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

This needs more attention. A very well played version, and the only one with lyrics post 85. Jerry's digital preamp gave him a very "fat" tone from dec 92 through summer tour 93 and it really works here. Seriously underrated and must have been unbelievable hearing this live.

Absolutely fantastic playing and singing here. Jerry's all over the mid solo and the outro - the phrase he plays with in the beginning of the outro is LOVELY. Highly recommend this one - the Deer Creek run in 94 was not so bad, all things considered.

I'd like to take back my previous comment -- upon a re-listen I've found that Jerry's playing is strong, especially in the mid solo and in the second half of the outro. He's just a little quiet. Overall very strong version for this late in the game. For competitors see 7/19/94, 4/2/95, 5/29/95
