Riverport Amphitheatre

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

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

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"

Delta Center

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

Morning Dew

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

There's an audience vid on youtube where you get to see Jerry really giving this version his all. Teeters on the edge of collapse the whole time; ragged but right.
Feel Like A Stranger

The Spectrum

Stunned by this. Not comparable to 1984 but seriously good out jam at the end. Jerry's hitting all the right notes.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 28, 1992
Deer Creek Music Center

Love this version. Jerry adds a little extra to the Franklin vocals.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 10, 1980
Warfield Theater

Love how Jerry sounds like it's 1977 again when he hits that perfect little "touch of the BLOOO-hoooz" before the solo. Great version, Jerry blows it and goes into a brief solo too early before the full scarlet solo.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

This is my personal favorite. Incredibly soulful Jerry vocals and a gorgeous, simple solo that tugs at the heartstrings.
