Yes, 1986. Surprised myself, but this is just about Exactly Perfect, and only 2 weeks after Jerry's return. Segues right into a great Eyes.

Nobody is more surprised than me to describe this song as heady, but they killed it this night.

Marathon 21-minute version - Great all the way through leading into Watchtower. The first 7-8 minutes are spectacular.

Franklin's Tower

The Sportatorium

A really good version, coming off a somewhat sloppy Help into a fantastic Slipknot. But the thing that always strikes me about this is that around the 11:30 mark, Keith begins playing the Foolish Heart riff.

The Spectrum

Love Bob's two "oops" during this challenging song. Very well played.
Candyman

The Spectrum

Great audience reaction throughout, especially when Jerry reaches the "Candyman's in town" line. The Spectrum always seemed like home court, and this is the first post-coma performance at a great (and criminally under-appreciated) show.
