Rousing version, Jerry and Brent on fire
Bertha

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Great version with an exceptional Jerry solo. Listen to him begin the second chorus
Bird Song
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Brilliant long jam, from crashing to quiet. Listen to Brent and Jerry.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

This version really creeps up on you. Phil and the drummers are locked in. Then you hear how into it Jerry is, and how well Bobby is singing. Then it's over.
All Along the Watchtower
Aug. 20, 1987
Park West Ski Resort

Jerry does something special in the middle of this. Worth a listen and laugh.
