Brother Esau

Sweet sweet ride into Scarlet!

Bertha
Love this Bertha in the ballad slot. Kick ass Bertha!

Sugar Magnolia
Definately the highlight of this show is the Bertha>Sugar Mag to close. They rip this one.

Dear Mr. Fantasy
Brent's voice.

All Along the Watchtower
Jer's clearly stoked here backing Bobby D.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Dylan's into this one - fine delivery.
3
Touch of Grey
Peppy upbeat version with Dylan on acoustic and it appears backing vocals on the video but you can not hear him in the mix. Fun version.
6
Friend of the Devil
The only thing more mind-blowing than this version is the fact that no one has nominated it yet.
4
Scarlet Begonias
View from the Vault IV. A fantastic standalone "Scarlet" coming out of a hot "Hell in a Bucket."

Uncle John's Band
jerry plays like an angel

I Need A Miracle
An absolute barnburner from what I consider to be the Dead’s most underrated year. ‘87 RULES! Jumps into Bertha quickly
