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

hot!!! Vince's harmonies work nicely on this one, and it's heavy all around.

Cool version! Can’t imagine how sick this must have been at the time. I actually enjoy the slower pace. This feels like a practice run for the totally sick cold rain>fire on 7/4/86.

Awesome show and awesome version. Love Vince’s barroom style keys.

Worth a listen for the interesting theme Jerry plays with throughout the final solo. Cool version.

Fantastic version. Jerry's second solo is especially hot, with some crazy runs. As to the point made above, another version of Jackaroe with three solos that bears mention is 10-12-84 - a beast as well!
