This is truly gorgeous, love the stripped down sparse arrangement. Jerry is just singing so beautifully wonderful version.

This pairing on this night was when the bus came by for me. my first show and the magic displayed during this pairing turned that sober 17 year old kid into a life long dead head.

The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)

Shoreline Amphitheatre

One of three Dylan songs performed on this evening. A very wel executed 1987 show. Quinn is another gem. If listening to the Miller version it is listed as Cumberland (song 1 set 2 was actually the encore Cumberland was not played but Maggies farm was whomever labeled just listened to the the first couple notes and assumed it was cumberland when this got labeled as they sound so similar) and all set two songs are off by one.
