Surprisingly good. Nice rave-up at the end, and Jerry's fills throughout are genuinely great.

Spacey, atonal version. Shows where they were headed in 95 - a lot of interesting sounds.

Cool version that Jerry starts and the band jumps on while Bob works out some gear issues. Last one ever, first in years, and only electric version.

Very powerful vocals from Jerry. Beyond intense "I guess it doesn't matter anyway"

Last version. Not perfect, but especially soulful. There's a nice new video up on youtube and jerry's very animated.

Blown away by how incredible the mid solo is. Yes, the final jam is unbelievable, we all know that, but the middle solo is just as perfectly executed. The fast runs Jerry plays are beautiful and intense.

Totally curious, where else do you hear Rider in songs from this run? A lot of people have told me it's evident in the Scarlet>Fire transition from 10/14, but I don't really hear it.

There's a weird segment around 4 mins in where Jerry's comping a bass line and I kind of really like it. Good if spacey selection.

Weird hearing Phil sing the old "in a circle" lyrics. Great fucking show

Guitar playing here is head and shoulders above the vaunted 3/18 Spectrum version. I think this one is stronger all around.
