I love this era of the Dead because Jerry was playing so damn great so much of the time. 85 has its issues but when it comes together it's fantastic.

This show took me by surprise. It's got confidence and creativity and energy and I highly recommend it to fans of this era.

The only caveat is the Never Trust A Woman which has to be up there on the leaderboard of all time Dead train wrecks. Jerry leaves the stage after Eyes (not uncommon at this point) and Brent starts the tune but the drummers aren't having it. There's a jarring musical tug of war, then a jam at the drummers' tempo, then eventually they cave and play the song. It's messed up but if you love these guys you will find it interesting at least.

Brent snuck a Never Trust a Woman in on us there. The first in 15 months and a song that was rarely played in 84, 85 and 86 before a moderate resurgence.

The only cut is during the tape flip in space.

multiple cuts in this source-these were all great shows, Weir climbed the scaffolding during Sugar Mag and continued to play far above the stage
