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

It's okay, and worth a vote for the effort put in, but it's really hard to watch Jerry struggling with licks he could have played effortlessly several years before.

Jerry rallies for a VERY hot mid solo. Shredded, great peak. Surprising how random it could be where he showed up playing well in shows in this era.

Yeah, awesome pick GR. Definitely slower than some of the coked up 80s versions, which is a major plus, and jerry's soloing is quite focused.

Great jamming, Jerry turns up the funk and vince's keys sound awesome. Lots of underrated spring 91 shows, most of them featured just Vince on keys which gave the band some breathing room IMO

DS - One of the best Garcia moments ever. This whole east coast tour was unbelievably high energy, unreal that we have video
