The Palace

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

Very solid version. Video shows Jerry present and very into it.

Nice to hear Jerry use a clean tone during slipknot - sounds great with his tone in this period. Similar feeling to 9/22 at MSG earlier this fall - I don't think this version is quite as good but this slip is a couple mins longer than 9/22

Better than the one from the 22nd. Can't imagine being on that MSG run though and hearing 2 Ramble on Roses IN NEW YORK CITY 5 days apart...

Forgot to comment when I heard this one. A classic, well played dew. Not as wild as 6/18 but strongly played and cohesive. Solos might be better on this one, even, but Jerry's vocals are better on 6/18, as noted above

Check out the first set too DS! First duprees since 90 and its HOT. Great loser, masterpiece, let it grow as well - and the closer Baby Blue is my fav version

Very strong outro, this is a very kind show and extremely slept on due to the notoriety of the following night
