Bob's signing/ inflections make this a unique one (when you asked how I was doing,Hah!, was that some kind of joke?!)

Exceptional performance, stunning Jer vocal runs at the end, with a tasty end jam that keeps on giving...

Also: it is often an egregious Jerry flub that leads to these types of anomaly versions of gold. He knows he fucked up, and he is determined to make you forget it, and you know what? He wins!

Phil bombs are fun, absolutely, and for that this show needs to be heard. After that check out the 4-6-87 Jack Straw if you want pure rabid Easy Coast manic energy Dead.

This version continues to give and give....To comment on the comments: make the time to listen, you came here for the best! So often on this site my favorites are the 5th or 6th ranked....so if you are reading this, go listen. It's that good.
