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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 27, 1988
Hampton Coliseum

This is the moment Jerry actually emerges from his coma.
Little Red Rooster
Dec. 31, 1987
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rousing version, Jerry and Brent on fire
Bertha
Dec. 31, 1987
Oakland Coliseum Arena

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.
