Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

All Along the Watchtower
Aug. 20, 1987
Park West Ski Resort

Jerry does something special in the middle of this. Worth a listen and laugh.
Stella Blue
July 26, 1987
Anaheim Stadium

From the word "combine" you can tell this is one of those priceless, emotional late-era Jerry vocals. Listen and vote.
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
June 27, 1987
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Possibly Phil's best vocal performance of all time.
Franklin's Tower
June 20, 1987
Greek Theater

For some reason Phil loses his fucking mind and decides to completely go for it on this version. Wild. Check out the SBD matrix.
Jack Straw
April 6, 1987
Meadowlands Arena

Burning. Emphatic. Mickey, Phil and Jerry lead the charge.
