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.

Tennessee Jed

Oakland Auditorium

Monster, outrageous solo by Jerry
Mama Tried
Dec. 31, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Also a great Jerry solo, unfortunately cut short by Bobby
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 27, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 27, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Jerry's solos are great on this. Check it out. Also love how he puts on the Mutron in the coda
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 10, 1979
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Jerry really nails the solo in Scarlet and is in control throughout. Great transition with stabbing accents by Bobby. Outrageous end to FOTM.
