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 strong version, fantastic jam with jerry reaching incredible peaks. Cassidy really reached new heights from 83-89.

Super powerful version, very strong out solo, Jerry was really present and on it for this one. Shouldn’t be missed.

Always want to find versions that aren’t 77 to upvote, but man, may 77 really was the banner month for this tune. Aching and beautiful each and every version, and this ones no exception. Love how sweet and tender Jerry played the solos in may before his tone changed when he switched to wolf in the fall.

Pretty hot outro and Jerry doesn’t miss a lyric. Nice one.

Jerry didn’t play a bad version of this song, but I’m pretty sure this one is the best. His voice is just aching and perfect.
