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
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

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

God, Keith's fluttering notes always send chills up the spine on this one. Rolling, gentle, mellow greatness
Ship of Fools

Jai-Alai Fronton

This jam leading in is everything..
China Doll

So delicate and achingly beautiful. Amazing version

SERIOUS bounce to the ounce to open this killer show.
Me and My Uncle
Oct. 22, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Usually a fly over song for me, but Keith is suuuper bouncy in this and Jerry meshes perfectly with fills. Fun version
