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 solid version. Video shows Jerry present and very into it.

Love the ethereal sound that every single recording from this run of shows has. Not sure what caused it but it gives every song played from oct 16-20 1974 a little extra prettiness and this Peggy o is no exception

Lovely version. Believe last time Jerry played it with the Dead. Played after Heaven Help/Sage and Spirit as Phil’s bass was still broken lol

Hot version! Wise AUD sounds awesome. They really pulled out all the stops on this final night.

The way it starts out of Jack Straw is interesting and melodic almost. Love this one.

Holy SHIT! The massive peak is unbelievable - the way the band climbs into it is absolutely crazy. It's really two peaks, a small first one and a MASSIVE second one right after. Can't say enough good stuff about this version. The Rolfe aud is fantastic for heavy duty crowd energy.
