NFA as a Jerry tune? Yup, here it is! "But you drive me back -- huh!" Hell yes!

Overlooked GEM! Swift yet deeply felt. Jerry CRUSHES it.

I've always found this version very satisfying. I love latter-day Jerry's vocal stretches, like here with the "and no one's got the ti-HYME!!!" Every time I play this song I find myself trying to sing it that way... and usually failing.

This is a great verison, but I couldn't find it listed under "Cumberland Blues" -- I had to navigate to the show via "Day Job" to vote for it. It's a real shame this AWESOME site has these little glitches!

My personal favorite.
Pretty Peggy O

This is a great Peggy-O. But I think it's overlooked here because of a glitch. When I search for it under "Peggy-O," it's not there. I had to find my way to it by finding another song from 5/6/89, then selecting the SHOW -- which is a real pain in the ass. Anyway, it's a great one. Check it out!

I agree with all the comments here. This is a truly wrenching Wharf Rat. Don't miss the Brokedown Palace encore either. It seems that Jerry finally got his shit together post-Drums/Space. I posted a speed-corrected copy of this show on bt.etree.org. Check it out: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?torrentId=607237.
