Desolation Row
Bob's signing/ inflections make this a unique one (when you asked how I was doing,Hah!, was that some kind of joke?!)
2
Hey Pocky Way
Brent blows a few lyrics early on, but he and Jerry more than make up for it in this hometown performance (makes no difference who or where you are)

Tennessee Jed
Incredible late 80's version. First listen to this show, holy crap it's hot!
1
Little Red Rooster
Bobby seems to be so on this night. Everybody seems to be taking his lead so far.
3
Drums -> Space
Dragon dance during drumz
3
Box of Rain
Very nice way to end the set Box of Rain->Don't Ease. Phil is on top of his game truly an excellent version.
2
Estimated Prophet
Notable because of what Bobby and Jerry play at the end of the jam. Fast forward to it if you need to.

Black Peter
Has a 70's-vibe in the midst of a solid, late-80's show. Fun stuff.

Cumberland Blues
Hot little number & Thanks Charlie Miller
