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.

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

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.

Truckin'
July 23, 1990
World Music Theatre

I just listened to this show in full the other day...it's brilliant. So tight and clean. Brent went out on top. This "Truckin'" is a monster. Great jam into a killer "Smokestack."

This is as good as this song gets. Flawless rendition. Jerry gets the lyrics right and delivers them with confidence.

Bobby's support behind Jerry's absolutely brilliant transition solo is heavenly.

Bob's vocals are so ballsy here! Great jam, too.

Only 11 minutes into this one and already I've been transported.
