The only recording available, it starts in the middle of the instrumental break.

Charlotte Coliseum

A very strange opening - it sounds like Jerry doesn't want to play it.

Only part of the intro survives, but what's there sounds good.

Wow - Jerry reaches a really high peak half way through. Worth a listen from a solid show.
Picasso Moon

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Bruce and Phil shine throughout. Everybody jumps in for the final instrumental break, showing the potential for an all-out jam fest.

Zoo Amphitheater

Bob's vocals are hot, Jerry's guitar tight. Phil thumps along with a driving beat. Lots of fun in less than 3 minutes.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Brent is turned up really loud and his performance is lackluster. It mars the song.
Mexicali Blues
July 26, 1987
Anaheim Stadium

I like this instrumental break, as Jerry plays slow and lazy. It makes this one stand out in its own way.
