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

Jack Straw
April 22, 1979
Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

Brent's 1st song with the band. Multiple Lesh bombs, rollicking drums, smoking Jerry licks, and impassioned vocals. Fine welcome to the band!

Giants Stadium

A real treat for the NYC crowd. Solid energy and tight execution
The Music Never Stopped
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Great spacey mid jam with nice effects from Brent. Ramp up jam has excellent energetic interplay between Jerry and Brent. Underrated
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Great energy, solid precision, band sounds like they are in the moment and having fun. Very enjoyable China > Rider
Feel Like A Stranger
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Deep, sultry groove to open the show, paired with a triumphant Franklins. Agree with comment above on thick Phil groove work
Doin' That Rag
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

Jerry falsetto and crunchy, bouncy bluesy jam. Heater!
