It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Jan. 29, 1987
San Francisco Civic Auditorium

The capper to a rather sad show Otis passed earlier in the day and Bobby is a mess. This melancholy ballad fits the mood and Jerry brings the passion.

Love the tambourine sound in the beginning and love Jerry throwing in a few extra rips during some of his parts. Bob goes full rock star at one point.

This one musically is fantastic. It’s played so well. It’s a shame the lyrics aren’t as strong. Particularly weir who seems to be signing too loud

Well sung by Jerry. One Minor flub but what’s sung is clean and crisp. Playing is nice engaging opener played well.

Somehow missed this one all these years. Always a welcome addition to a set list.

Drums

Strand Lyceum

I was referring to the dark star drums. I’m well aware of the fact that 1972 is just Billy. I prefer the band with just one drummer. I admit it was a poor choice of words.

Cleveland Public Auditorium

One vocal flub towards the end almost derails the song but Jerry recovers than gives a more vigorous workout to the exit jam of the song to make up for his miscue.

Great swing. Nice organ work from Brent. Cool as an opener. Sets a nice laid back vibe.

The Centrum

Fun. Probably the most phish like thing they do. This one is pretty well done and not as sloppy as some. Mostly just Brent and Phil.

Rose Palace

One of the few versions actually worth seeking out. Fantastic before they often played it on autopilot.
