Thanks to George Prescott in Deadbase 50 for pointing this out. What a sublime solo, despite average sound quality.

A lush slow-build16-minute intro to The Other One that builds the tension to an almost unbearable degree.

Storming opener from a strong '86 show that leads into a sweet Peggy-O.

Just heard it on the 30 Trips set. Beautiful.

Good call DarkStar. Jerry's vocal on this one. Wow. Really sweet and incredibly soulful in that just on the edge of not quite making it but getting there beautifully way he had.

Keith swings like hell on this.

Hartford Civic Center

The audience make this one special, giving Jerry all the encouragement he needs to sing and play a blinder. Surprised it's not higher on the list. Always brings a smile to my face.

Spent ten minutes defying my arthritis and dancing to this in the kitchen yesterday when I should have been doing the ironing. Doesn't get said enough - the Dead were a helluva dance band.
