Nothing out of the ordinary, just a rock solid version coming out of Space towards the end of a terrific set. Great Jerry licks.

Excellent D/S that capitalizes on the weirdness of the preceding "Uncle John's Band" meltdown.

1994 gave us some great versions of this song. This one from the lauded MSG run is no exception.

Bright, peppy version from one the two or three truly great 1986 shows.

Just a solid well played version in a thoroughly enjoyable set. Jerry's on his game for this one.

This is not the first version post-coma, or even the first one of 1987. But there's something about this performance that puts definitive punctuation as to whether or not Jerry was truly back.

This needs to be at the top, I will absolutely put it up against 7/19/89 and 3/22/90. Just an absolutely ferocious version.

I still can't believe this and several other versions from this show are down as low as they are. This charges along with that 'new lease on life' energy Jerry had and doesn't let up.

I'm very surprised this one is as low as it is. Sung with great feeling, Clarence's sax is a surprisingly effective touch.

Wouldn't be a sax show without "Lovelight"!
