I can't get over how good these Spring '87 shows are. We've all listened to hundreds of Playin's maybe in the 80s alone. My jaw is dropping at how good Jerry's guitar work is in this Playin. He is on fire -- crisp, inventive, authoritative. There is a certain control, a marshalled energy that the band exhibits in early '87 that results in some excellent jamming -- I would argue some of the best of the 80s. I think Mr. Badger nailed it.

- ★★★★★ · One of the best... · beather · 2021
The gents came to play with a smile, in tuned instruments, and love in the heart; after all it was Mother’s Day month. Personally, when it came down to it the people that attended we’re the best folk I ever did meet @ the concert, dusty parking and down the road. Thank you Grateful Dead, very grateful. ❤️

With a good set of speakers, the right "kind" and a fine glass of Slacker, I embark on another journey! Long Live the Grateful Dead!!!
