All Along the Watchtower
A ripping watchtower, 1987 has some hot watchtowers.
5
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Phil teases whole lotta love by Zeppelin then they launch into a funky China cat
7
Big Boss Man
Cool unexpected opener, hot unheralded 1987 show
3
Ship of Fools
Wow Jerry gives every single word a little extra attention, dialed in a very emotional reading. Brent is fantastic on this version. A classic take.
2
Truckin'
Hot Truckin->Smokestack lightning combination
4
Drums -> Space
Drums builds into a frenzy that seamlessly transitions into an upbeat Space. The transition into spacier Space keeps the pace up

Cassidy
Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

Dire Wolf
Solid version in Utah

Loser
Builds up well, don't forget about '87

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Plenty of energy and nice crowd response, "That's right!"

Stella Blue
Perfectly chilling towards the end of a brilliant show
