Probably my favorite '86 show and 2nd hottest song of the night behind killer Straw to end set 1

Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

Pretty standard for the era (77-78) but IMO it still crushes any version from the 80s

During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

Jerry's MIDI will take you to a safe place. Vinny can't be denied! I consider this song to be Bobby's best when it comes to rock n' roll jamming and he brings the familiar crunch of this era. WAH-wah-wah-wah-WAH!

If there were a SBD of the electric sets this show would be much better received. Vicious TMNS (listen to Ace during the build up!) but it doesn't stop there.... The setlist fills most of my needs and the band delivers!

Radio City Music Hall

So there isn't a SBD.... Get over it and listen to Jerry lead the band through a bouncy parade of explosions! Weir firing from a revolver of sound and the drummers undeniably contribute
