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

Some minorly marbled lyrics, but this jam slays. Very energetic
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Spokane Coliseum

Rock clinic. Full band screaming the vocals by the end
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 27, 1982
Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Super clean, precise C>R. Jam out of China is nimble and melodic.
Eyes Of The World
June 14, 1980
Spokane Coliseum

Played at 5x the speed of lightening, this one still has legs and melody for a 12 min version. Nimble throughout, though almost dizzyingly rapid and immediate.
Feel Like A Stranger

Long Beach Arena

Gross. I'm sweaty and all I did was listen. Funk disco dead kills
