To Lay Me Down
this one stands out
16
Estimated Prophet
Really smooth version, despite some significant belly aching from Bobby mid song. Solid overall though
8
Eyes Of The World
This standout version is out on a Road Trips.
7
Brokedown Palace
Some missed lyrics but this is the version that does it for me. Jerry's solo on this hits perfectly
23
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April fools '88! Very fun and rocking Mississippi Half Step. Note the band jamming 'little bunny foo-foo' before they go into it
9
New Minglewood Blues
A smoking version on April Fools Day.
17
Jack Straw
very good later rendition

Let It Grow
the band is on

Near set-ender from Road Trips, Vol. 4, No. 2
5
Drums
Nice stuff going on here, check it out.
17
Ballad of a Thin Man
This one does it for me. Highlight of this first set.
5
Wharf Rat
Some of those stretched out vocals; jam is to the point, cutting through the rip tide
1
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Groovy, kicked back rendition. Jerry’s is ripping the vocals in this one
5
When Push Comes to Shove
The band takes their time and digs into this one more than usual. You can tell they're having a lot of fun.
2
Cumberland Blues
I think this version should be listened to in comparison to the one right before on 3/27/88. I prefer this one. Road Trips vs. Download Series
