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

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

He's Gone
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

I will again implore the necessity of spinning this version. The Bobby/Jerry interplay at the end is some of the best, most unique I have heard. Leads into a top version, huge early peak Truckin'. Hard to get any better than this pairing

Wow, truly incredible. Multiple supremely creative jam segments. Loved this version, thanks!

This is supposed to be 7-4-89. Something got supremely F'ed up...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

Pretty sweet version - FOTM bleeds nicely into a Stir it Up Jam
