Springfield Civic Center Arena

Like most everything else from this show, this one is raucous and passionate, like all great NFAs.

The space in the final solo is indeed getting hot.

Lively version, Jerry was clearly engaged and having fun, even if his chops weren't at 100%. Love the enthusiastic vocals at the end.

The Other One

Laguna Seca Raceway

Firey, trippy version that leads into a strong Wharf Rat. The vocal effects Bobby used on this tune in '87 sometimes sound hokey, but they work here.

Laguna Seca Raceway

Intense, focused version with lots of Phil bombs. Coming out of a strong The Other One. A combo that could sometime be a post-space snooze delivers.

The crowd clapping along — throughout the show — is amazing to hear. You don’t see or hear this at shows anymore! Very enthusiastic Heads at Alpine!

Jeez, this smokes! Maybe I’ve been sleeping on ‘83.

Watching the YouTube video convinced me to upvote. What a time they were having that summer!
Wang Dang Doodle
July 2, 1989
Sullivan Stadium

Should be viewed as a “Crazy Fingers> Wang Dang Doodle” and it’s a doozie. All night long!
Day Job

Madison Square Garden

Nice vocals make this version stand out
