Distortion and Wammy bar Weir on this tour. This Dire is very solid.

Ok there were 5 of them. 2 out of 5 is not so bad. Playin'>Day Tripper is good stuff. I for one wanted more.

One of my favorite outro jams. Jerry, distortion and Billy's speed drumming.

This bustout version doesn't get enough love. Understood it's not 72 jammy but the ending is the heaviest of Dead. Hey Cuse, I have always wanted to tab Phil's ending jam. It would sure take awhile.
Not Fade Away
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Jerry digs into this final solo. Energy show finished off right!

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Yes indeed. This Stephen>NotFade>Stephen is just exactly perfect. The NotFade is a powerful piece of music, for sure.
