Jerry soars, Bobby pleads, and the band hits all the stops as if they've practiced it!

Crank it up, but BE WARNED...some recordings of this have some loud static right as they're in the middle of their closing jam...I was driving along, blasting this one day, and it scared the beejeebus out of me! Still a great version, and well worth the listen though!

Even tuning is special with Bruce messin' around on keys...by the time Deal kicks off, it's one big barrelhouse stomp...

As said above - this entire show is sad, powerful and moving. It's a beautiful tribute to Bill Graham, appropriately on Halloween night.

Sorry...I meant to input 3/23/87...I can't vouch for 3/3/87 either way, but I'll give it a listen soon.

The climax is a "wrong" note that Jer holds and trills until it's beautifully perfect.
