Feel Like A Stranger
Feb. 5, 1989
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Busting out of the gate in the first show of the year. Great interaction between Bobby and Phil, tasteful commentary by Jerry.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 14, 1988
Miami Arena

Great version because Bobby is understated, even weary. This gives Jerry the space to jump into the choruses with emotion. Dodging lions.

Dire Wolf
April 5, 1988
Civic Center

Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

Estimated Prophet
Feb. 17, 1988
Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Notable because of what Bobby and Jerry play at the end of the jam. Fast forward to it if you need to.

Big River
Dec. 27, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great version. Jerry plays angry, always a good sign. Check out his first solo. Also, Brent's mumbly jumbly solo is not too bad here.

Eyes Of The World

Uptown Theater

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River
Jan. 15, 1978
Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jan. 13, 1978
Arlington Theater

Phil is great on this and I love how Jerry holds back and takes his time on the solos, waiting for something to happen. Burning fire at the end too.

Golden Hall

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
Let It Grow
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Jerry roars at the laryngitis show.
