Fast but very neat and tight. Cool version from the best run of 1986.

Motherfucker out of "Cold Rain & Snow." Shit hot and rockin'. A bit sloppy but full of energy.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Vince is admittedly awful here, but Phil and Jer make up for it. Cool version.

Big Railroad Blues

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Not a great show, Jerry still finding strength after the coma. This BRB, however, smokes.

Always the little song that could in any set it appeared in. This one rocks.

Sugar Magnolia

Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is a contender for my favorite individual Dead performance of all time. Others may be more musically interesting or technically sound, but the energy leaping out of this one is phenomenal. And Bob's rap is just icing on a very delicious cake.
Sugaree

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

My personal fave "Sugaree." It has a very mournful sound in the wake of Bill Graham's death and it just goes on and on with Jerry in fine form. This show and the Halloween one are my two favorite post-Brent shows.
