Soon after "If you get confused listen to the music play" I got confused as I mistook Bob's notes for a catfight.

Too bad missing portion towards end as whole band -especially Brent- fired up!

Band builds momemtum througout 1st set to where even meh tunes like Picasso Moon and U.S. Blues are dialed in!

Whole band particularly Phil doing this lovely song justice. Jerry such a nice cascading solo.

Don't normally think of '87 as strong jamming year but various LIGs suggest otherwise. Every member contributes grately!

Phil and folks hitting it so hard it reminds of the more rampaging versions of Alabama Getaway or Passenger.

On our own, on our own... Yeah, yeah I know what follo... wait, what's with Jerry's ascending scale and then with Brent, and now whole band is flipping out and truly a scintillating jam takes place!

Reaallly good version as Weir all kinds of nice backing, Hornsby with daring jazzy contributions and Garcia liquid blues.
Not Fade Away

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Kinda wish guitarist John Cipollina was given a little more room to operate, but nice to hear him guesting.
