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

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!
Morning Dew
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

Digging this bouncy version. Excellent ramp up for the close
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

This version is everything. Jerry's licks leading into the jam portion are indelibly etched into my brain. I have no shame in double commenting - this one is one of the absolute tops and deserves dap.
