested. Too bad!!!

Honestly can hold its own with any jammed out 80s/90s deal. Rollicking version. SPRING TOUR 94 WAS HOT

Seriously dank one, incredibly hot jam and perfect re entry, most definitely best of the year.

Weird speedy version. Jam doesn’t really go anywhere, especially disappointing for how long it is. 3/30 is definitely the stronger 94 version.
