I always wanted to hear/see a good recording of this. It was a unique lineup of Leavell with Gregg, Butch, Jaimoe, Dickey and Dangerous Dan. It turned out not be as good as hoped. This lineup sounded "light." Woody really added some low end "umpfff!" when he joined 3 years later and Warren added some needed grit to the sound, too. Gregg wasn't in great voice at this '86 performance either.
I would have loved for it to have worked out for Chuck to have joined the ABB in 1989 but it wasn't meant to be (the Stones ended their 7 year hiatus and Chuck answered that call). Still good to hear him in this lineup.

Could not have said it better myself. I feel the exact same way.

MyInnerEye uploaded audience shot footage from Bill Graham's Crackdown Concert, 10/31/86:
The footage uploaded for the crackdown concert is a bit rough. Does anyone have a clearer copy?
Also, hopefully this is a good reference to all existing video:
