MSG

Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Ridiculously thunderous! Between powerful He’s Gone and Black Peter, great segues throughout.

Stellar Stella. Lush and powerful and gorgeous. Phil drops bombs as Jerry does his thing and the band is just fantastic.

Jahrhunderthalle

Oh yeah. Totally forgot to mention. This might be the greatest Lovelight ever. Just another example of how Jerry Garcia was the greatest musician who ever walked the Earth.
