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

Grendel - it’s heady because Jerry pulls out some major licks in the solo. Think archive commenters are right when they note this was an indoor venue and that Jerry was probably feeling the heat - literally - a little less.

Surprisingly good vocals. Fun version.

Jerry’s really into it. When I think of happy summer dead shows, i always think of this one. Such beautiful early summer energy and hot playing. Everyone seems to know this show is special, and I’m glad about that.

Really fucking hot, Jerry is playing excellently. Again bumping this first set as possibly the best of the year. More people need to hear this!!
