Comments
Jerry's voice was shot
Harsh voice, but its the last show of an extremely powerful fall '87 run.
A pretty diverse song order and collection...
Would have been an ok show, but 3 things took up notch:
2nd row center; smack in front of Bobby
Jerr Ber staring us down during Big Boss Man
Feeling the spit from Esau......have it in a jar still ;)
Cheers!

"Texas Show"
This show had a different feel in the first set that TR and I dubbed the "Texas Show", with Minglewood, High Time, Big River and Especially Big Boss Man, and Jerry's voice so rough for the Boss Man, that was killer! In the second set, Bobby advised "Be sure to watch plenty of TV, you might see this one on it" before Hell in a Bucket.

Only show I didn't get in
I really enjoyed the two previous shows and drove back and forth to Bloomsburg, PA for each show (couldn't miss class). I may have made class in body, but my mind was still somewhere else.
I have always found a way to get a ticket one way or another, but not this night, We could hear the music a little from the outside, but it made for a longer ride home.
