Jerry's mic craps out at the beginning and as per usual he mangles the words, but the solos are rippin'!

Gorgeous version, like most versions. Jerry sounds so sweet here.

Nearly 20 minutes...good jamming on the main theme before a very nice melt down later on. Not quite 12/16/94 but still very good.

Completely torched. Jerry hits his solo like they owe him a million a dollars.

This is not the first version post-coma, or even the first one of 1987. But there's something about this performance that puts definitive punctuation as to whether or not Jerry was truly back.

This needs to be at the top, I will absolutely put it up against 7/19/89 and 3/22/90. Just an absolutely ferocious version.

I still can't believe this and several other versions from this show are down as low as they are. This charges along with that 'new lease on life' energy Jerry had and doesn't let up.

I'm very surprised this one is as low as it is. Sung with great feeling, Clarence's sax is a surprisingly effective touch.

Wouldn't be a sax show without "Lovelight"!
