This is not the part of '86 in which I'm most interested, but this has been rec'd to me just for the unique setlist and weird point in band inertia (or lack thereof). It has a Supplication sans Lightnin', the last I Don't Need Love, and a Lady with a Fan sans Terrapin [for the opposite see 5/22/77]. Sometimes Heads will point to a set and note "this is the one you play for your friends to get them on the bus". This second set is the one you play to make them think you have long been insane.
First Set. A very average set. No real highlights, no real trainwrecks. After a quotidian Minglewood (south, uh, fillies/T in wherever we are...this is Irvine!), Brent adds a cool synth near the end of an uptempo Peggy-O. Desolation Row is just the third outing. Half-Step Mississippi is also uptempo, and gets good at the end. While they decide what's next, Bobby just starts doodling Supplication and Jer immediately picks it up - the 4th time they tried this in '86 and maybe the best. When Bobby shifts from a major to a minor, that alone is enough to set off a Let it Grow. The rest has sloppy moments, mostly on Jer.
Second Set. I have circled back a couple times to this China Cat>Rider. It grew on me, though objectively I make no claims to its stature, other than being the show's peak. I like the way Jer adds ideas. Unfortunately it's downhill from here. Looks Like Rain is not tight, and Bobby tries going over the top to sell it until, eventually, Jer ends it. He then leaves the stage during Terrapin, but it was a bit of a struggle, and either way it falls apart. It sounds like he got lost on the ascension to "since the end is never told". Bobby plays a riff hint @5:00 to remind him, but Jer is gone. If he needed the bathroom, understandable; but would he not have told Brent or Mickey "be right back"? Out of the trainwreck, with Bobby not sure what they can pull off and the drummers not successfully taking over, Brent starts the final I Don't Need Love. But rather than a rescue, it trainwrecks further. It's had 15 airings yet still sounds undeveloped. Bobby is game but not exactly full of ideas, and it ends up sounding like the Doobie Bros. kicking around a sketch idea in a drunken practice sesh. And it keeps going. Ouch! Drums>Space is low on passion, but Jer returns and they shake off the haze of the last half hour. I Need a Miracle is put over enough to function as a reprieve from the lugubrious proceedings. Black Peter has no jam finish cuz Bobby wants Throwing Stones. But it's just bad (good if you want to hear bad Dead for baseline comparison). Lovelight isn't a trainwreck as much as just odd (though "crazy dictators over there in Africa, maybe right here at home" was prophetic). Box of Rain was the first on the west coast since Seattle '73.
1st Set: C
2nd Set: D
Overall = 2 stars
Highlights:
nope
SOURCES: The cleanest SBD is the miller_81647. Most of the AUDs run fast (like ford_85287), though better ones have appeared (like hecht_miller_clugston).

This is a fantastic board, Joani's tapes are the best and Charlie is the transfer master. But the show is a complete dog.
Subject: still gets more then 3 stars
Subject: Jerry's walkoff
Pretty good show otherwise, but nothing exceptional here.
Subject: not bad
Subject: Terrapin Train Wreck!!
Subject: Sets the Standard
