Comments:
Last performances of "Tons of Steel" and "La Bamba".
Thanks to the provider of the MSCs who for various reasons  wishes to remain anonymous.
Overall this recording has a lot more high end  than the source listed on the archive as being a MSC >DAT transfer.  This is likely the MSC that was used on that DAT transfer as the "Healy Weirdness" described during Desolation Row corresponds to a poorly patched tape flip.  There are no dropouts in La Bamba on this recording.

Flaws-
This recording has the nasty digital static at the beginning of the show (Stranger) coming through with what sounds like Bob's vocal mic as his voice is all distorted while you can hear Jerry and Brent's ok.  

Tape flip during the first verse of Desolation Row patched from a similar sounding performance (no drums, just guitars/voices) on 5/10/87 using Wavelab.

Tape flip durin Space was very short and crossfaded into near-imperceptiblity.
