The Fall '95 tour was neatly bisected by the Halloween show at the Rosemont Horizon, with eight days off for the band before resuming the tour with a three-night stand at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. While the Fox Theater run was special and fondly remembered, producing some great jams and crispy AUDs, the full shows don't give me as much enjoyment as a culled playlist of highlights from all three nights. 11/12 Gainesville, on the other hand, is a stronger show from start to finish, with the band building on their reputation after the exceptional shows they played in that part of the Sunshine State during 1993 and 1994.

If you're downloading, I highly recommend @doctordoak's alternate AUD (unknown lineage) for this show in either mp3 or FLAC - the recording is so clean and well-balanced, one might believe it was actually a soundboard! The reviews by @westbrook and @miguelito cover the highlights; again, my mind is stuttering at how this show's rating could be so inferior to the Fox Theater shows. Taste That Surrounds is one of the better versions from this tour, If I Could is always a nice breather, and the SOAMelt brings the heavy psychedelic head space of Fall '95. Since the resurrection of The Curtain With and its prevalence in 3.0, there are some fans who may not know that performances of the truncated arrangement would often jump directly into Tweezer - I love those segues and I really enjoy this jam with Trey's riff that sounds like a precursor to Undermind, setting the table for the Greatest Stash Ever (IMO) two nights later. And while the penultimate Possum might not suit everyone's appetite, the segue into Tweezer Reprise ends the show on a lightning bolt of energy. If you're playing the band in chess, don't get yourself in a "horrible mess"!
