Bright and clear Jerry leads early, then Bobby and Vince dominate the second jam. Smooth.

Jerry's front and center on the build-up; Great climax.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This is an outstanding version with Phil way out front and the whole band tight and clicking. Should be ranked higher.
Morning Dew
March 24, 1986
The Spectrum

Given the era and Jerry's health at the time, this is extremely powerful and passionate. Should be rated higher-- Video w/SBD audio available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZGhufPOCrA

Video confirms they were feeling it. Lots of energy from Jerry.

Really tight and picks up well in the end. Great video of this show is available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RfkJhv-53M&t=77s
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Simply stunning. Not sure why I never stumbled over this gem before. The solo comes out of nowhere on a night when nothing else played is in the same ballpark.
