Listen to the SBD of this for a great example of Bobby's subtle, beautiful playing

Listen to how Jerry begins the second chorus of his solo. Brilliant. Mickey drives this hard too. Heat builds up in the set leading to this.

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Rousing version, Jerry and Brent on fire

Great version with an exceptional Jerry solo. Listen to him begin the second chorus
Bird Song
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Brilliant long jam, from crashing to quiet. Listen to Brent and Jerry.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

This version really creeps up on you. Phil and the drummers are locked in. Then you hear how into it Jerry is, and how well Bobby is singing. Then it's over.
