I'm surprised nobody commented on this show. Jerry kills the opener. Trippy as ever. Listening again to confirm the goodness of the entire show. My memory seems to have melted away...o0

Was there. Saw 3 outta the 9 night run and this was the best night of all 3, but after listening to all of the 3 I was at, and being the only shows I saw in 88, as I was fading from the SCENE at the time, these MSG shows were not epic in anyway! Lot's of sloppiness IMHO.
