Not a fan of this song but this version has spunk to spare. Still better when it was called "Hell in a Bucket."

Turn On Your Love Light

Madison Square Garden

The Dave Murray "Love Light"! Also, James Cotton lays down the harp for an extra bluesy feel. Really spry, energetic version from a great show.

Ass Kicker. 1985 was very kind to "Big Railroad Blues."

Truckin'

Madison Square Garden

Get the audience tape for this one and go to straight to "Truckin'." The sound is in your face and punchy and the crowd is absolutely wild. Bonkers "Truckin'." This whole show is fucking incredible.

It's stuff like that verse being Brent's last vocal and Jerry's last lead vocal being "Black Muddy River" that make me believe in the Dead's cosmic synergy.
Foolish Heart

Delta Center

The last truly great Dead show. Jerry is focused, committed, alert, creative. This is a monster "Foolish Heart."

Love this version, very bright and relaxed with nice playing from Brent and a solid vocal from Jerry.

EPIC VERSION ALERT! Bustles along brilliantly.
