Feel Like A Stranger

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.

Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

Estimated Prophet

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

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.

Fillmore East

Agree with iknowyourider. The amount of empty space early in this DS is frightening and beautiful. Also love what Phil plays at 22:46.

Bobby's playing is amazing in the jam.

One of my fave tapes from way back when. So many great moments from Jerry and Phil, especially in the transition and during Fire.

Jerry is really paying attention to this. Great emotion and inspiration vocally and in the solo.
