The Palace

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.

Terrible show, everyone knows about the rough Wharf Rat>NFA but this is definitely the highlight - Jerry's got that octave pedal going and it's short but VERY weird and scary.

Jerry looks really happy and honestly that's good enough for me. Fun version.

I do notice Jerry's guitar a little bit higher than usual, with a little bit more punch. This is a great version and Jerry nails every note of the slipknot riff both times.

I was listening to this high and it scared the shit out of me. Fantastic version, on par with any from the 60s imo. I like the Dick's Picks tracks because the "Spinach Jam" track starts about halfway through space and gives the jam a nice long time to build.

Love this one. Pretty hot, really feels like an old guy telling you a sailing story from his younger days. Love the Bolt tone.
