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

Your 90s matrixes always sound fantastic - would be super grateful if you got around to anything like that!

Pretty hot version. Jerry digs into the mid solo, leading Bob to eventually cut him off. This show is pretty much as good as it got in late 94 or 95.

Absolutely fantastic version. Searing solos from Jerry - I’d say this is 90% as good as 9/18.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

Hot version, band definitely into it. An unfortunate note on Jerry's playing in the late 80s - sometimes it could feel like he was playing the same runs over and over. They're very well played, but it's still the same solo over and over in china cat. Great "wish i was a headlight" in Rider

Probably one of the most under-the-radar shows in the band's history. Fantastic, strongly delivered version. Beautiful outro. Stunned no one talks about this version or this show
