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.

Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie

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.

Vince's keys are great here. Jerry sounds tired.

Madison Square Garden

The teases in the second half of space really add to the mystique of this version

Vince's contributions to the outro jam are excellent. Very electronic and totally scary. My favorite stuff I've heard from him pre-1993.
Eyes Of The World

Sullivan Stadium

This is a great version. Definitely not fast, though. Slower than most of the versions pre 3/25/90, when they slowed it down bigtime.
