Marin County Civic Center

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

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)

Civic Center

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

Just spun based on the recommendation - very nice! I would have done a backflip if i caught this as an encore

Nassau Coliseum

Glad you dig! Crispy SBD of it on the 'Go to Nassau' release. Solid release overall, I'd recommend it.

Yup, this transition is RIDICULOUS. Always loved how it read Miracle > Shakedown on tapes. Miracle indeed
