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

Super fun version from an incredibly hot and solid 94 show. Vince sounds awesome on the barroom style piano solo

Smokin version, agree with above comments that Brent’s tinkly keys actually sound fantastic here. Jerry’s ripped up vox are fun too.

The Spectrum

Great one. Strong vocals and great entry entry into the big last solo. Not top 10 or anything but very solid.

Jerry’s really into it. Vocals are HEAVY. Great solo too. There isn’t a bad version of this one.

Honestly pretty darn hot especially for summer tour 94. This is just a special show. Fun stuff and you can tell Jerry was really trying to pull his weight.
