Man does this version have a good bounce to it. I would put this version up against any version from the 80's.

This version doesn't quit. Jerry's solo is relentless

Check out the really groovy pre-drums jam that comes out of this UJB.

Great swing to this version. Excellent Brent and Jerry solos. A gem of a show from an odd tour.

Has all the right dynamics in this version. This is a good one!

This version is cool, a lot different to the version that opened 9/2. This version is a lot looser and stretched out. Seamless segue into Dew at the end.

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

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.
