Don't be fooled by the year. Jerry's total on for this first set and rips out a great "Getaway" at the top.

From a legendary show. Just felt it needed to be rep'd.

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"!
