Part of a rare double encore, this version has great energy and bounce. The Brokedown to follow is nice as well. Check out the Oade Brothers AUD.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Really cool pre-drums jam in this version. Almost sounds like they are about to go into I Know You Rider.

The Scope

It's a fine version and all but the cool little Jerry noodle just before Drums is the real reason to seek this version out.

I'd play this version at a Grateful Dead dance party.

Ventura County Fairgrounds

As nice of a Dew as you are going to hear from the late 80's. The single sour note it manages to end on does hurt it from being on the top of '87 Dews. Bummer.

Jerry forces the feedback to work for him. This results in a really cool guitar solo.

Thanks for saying it canuckbot. I was feeling like I was the only one being totally underwhelmed by this version.

Comes crashing down to some delicate Jerry licks then drifts sweetly to an awesome Terrapin.
