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

With feeling. Jerry goes for it on the vocals.

Honestly one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. I saw someone comment on another version “this is one of the reasons I stopped seeing the dead” and I get it. I’ll take any Vince song over this. Jerry takes some ripping solos though, and the little out jam into terrapin is cool.

Sorry to say that no 94 DS gets my vote. This one and 3/16 are both unexploratory noodlefests. I will give Vince some credit - his sound is very reminiscent of Pigpen's 60s Vox organ. Really cool. This show overall is quite good, but they should have hung up DS after 3/20/92.

Sublime transition from Estimated to Terrapin. Love how Jerry plays with the classic Lady with a Fan riff out of Estimated. Very underrated show IMO

I'm not going to lie I straight up love Vince's "Roll away-ay-ay the dew" harmonies on all the 90s Franklin's. Come at me, haters
