Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

Friend of the Devil

Palace Theatre

I really dig this version. Bouncy and understated. Bobby and Keith with excellent supportive rhythmic contributions. Jerry with country twang vocals

Let It Grow
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

End jam is very dense and thick. Very strong effort with great backing from the rhythm devils

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Hot, compact ChinaCat jam, but the highlight is Jerry hammering the "headlight" lyric in Rider. Gave me chills (as most similar later versions do)

Estimated Prophet

Civic Center

Very tight version. Jerry nails the noodles richly, making for a far out excursion. Only issue is a seemingly rushed Eyes segue

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Segue from Playin' to Wheel is money! Segue back into Playin' reprise in not too shabby either. Very nice sandy
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Really glad i spun this one - definitely underrated, a short but smoking Scarlet leads into a breathtaking Fire. Hot version
Looks Like Rain
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Wow, this one is amazing! Only one i've heard that could rival 5/19/77 in my book. Perfect vocals from Bobby and Donna, and Jerry wails a note-perfect solo. Beautiful
Not Fade Away
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

The crowd singing the outro for this is a special moment
Morning Dew
Dec. 31, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

A lot of power in this one, really intense
