Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

One of the heaviest Dead moments ever. Stunning version, Jerry's vocals are as strong as you've ever heard em

Solid version, and very interesting fuzzed out tone from Jerry in the end solo. Brent's doing some weird shit too. rather unknown and hot show

Ok come on folks even if just for the stunning first UJB this deserves more votes. Absolutely torn to bits in the outro and (very smooth) transition to playin.

Super tight. Perfect re-entry from spaciness into the end jam. Jerry is on FIRE, Bob right along with him. Everyone always talks about the Wharf Rat>Sugar Mag and for good reason, but now that there's a very good AUD out there, no reason to not enjoy the whole show.
