It's hard to say exactly why this version of this tune that no one thinks about too much is heady, but it really, really is

The Music Never Stopped

Builds to a phenomenal peak. Weir and Jerry are on it.

Are you kidding? This is one of the best Big Rivers I've heard. Phil, Jerry, what else can I say? Crank it up

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.
