Dupree's Diamond Blues
Nov. 2, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

Jerry's amazing tone is fat, crunchy, and wah-ed up psychedelic. Should definitely be ranked higher than 3-26-90 as at least the best post 70's version and I would argue better than 1969, which may be sacrilege, but there it is.

It's too bad there is only an audience version available because it rocks.

100% on fire Saturday Night after a string of several on fire tunes...Seriously rocking version. Keith is out of his mind. Donna even does a big growly thing and it fucking works!

BeggarsTomb summed it up. Really from Peggy-O on through this Goin Down The Road, the Dead were 100% on fire this night.

Spectacular version. As much jazz as it is funk and much different than what I'm used to.
