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.

Jerry does something special in the middle of this. Worth a listen and laugh.

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

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.

Meadowlands Arena

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