Short and concise, but man it packs a punch.

Really solid version, but the real magic is in the transition into Estimated, silky smooth!

This is a ripper for sure.

This one is full tilt rocking! I can't believe that it's all the way down here at the bottom. Jerry grabs a line (no pun intended) and just keeps cycling through it and the soon the whole band catapults itself into Rider. Really worth checking out!

It wasn't as show stopping as the previous year at the Garden (9-18-87) , but then again, not much was at that time. But I give this one a nod based on Jerry's emotional vocals and obvious effort. Powerful stuff.

Jerry and Co. kick the door down with this one. It twists, turns, melts and explodes. I'm really floored by power of this version so late in the game. I also really like the effects that Healy used on not only Bob's voice, but Phil's as well. Give it a spin, you won't be disappointed.

Really nice solo in this one. Another great selection from a killer night.
