Friend of the Devil
Sept. 24, 1972
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
March 27, 1987
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!

He's Gone
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

My favorite of the early 70s. Long, airy, flowing, and beautiful. A true highlight of the Houston '72 release. Digs deep with soul
Greatest Story Ever Told

Hofheinz Pavilion

“But this version goes to 11” - shit cranks and gets to the peak fast...

Hofheinz Pavilion

As mentioned, super bumping Phil, but he does some nimble, more subtle moves early in the track that are choice too. Jerry contributes the this being a great one

Winterland Arena

This jam cranks. Jerry and the drummers pulling together a nice wind up to the peak.
