Fast but very neat and tight. Cool version from the best run of 1986.

Motherfucker out of "Cold Rain & Snow." Shit hot and rockin'. A bit sloppy but full of energy.

Vince is admittedly awful here, but Phil and Jer make up for it. Cool version.

Not a great show, Jerry still finding strength after the coma. This BRB, however, smokes.

Always the little song that could in any set it appeared in. This one rocks.

Give Vince credit - he's terrific here. Rockin' version.

Vinny's tone in the early shows is really great and reminds me of the 1960s' surf rock sound.

Jerry is also in pretty strong shape vocally. A little tired but clear and soulful.

The "Shakedown" from the 10th is a monster worth checking out!
